Grade: 100

Yay for not having to do a full journal the days we stay after. Funny, I was at school for twelve hours and I'm only getting tired now, after I've been home for three. I usually pass out on my couch when I get home on tech days. It's an oddity.

My grade is a 100 today because I'm finally getting the hang of the IPA, I think I chose a good monologue (which I'm already doing analysis of) and because of all the work I did while staying after. I smell like the catwalk. It's pretty gross. But a heartwarming kind of gross.

It's good to be back.

Love Always,
Daniel Baker

This is a silly play. Shakespeare was such a rascal. Hehe. Rascal. I'm really glad that I've gained a better understanding of his work. I feel enlightened, like I've discovered some big secret that everybody's been keeping from me all of my life.

Today we didn't do much because of the half day. We took headshots, did our yearly goals, etc. etc. I don't remember how my headshot came out. Whatever. I deserve a 100 today because I finished everything I had to do.

I really like post-it notes.

Love Always,

Reading Out Loud: The Taming of the Shrew - 30 minutes
Grade: 100

So, I didn't make it to the library this weekend. But, turns out that I had a copy of Taming of the Shrew lying around. That's pretty sweet. I still really want to read Comedy of Errors though. I don't even know what it's about. I just like things with eye catching titles. And for some reason, that title appeals to me.

Today I deserve a 100 because I crawled around on the floor and got one of my favorite shirts dirty for those drawings on the drop. It's looking so vicious so far. I love it. Sandman is going to be really interesting.

I need to get my portfolio stuff together... Aaaaah.

Love Always,

Grade: 100

I believe today was a good day. I don't remember.

I deserve a 100 because my people and I cleaned up the wing very well and I think I did a good job leading them. There was such a difference between the cluttered mess and the final product that we got. I was actually quite proud of that. The paint cabinet, however, is an entirely separate matter to be dealt with at an entirely separate time.

That's all she wrote. See you next week, folks!

Goin' to the library this weekend. Yay. Not in the mood to be witty today... I'll keep this short.

Today I deserve a 100 for my table work contributions for Dvorak's drunk driving thing. Put my two cents in a lot, sometimes it helped us with the script. I get to play a Latino, somehow. Interesting... Today's acting widget was pretty easy though. God damned facial tension. I feel it shall forever haunt me. Oh well, at least that's the only place I've got problems.

Short journal entry. Sorry.

Love Always,

Rope burn makes typing a very ambitious endeavor. I've got Seasame Street and Barbie band-aids though! That's life, for you. Get burned? Here, have a pretty band-aid. If only Elmo and Barbie's dream van could patch all wounds.

So as I sit here and eat my chicken panini, I must wonder what kind of heavenly occurrence it was to have writing and tech on the same day. My two favorite aspects of theatre (with acting at a close third) mashed into one super happy funtime. According to FireFox's spellcheck feature, funtime is an actual word... Cool!

I feel silly today.

I deserve a 100 because I did one hella awesome analysis of Cinderella with Katelin, Matt and Monica. I also led the youngins in taking down the cyc... Maybe I didn't think things through as clearly as I should've (yay rope burn!) but I think I did a fine job. I must make my parents proud. In fact, I know I do. When I got home, the first thing my father said to me was "what the hell is with the band-aids?" and I smiled and said "I got rope burn working to make you proud, dad!"

Actually, I'm lying that didn't happen.

Love Always,

I need a new play. I'm gonna go to the library and look at some other Shakespeare stuff. I dunno why, but I'm really interested in Comedy of Errors right now, so I'm going to check that out. I definitely want to read his more obscure works first... So for now I want to avoid Hamlet, Macbeth and whatnot. I'll definitely read them, but I want to read the less popular ones first.

In other news, I've got a stomach ache.

Today I deserve a 100 because I think my Globe Theatre model was awesome. I also participated in the history discussion a lot. Then again, I always do that. You know, a stranger reading this might think I have self-esteem issues, since I always shut down compliments to myself... But I really don't. I think my self-esteem is rather high. Anyway, my stomach hurts. Did I say that already?

Love Always,
Daniel Baker
