Senior project day one

 Today was a bit stressful because I was just starting my senior project days so I was trying to develop a schedule / routine for the next two weeks. I woke up at 9am and drank some water. Then I grabbed my iPad and opened my concentration document and read my paper over to refresh my mind. My concentration is focusing on the Journey of a Refugee. During Senior Project I will be finalizing and putting everything I have done together that I have been collecting all year. This includes editing a series of interviews with Immigrants and writing a paper about the economic benefits immigrants have. Today I wrote about the jobs immigrants fill when they come into the United States, I also spoke with Heidi about my public demo and making a plan. Then to finish off the day I worked on my podcast.

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...
