Monday to Tuesday- Wrote an entirely new beginning and ending for Anti-Bully Eli. We added a little sister for Eli, Jamie, who will be played by Niola. In the beginning of the screenplay, we find out that Eli's little sister goes to therapy and group support for emotional issues in the past, and Eli's attitude toward this is slightly rude. He feels that people shouldn't make themselves "Targets", foreshadowing why he doesn't see him bullying as being his fault. Everything is the same up until Gretchen runs away crying. He sits down with his friends at their lunch table, acting if it wasn't a big deal. He goes to pick up his sister from support group, finding out that Gretchen also goes, and that she used to self harm. Jamie calls Gretchen "kind of her hero" because instead of relapsing into self harm, she came to the support group and talked about what had happened to her in school that day. She didn't name any names, so Jamie doesn't know this was Eli. Jamie sees his Anti-Bully shirt, and questions it, saying that it is very out of character for him and that "he's a douche". All of this makes him question what had happened that day.
Wednesday- Attended the Board Meeting.
Thursday- Finished reading Tartuffe, so I would have a clear idea of what was going on at the Rutgers Newark/NJIT production Friday.
Friday- Saw Tartuffe at Rutgers Newark/NJIT
