In which Our Hero phones it in with a brief reflection (it’s the weekend, after all)
I started memorizing lines this weekend. The school doesn’t care what the words mean: only that you say them exactly right. It’s strange to memorize language as sound instead of sense.
I’ve been using a first-letter mnemonic I found on YouTube, which works surprisingly well. Combine that with the top-secret trick of practicing right before bed and again first thing in the morning, and the lines get codified much faster.
That’s all for today. Tomorrow begins Week 2 of Clown School. Onward! 🎭
