Monday- started working on my study guide for finals. which also means reading some plays that I missed, like Angels in America. I read up to scene 3, my first impression is how fast everything seems to move. No one talks about a topic for more then a few lines, and in Roy and Joe's case, there is an entire 2+ pages before roughly 5 lines of dialogue about Roy asking Joe about Washington. Even what seems important is neatly hidden away into the text. And right now I'm curious to see how the Rabbi and religion will play into the play, right now you can see Christian and Jewish over tones
Tuesday- Made some corrections and notes on Alexis's thesis. You can see them on the google doc. This is also the link

You have to look back in revision history just to see some notes because I was on my phone at the time, but they are there!
Wednesday- read Marjorie's play that I will be working on over the summer and made some director notes and stuff (my printer is being annoying and I cant SCAN them, also you know its 11:42. I'm a senior I'm done lying. I forgot about journals, pictures of the work I did coming here tomorrow to prove I did something.) Right now my main concern is casting. Margie is using this as a role for herself which is all well and good, but I dont see her as the character she's writing for. But thats subject to change since the script is an early revision. Secondly, I dont understand what happens yet, its a lot of people yelling at each other over some girl's apparent death, hopefully this gets cleaned up in the next draft. Thirdly, its a play right now. Which means I get to translate this into a screen play to help the cinematographers. I think it would help visually clear up what is happening also the sequence of events could change just to make things more interesting. I would love to sit down with margie and work it together.
Thursday- stayed after school for a film meeting with Margie, Rowen, Ashley, and Hayley. Not sure if that counts as a journal but I think it should. I will forward the report to prove we accomplished some stuff.
Friday- more Angels in America reading.
Read up to Scene 5. Again with how quick topics can change. Joe talks to Harper for a few lines before the scene changes again to Prior and Louis, talking about something seemingly insignificant, his grandmother passes away (which should be significant!!!) to Prior having KS which means AIDS and he blows it off easily., then Louis even doesnt have the reaction I'd expect. Everyone seems so unfazed by their surroundings. Then Harper and Joe discuss them moving to Washington, and again, they talk for a line or two then out of no where, TOPIC CHANGE. Harper doesnt want to leave yet, whats funny is how quickly she decides. If you know you know, but its a split second after she decides to think about her decision.
