Our schedule is changed for the week since the seniors have things to do. So now we will have showcase days today and tomorrow. Today, I worked with Ashley and Christa on Nightswim for the first half. We finally got the final 2 pages of our play today! And I found out I have a pretty long monologue I have to memorize asap! I'm not doubting that I won't be able to do this, but I know it will take a lot of effort which I will put in. I worked with Scarlett and Imani on Shes Fabulous during the second half, and we ran through the show a few times. Scarlett says we are making great progress, but she told me that I am not making my hits clear enough. That is also something I will be working on.

Today, while Brett and I stayed after school to film our science project. My plans to get the 2 teasers done fell through, because Imani couldn't be at our shoot early enough to film it, and I also realized that we have not been directed more than a few times, so the acting in the teaser would have been really bad. I was also planning on re-filming the dmv shoot, but it was also the same case with that. Since I will need something to edit whenever we do minors this week, I will just film the parts that I need Brett in, and edit accordingly.

Today, we worked on Freshman showcase blocking. Today was the first day that scheduling was normal, so I had equal time working on each play. For the first half of class, I worked on "Nightswim". Ashley, Christa, and I went to the black box to work on blocking for the first time. I will be sitting by my tent for most of the play, except for toward the end, when I sit by the fire pit with Christa. I think that my acting is coming along well, I just need to make sure I have each line memorized word by word. For the most part I was off book, but I did have a few lines toward the end and a small monologue that wasn't completely there yet. After I worked on "Nightswim", Scarlett, Imani, and I went to a classroom to work on "She's Fabulous." Imani and I will be sitting in theater seats the whole time, since the play takes place during intermission of a play. The both of us aren't completely off book yet, since we just got the play a few days ago, but by Monday I have promised myself that I will be completely off book with both of my plays. It's very ironic that Scarlett casted Imani and I in this play, because the characters are basically exaggerated versions of Imani and I when we are in competition mode with each other. Scarlett says the play is coming along well and I do think that could be why.

On Monday, Brett and I are staying after to film our science project. While we stay after, I am planning on filming 2 teasers for our showcase. I have to re-film the DMV teaser because the show was re-casted. I will film in the same way as I did before, only Brett will be in it instead of Christa. I will also film the video for the play Imani and I are in called "She's Fabulous." For this viral, Imani and I will be sitting in the theater seats in the auditorium, performing a small excerpt from the show. Hopefully, Scarlett will be there to be in Brett and I's project, so she can film it for me because I have to be in it.

On 4/25/12, I did table work for the two plays that I am in for Freshman Showcase, which are called "Nightswim" and "She's Fabulous." For the first half of class, I worked on "She's Fabulous" with Scarlett for the first time. We worked on given circumstances for a while. I figured out my obstacles, objectives, tactics, ectc. for each page of the script. Imani and I also read through the script together one time. After I worked with Scarlett, I worked with Ashley on "Nightswim". We had to re-work the beats that we had previously worked on, because Ashley realized that they were wrong.

Since I realized that we never received our plays for the 4th marking level, We don't have anything to journal about. So from now on, I will use my journal to record what I have been doing on my own to work on freshman showcase. On Monday, I filmed my footage for the DMV play teaser. I got everything done, however, The part of "DMV lady" has been re-casted. Now I have to re-film that viral, plus a viral for one of the other plays. I have brought it upon myself to film/edit a viral every week. It is almost a good thing that I didn't get to edit that viral on Tuesday, because I would have been wasting my time anyway.

Today we had our very first nutrition class, which was surprisingly very interesting to me. I learned a lot of things that I didn't know before, and it really opened my eyes and made me think about my eating habits. My problem is that I eat pretty healthy, but I have very bad portion control. Even a lot of a good thing isn't good for you. Today we learned that the three ways to eat healthy are to eat, not eat too much, and eat mostly plants. Most things in a box are not good for you at all, and if it has more than 5 ingredients and they are things that you can't pronounce, odds are its bad for you. One thing I did realize today is that most of us don't even know what we are eating. None of us could even define the basic nutrience that we consume daily such as fiber, carbohydrates, ectc.
**Also another thing, I found out that I am now casted in Scarlett's play for freshman showcase, and I feel really annoying for asking this again, and if it's going to be a problem it is totally fine, but is there any way I can switch my major back to acting? Again I feel bad about changing my mind again, but the reason I switched my major from the beginning was because I thought that film would be more time consuming and since I was only in one play that wouldn't take much time, but know that I am in two again I think it would be better to switch but I wouldn't want to put anyone through changes again**
