This month finding time to go to the gym and work out was the hardest part.

I picked two Shakespeare speeches and one contemporary speech for the auditions, and did … Continue reading Acting
Going to the gym
This month of going to the gym was hard. I started a new routine for developing my back and shoulder muscles more and I have not done that before.

Volunteering at an animal shelter
In January, I came back to the animal shelter for another round of dog walking, because my previous experience doing it was great. This time it was more of the same, the only difference was the fact that I walked the same dogs I did last time. It really makes me feel uneasy, knowing that … Continue reading Volunteering at an animal shelter

Training mma
This month I returned to training MMA after a long time. It has been a good while since I've done this, but I was surprised that I did not fall off that much, which may be due to the fact that I have been training myself at the gym every month. The bigger surprise, however, … Continue reading Training mma

This month I continued my acting training in the "6 pojuciai" studio. And now I am in the stronger group. The work here is much more demanding but it is also much higher-quality. The motivation of the people in this group is also higher, in addition to that they are more skilled, so it requires … Continue reading Acting
