Professor Apple

I was quite surprised that he just sat down in front of everyone and seemed so casual. All I could think in my head is, "Dude where is your presentation ?!" My thoughts were soon answered as he said he was an actor. He was a right hemispered brain person. These people are very creative and don't really have a way of putting things linearly and orderly. He started of saying that his vision of college was the he was going act, play guitar, and meet women. That was a bit overwhelming but he was as honest as can be. He wanted to be an actor since highschool so he pretty much succeeded since he did alot of work before becoming a proffessor. He told us to take a class you would have never thought of taking, get out of your comfort zone, and do new things. He graduated feeling ready for college . He attended Princeton , wow! He wanted to go to an acting graduate school so he decided on Juliare Acting Graduate school in New York. He considered himself a city person so he absolutely loved the city and all of its energy. He acted in the New York Skakespeare festival there. After he performed throughout thrity five states using a bus as transportion. All the other actors and himself had to improvise for one hour on stage. He had to adjust his presence to all the different stages since some were 500 seats and others were 80 seats. He liked the gypsy life. Well he came down from his endless talk of experience and said he had to settle. He wanted to find a job that he could impose all his talents and desires upon. He married and brought his family to Santa Barbara. He got a job as a teacher in UCSB. He loves his job here and connects to all of his students.
