Is This Dee End?

Well, yesterday in acting class, Dee let us know that the class might be cancelled in June or July. She's been taping a show for NBC called "Sons and Daughters" for the past few months and should it be picked up, well, she's just not going to have time to teach. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this announcement. I love the class not only for the lessons I've learned and the chance to get on stage and act in front of an audience each week, but for the people I've met and the friends I've made, which I suppose won't change once the class is over, as long as we feel like making the effort. Also, there's been a change in mood this year, a sort of near tangible restlessness that makes the possibility of closure feel right somehow. I'll definitely miss the class if it does end though, don't get me wrong. The blend of acting and spirituality, passion and insight Dee brings each week makes it a unique experience I'm sure I won't find with any other teachers. But maybe it's just time for something new.

On a side note, a bunch of us went to Timmy's, as always, after class and due to our loud, raunchy and sometimes vulgar behavior, we had a hazing of sorts of the new student in class, Jamie (she's at the bottom left of the picture). So, welcome to the class Jamie. And, sorry.

actually, it's not too bad - instead of doing a "next week don't bother coming to class, it's cancelled" she's giving us 5 or 6 months to grieve and plan.

Yeah I have mixed feelings as well. Although I don't think we'd all stop hanging out, that would be ridiculous. But I would miss the class and I don't know if I'd want to start a new one...I won't miss her yelling at me though :)
