Day nine...emotional

 Today was stressful, sad and excited at the same point. I woke up this morning and showered. After that I walked over to the library to work on my concentration paper with Valerie. Then around 11:30am I walked over to grab and go with Hailey, then we sat on the turf and enjoyed our sun butter and fluff sandwiches and enjoyed the sun! After that I went back to the dorm and relaxed a bit before cleaning and getting ready to head over to the theatre to get glammed for opening night! This was when the emotions hit. I cannot believe its been four years and I have spent all of it in the theatre with some of my favorite people. I have grown a lot personally, becoming a more confident actor, dancer and general person. Will never be able to express my gratitude for everyone in the theatre. Seeing the Proctors post about the 2021 bricks only made the bittersweet realization bigger. I began to cry and was immediately comforted by Helen, Calvin and Libby. I am for sure going to cherish these next three nights of performing on the Proctor stage for one last hooray! After the AMAZING show I came back to my dorm and finished up a few edits from my dad on my paper and at 11pm I TURNED MY PAPER IN...feeling incredibly accomplished and relieved.

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 corrections, r

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 around 3
