Day seven!

 Today I was a bit lazy the Monday feels were real. I woke up and looked over my paper one more time before sending it along to my father. Then I responded to Ellie about when I will be presenting to Identity Literature. Which we establish I present Friday during G block! So excited to finally share what I have been working on all year. After that I worked on my slide show a bit and created index cards for each slide to make sure there was not too much writing on my slides. Then around 11:45 I walked over to the art studio to meet Alex, Cam, and Hannah for lunch...we ended up having to wait until second because we were a bit late. After lunch, I worked on create an idea for a podcast preview to give my presentation something a bit more. I watched many pro-tip videos on creating a podcast preview. At 4:30 I had the beginning of a long rehearsal. Luckily we got pizza and soda. Then at 5pm it was time to get microphones and costumes on, along with hair done. We had warm ups at 6pm then as usual during tech week or should I say “hell week” we ran into some technical difficulties. At 6:30 we started the show and finished at 8:45pm. Then Jen gave a quick appreciation speech which was so sweet! Love Jen! Finally after what felt like forever I took my costume off and headed back to my dorm crashing into my yogibo at 9:07pm. What a day.

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...
