Today I woke up still having a cold and I cough, I have a nice little headache and fever. It’s just awesome! I had to go home early from school and I had to rearrange a casting I was called to do. Good thing I could change it to tomorrow, I would have been dead otherwise..

It’s a hectic but really fun week coming together.

Wednesday: Casting for a commercial and monologue performance
Thursday: Casting for a humor show, watching a theater play performed by some of the people at my school, my cousin comes to Stockholm and will stay all weekend
Friday-Sunday: Hanging with my cousin, doing random things!

I’m now in Helsinki with mom <3 Audition tomorrow..

So I am auditioning for Helsingfors theatre school two weeks from now and I have both my texts (that I will audition with) set. I am going to do one of the texts that I auditioned with to this school that I’m attending now and one poem that I will perform in church 2 days before my audition in Finland. Stoked.

But now, it’s Friday, I will call my friend Friday aka FvS soon and I will see if I will be able to grab a coffee with her before I go to school. It’s been forever since I met her so if we met up I’ll be stoked. Tomorrow is the celebration of spring really being here (Swedish people tend to have to have something to celebrate so we can drink like crazy and wake up the day after saying; Well it was Valborg so it is okay).

Much love,
You one and only, Jess the Actress

A Shakespeare sonnet, the harmony of a play. It’s magical how so few words can make you feel and see.

120

That you were once unkind befriends me now,
And for the sorrow which I then did feel
Needs must I under my transgression bow,
Unless my nerves were brass or hammered steel.
For if you were by my unkindness shaken,
As I by yours, y’have passed a hell of time,
And I, a tyrant, have no leisure taken
To weigh how once I suffered in your crime.
O that our night of woe might have rememb’red
My deepest sense, how hard true sorrow hits,
And soon to you, as you to me then, tend’red
The humble salve which wounded bosoms fits!
But that your trespass now becomes a fee;
Mine ransoms yours, and yours must ransom me.

So we are now working with Shakespeare in school, which is classic. Which acting school does not? We have a course now that is called Monologue technique, which until now have been based on cold reading and being where you are in your text. When you say something, do you say it because your emotion drives you to it or do you say something and act from what you say? I can’t really explain it better than the master himself; so enjoy!

Shattered mind right now. I know that I shouldn’t complain, I hate people who complain! But I will, I sure will. Spinning yesterday hurt my back so bad I can’t even put socks on because it hurts so darn much, this means I missed my stage fighting class today and made me doubt my existence. lol. Being at home for too long is taking it’s tall on me, I get super bored and tired.

Me on my way home from the naprapath

My naprapath told me that I probably shouldn’t do any more exercise this week since I hurt my back yesterday.. Sucks.. I want to go to the gym, now! I had such good workout this Monday, got so pumped up it’s crazy!

Lots of sunny pictures are going up on my blog right now. That’s because I’m so white the camera wont even see me and because it actually is sun outside! I’m done with my essay now, believe it or not! So I’m spending the rest of the day chilling….. Nah, joke. I’m going to the gym, I don’t know what time yet but I’m hoping there is less people in the afternoon so I’m waiting a little bit longer. I may even go for a walk now when it’s sunny outside.

Learning by doing. I was so anxious and nervous about writing this essay, I though it would have been hard, that I wouldn’t really have the energy nor the amount of experience and fact. But when I started it was really easy, I just had to stay focus and drink shit loads of coffee.

It’s the unofficial hat day at Calle Flygare today, hope to “others” remember. Haha.. I’m going out tonight and since I don’t have time to get home and back to Stockholm I’m dressed for success already. Maddie and Vanity are going to meet up with me at school and from there we are going to Rock n’ Roll! Yeeeeeeah.

My first day at Calle Flygare Acting school: It was a lot of emotions and impressions going around when we had our first group session. We said our names and something that we all shared with the group, mostly it was excitement on this education, but what else to say that you have in common with a room full of people you just met. Mine was; We all have in common that we get a smile on our faces when we hear the word Acting…

Ufff, what I lovely picture.. missed over half of em’. Shhhy, be quite

… Said and done, everyone was smiling. And we also had to say something unique about ourself, and I said that what was unique with me is that I’m the only left-handed,  short aesthetic person in my WHOLE family. Haha, because my whole family is workaholics in the business sector. Dad is a company owner, mom is a human resource manager and it goes on until the end of forever.
