Getting better or worse??

Hey guys. I am back to blog again and this time, although it is only the second blog, I am totally blank and out of idea of what to write. Let’s just recall what we did or had with Dr Edwin this week. Basically, Dr. Edwin continued the lesson with history of drama in the 20th century. Then, he continued with the different genres that Drama has and as well as the conventions of Drama.
I really don’t know whether this course is getting better for me or getting bad to worse. As I said earlier in my previous blog, it is kinda fun, exciting and interesting to learn about drama and theater especially when the plays are concerned but when it comes to its ancient history and stuffs like that, I am so easily demotivated. It could be led by the fact that I hate history so much ever since I was in secondary school. But, there is no escape to it because it is just a part of it.
History may not be my area of interest. But, drama and plays can possibly be one thing that can trigger my interest and instantly grab my attention. I love it because drama is like a portrayal of real lives we are all living in now. So basically, drama is closely related to our heart. Frankly speaking, I am a very emotional person and I am easily moved, touched and overwhelmed by certain things and drama is one of it. I admit that I did cry a few times while watching dramas or play and believe it or not Dr Edwin, I actually almost shed tears while watching the so called ‘theater’ performance by our seniors. I could relate to one of the theater so much so that I almost shed tears for it. Alright, fine. It sounds a bit like over the top or overboard or anything like that but I am so sure that Dr.Edwin must be laughing the moment he’s reading this. However, it is very true. Dr. Edwin himself did mention during the last class we had with him about ‘Catharsis’ which refers to a release of emotion. It deals with emotions and psychological experience and I strongly believe that Catharsis does exist in me. Hahaha.
There are more things to explore about drama. I reckon that this course is not gonna be easy but if there is a will, there is a way. Till then, see you guys again in my next post. Sayonara
