papers

I am almost finished writing the papers that go along with the final exam skit. I am realizing that writing these papers are really helping me. The skit is developing a meaning and the lines are really beginning to make a story. It was fun to make things up about my character in the biography. I was thinking of things that would have happened in the past that contribute to why the scene is occurring now. I am excited to see everyone perform their skits on Tuesday with all of their props and everything!

Skits

Well II think our skit is coming along better than it was at the beginning. I like the storyline that we have chosen to go with because it makes for an iteresting skit and isn't as dry as what we had before. I can see now that since everyone has gone atleast once that everybodies skits our coming together niceley. I think it will be fun to watch everyone go when they have all of the props that they are going to use. Overall I thought that this class has taught me a lot about acting that I really never knew before.
It's the last day of class, which is too bad I think. Aaron and my skit is finally shaping up, and we are pretty pleased with that. It has been a decent semester, and it has been fun to observe how we all have improved since we were so much more awkward on the first few class days. It has been easier to wake up for this class than biology.

Last Day

Tuesday, Ryan and I got to do our skit for the last time before we actually get to go. I think that we are doing extremely well and now I just need to write the papers and get this sketch done. I can see a huge change in the first time we went along with others.
Wow. Today is the last day of class. Unlike other classes, this one flew by. Probably because we had so much fun. This class made me realize how difficult acting is. But it has also taught me how to act better. Though I don't plan on auditioning for plays anytime soon, I do plan on using my newly learned skills when clowning around with my friends. My one friend is really good at making people believe things and I think I may be able to keep up with him. So overall, I enjoyed this class. At first, I didn't think I would like when I found out it wasn't a straight-up improv class like "Whose Line," but it was fun and I had a good time.
Today is the last day of class its crazy. Overall i really think this class has been helpful. Even though I wont use the information within my profession it still had many positive aspects I could use. For example one thing is being comfortable in front of my classmates. I have always been kind of a shy one and has never really liked doing things in front of the class but this class has helped me a lot. Also I'm really excited to see every ones end result for their finals. After watching the couple groups go on Tuesday I was amazed how far they have come since day one working on these.
Tomorrow is our last day of clas...I can't believe it! Hallie and I will work on our skit again and I'm pretty excited because it needs a lot of work and there are lots of things with it that I'm not sure of so hopefully we can get some questions answered. Even though I haven't done a whole lot in the past few classes because we all have been watching other groups practice, I'm still getting a lot out of class and it's very helpful to hear the hints that the other students are given.
