When or instructor told us that we have or stage play in her subject I felt hassled because that would mean that we need to practice everytime we have our free time. But what I kept thinking was, I will do this for the sake of my grade.
During or meetings about r stage pay, I felt nervous again because I didn’t know what would be my task. So when the time came that they assigned me as Oedipus, the main character of the play, the first thing that went into my head was to refuse. I told them that I would accept other roles instead. But then, my classmates also refused to have the lead character, so it was decided that the three of us would have the role of the lead character and then, I had nothing else to do but to accept it.
Every time we have our practice and I see the script, I just wanted to quit. I hate memorizing. But I am forced to do it well and I don’t have a choice because my grade is affected. My head was aching and it was hard for me to memorize. It took a long time for me to familiarize the script, and I have to read it over and over again.
But I took the practice seriously that when someone is asking me questions or talking to me while I was memorizing, I didn’t entertain them. I focused with what I was doing. Sometimes I gave myself a break, but it came to a point that I have to miss my lunch for the sake of my script to be memorized!
