June 3rd

Okay, so Marjorie's second draft comments and such.

- Needs MLA heading
- sentence variation needed
- amount of information good
- needs 'smoothing out'
- choppy
- sounds confused
- need to work through with her.

Pg 100 for managing my rehearsal well today, and not looking like an idiot who can't stay on book while writing blocking.

Today with the freshman we worked on their analysis papers for All the President's Men. I have to say that I am honestly impressed with them sometimes, they are like little sponges that just absorb everything ya throw at them, and they don't like to give up on whatever they're working on. Tenacious buggers.

Anyway, I deserve a 100 for picking up the slack that the absent seniors have left and helping their freshman in their absence.

I missed last night's, I know. But today in class we had the freshmen watch all "All the President's Men," which downloaded for the good of the glass. Following the film we had a brief post discussion, and then kindly reminded them of the three page paper they need to write.

Why I deserve a 100. Because during 5th and 8th period I (with bella's assitance during 8th) managed to bang out the two tables for Cleo's show at the end of May. Tomorrow we do the platforms. Yay.

PS. Yesterday I totally deserve a 100 because Bella and I rehung the entire plot. In 45 minutes.

So, today, instead of watching All the President's Men, we did a mini lecture on the Watergate scandal and president nixon and the state of the country at the time as well as a brief lesson on how to write a good critical analysis of a film, all because we didnt have the film to watch.

Why I deserve a 100. Being able to explain the watergate scandal offhand.

May 3rd

So, we did the exit exam today. Fun stuff. Easy as pie. The questions were really basic and didn't require much depth or extrapolation of any of the information given. Even without studying I feel really confident about how I did on the test.

Why I deserve a 100 today, my dealing with the move of the freshie showcase and getting a good %30 done with rehanging the rep, in 45 minutes.

April 27th

So, today we had another typical rehearsal with further grounding and relationship establishing exercises with our little freshies. We are spending a little more time on that with this piece because so much of the scene depends so much on how these characters react to one another and how much their lives influence the piece.

Why I deserve a 100. Because I am 5 instruments away from finishing the hang of the plot (damn it takes a long time in 35 minute intervals in a team of two, and sometimes alone.) And I'm keeping an eye on Marjorie and trying to get her to have her costumes in by monday of next week so she doesn't fail, poor lonely designer.

April 26th

Okay, let's get that average up from a 55.whatever. So today, the 'process' consisted of setting up the call thing via google chat today. After that pleasant discussion with our teacher, we went into rehearsal where we worked with bringing both of the actors up to a place where we could effectively block the scene. During 8th period I began hanging the front light for the light plot with Bella, who's proving a very eager learner and effective worker.

Why I deserve 100: Because I'm stepping in as TD pro tem due to his inconsistency, medical issues or not. Also, I have began taking Bella under my wing because of her apparent interest in lighting.
