Our drama exam is on the 19th Nov 2010, so Ms Smith decided to prepare us by giving us notes that will aid us in our dress rehearsals. She went through all of it, and taught us the correct way to write a script, how we can improve on a character and review the techniques we learn in class.

After 3 weeks of not having classes, it feels really great to be back in the class. The amount of workload for the past three weeks was a torture!
