Day 4...eventful

 Today was eventful and stressful. I woke up this morning and grabbed my iPad, then proceeded to procrastinate getting out of bed and decided to watch YouTube. Then I woke up and no surprise put different lounge attire on and got back into bed. After that I put my citations along with my annotations into my google doc with the rest of my paper. Then I reached over to my bedside table and grabbed my laptop, praying that it would turn on because it had crashed last night. UPDATE: It did not. Lovely way to start my Thursday morning the day before my podcast for my concentration is due. I began to panic so I jumped out of bed threw on my shoes, mask and ran out the door. I got to tech and Amie was not surprised to see me with my laptop, as the laptop has seen way better days and is continuously problematic. Off the bat Amie could tell the cords that connect my screen and keyboard were breaking. So for an hour we messed around with how to transfer my GarageBand file of my podcast from one computer to a loaner laptop. We did it finally with of course Ebbie’s help! Around 12:20pm I had a meeting with Ellie to discuss the feedback she gave me on the first draft of my podcast. I spent the afternoon editing the podcast and sent Ellie my hopefully final draft but luckily if not I have till 11:59pm tomorrow to finish. At 4pm I had musical rehearsal until 7:30 we ran through act one, everything is looking better and better. Then the best part of my day, Margaret was there with her mom Starr Fair, the day could not have ended better.

Weekly reflection

  This week started off and ended a bit stressful. Getting into the senior project grove was a little weird for me. I woke Monday morning feeling completely disoriented because I did not have to go to classes, which has just become a natural part of my day. Along with the fact that it was up to me to create a schedule and make sure my work gets done. Luckily I was able to create something that works everyday and will follow for the rest of the senior project. Now I know that I am going to wake up at 9 everyday and start working by 9:30-9:45 so I really make the most of my day. To some extent the freedom of working on my time during the day and not having a teacher there every second was weird and sometimes I missed class because being alone was not always fun.  Checking in with Ellie every other day was easy to plan and I felt each meeting was productive because I often had sent her a draft of my podcast the night before. During each meeting we made sure I understood her corre...

Paulina Shea Weekly reflection Sunday May 24th 2021 This week was crazy. Not only was I going to be finishing my concentration paper, public demo, and narrative reflection. I also had my last four performances on the Proctor stage. First I cannot help myself but talk about how much appreciation I realized I had for the Proctor theatre department this past week. I mean, I have always loved everyone involved, but sitting backstage during tech rehearsals and the real performances I realized how much I have grown. From the fall 2017 dance show to my senior show of Mamma mia. I have become more confident in letting myself go on stage and just dance my heart out. And although I still get a little nervous, the nerves are not nearly as strong as my freshman year. Infact last night I sat in the yellow staircase backstage with Libby and Karin with tears in my eyes explaining that I remember sitting in that same spot my freshman year crying because of my nerves, and last night I sat there crying ...

Day two! it was slow

 Today was slow...felt as though I was trudging through mud. I woke at 9:30 to my roommate leaving. Bye Cameron have fun painting! I finally got out of bed at 9:45 and changed into different loungewear...not surprising. I made my bed and picked up my room and then opened my laptop and went to GarageBand and began to listen to the first five minutes of my podcast I had done. After that I imported the second portion of the podcast I needed to edit. Before editing I always listen to what I have so I know what am working with and can plan in my head the organization of the next section. Around 11:17am I went to lunch with Alex, Cam and Zoie. Lunch was my favorite...hamburgers!!! After lunch I went to the art studio and finished editing the podcast, for a change of scenery which was much needed! I finished the podcast or a least editing the two interviews and began to write a script for my portion of the podcast. Around 1:30pm I took a break and played hay day with Calista and then arou...
