I'm so excited because I'm gonna go to the High
School of Performing Arts, I mean I was dying to
be a serious actress. Anyway, it's our first day
acting class and we're in the auditorium and the
teacher, Mr. Karp, puts us upon the stage with our
legs around everybody, one in back of the other,
and he says: \"Okay, we're gonna do
improvisations...Now, you're on a bobsled and it's
snowing out and it's cold... Okay, go!\"
Ev'ryday for a week we would try to feel the
motion,
Feel the motion down the hill.
Ev'ry day for a week we would try to hear the wind
rush
Hear the wind rush, feel the chill
And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul To
see what I had inside.
Yes, I dug right down to the bottom of my soul And
I tried, I tried!
And everybody goin' \"Woosh... woosh ... I feel
the snow, I feel the cold,
I feel the air...\" And Mr. Karp turns to me and
he says: \"Okay, Morales, what did you feel?\"
And I said... \"Nothing, I'm feeling nothing,\"
And he says \"Nothing could get a girl
transferred.\"
They all felt something, but I felt nothing
Except the feelin' that this bullshit was absurd!
But I said to myself, \"Hey, it's only the first
week. Maybe it's genetic, They don't have bobsleds
in San Juan!\"
Second week, more advanced, And we had to be a
table, Be a sportscar, Ice-cream cone.
Mister Karp, he would say, \"Very good, except
Morales.
Try, Morales, all alone.\"
And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul To
see how an ice cream felt... Yes, I dug right down
to the bottom of my soul And I tried to melt!
The kids yelled, \"Nothing!\" They called me
\"Nothing\"
And Karp allowed it, which really makes me burn.
They were so helpful, they called me \"Hopeless\",
Until I really didn't know where else to turn.
And Karp kept
