Thursday's post
so today was like a huge discussion day. we discussed SATS, college, senior showcase, our futures in general. I'm excited for our idea, I just dont think it will work out. and i just wish things were simple. Like why must we be so ambitious as a junior class? We cant just say that putting on a show at the school is enough. Nope. We have to want to take it across state lines to ohio and new york. yep. thats my class.
pg-100
i know what im doing for my showcase, and i want to push for ohio to get involved. i just hope everything works out, and i really dont want to direct a million shows, but if it would improve the show and make it more consistent , i would try it. so lets get ready for next year.

so today i light designed for the dancers. I kind of made up the design as i was going. I'm proud of how fast i got the plot hung and how well i've been delegating when necessary. although I was kind of the cause of major confusion, and i definitely took on too much and made promises i cant keep, but i think in the end it worked out. I got the job done, though I wasnt able to work as a director today.
pg-100
i got an entire light plot hung and roughly focused in like two periods today. I'm definitely improving on my delegation, and on my freaking out. I stayed fairly calm while creating a plot in my head. While it was a crappy situation, and things got confusing, at the end of the day a plot got hung.

So today we talked about majors and minors. I'm still looking forward to direct and I can't wait to work with our light designer. I'm wondering what I will get to do. Like I feel like I'm going to help hang and focus but before that? It should be interesting. And I can take that time to learn auto cad.

So we got our test results back today. I was shocked I got 85% right. I'm guessing I just picked up more than I thought during class, cause I know I didn't study enough at all. And I'm getting my A, so I'm happy with my grade at this point.
Also we started a prioritizing lesson, and while I find it important to prioritize, I feel like that system doesn't always work for me, so I want to look at other time management strategies and find one I really like.

I began prioritizing my life in class and I and I contiued when I got home. They're needs to be more hours in the day. 24, so not cutting it anymore. I'm also planning on re working my old play draft to just add some new things I have, like some cut lines to save time, and some monologue changes.

So yesterday I had crossroads. And we learned some basic systems around the office, how to answer phones and some general tasks we'd be doing for the theatre. I'm happy about learning new tasks, but I seriously would never want to be a secretary. Their work seems really boring. Like I just prefer being in rehearsal and working like that, not sitting behind a desk for hours on end.

So today we heard the results of our play's fates. I'm surprised I got that high up. I mean I know you and crystal enjoyed it but I wasn't sure if they others would. Though I am slightly mad that my play had to be excused almost. Like I had to be saved by an older draft. I'm bothered that I didn't understand any notes I got from crystal because clearly they didn't help my play. So maybe I don't know how to take critiques, that's cool.

Today I went for the play readings. I was frustrated because a lot of the plays sounded better during rehearsals. And I could tell that some actors didn't look into the plays as much as I wanted them to. I get they have a lot of work but I think they would have sounded better if they looked into them more. I really wanted them to mark or at least notice topic changes. Its one thin i constantly heard and hated, when one sentence has two different ideas-completely different- but they're read exactly the same. But c'est la vie. Can't do much about that.

I evaluated my work today, and for my first time directing ever, and for 2 days of rehearsing, I felt like I did C-ish work if I had to grade it. I thought the messages of the plays were clear, the actors for the most part knew who they were talking to. I also really enjoyed watching some of Kelsey's work and I started ranking the plays we heard today.

So today we worked on the readings again. I'm enjoying directing and I want to keep working and have more time to create a story and work on characters with everyone. I'm really excited for assistant directing. I'm starting to notice character wants and needs and I think I'm doing fairly well with communicating those with actors.
Also today I went home and looked up some open houses for college. I don't know how to feel about those. Like I will be going to college in a year and a half.... I'm so not ready for this. But I'm gonna try my best to stay positive from this point on about college.

Today I re worked some plays. I worked on Brittany's play, as well as John's which I feel is working out well, especially because the play itself is fairly open. Like not much happens that makes it clear for the actors and the director. So in happy with that. I also got to work on Kelsey's play which is a lot of fun. It's like the only comedy I was given, and it has some blocking points so I got to work with that and I worked a lot with my actors on their stakes and situation to try to make the play sound less like a petty teenage drama and more interesting.
