I'm a midnight toker

Both Days:
JUMBO - 30 minutes
I'm now up to three scenes and twenty-something pages... Cool. I think some of the cursing may be frivolous, but I'm just gonna worry about that when I go back to write a second draft.

Wednesday:
Grade: 100
Helped Matt finish hanging lights for dance show... Nothing too exciting about that.

Thursday:
Grade: 100
Read Speech & Debate in class... Pretty awesome. Signed myself on as an assistant director.

Beep Beep,

What's wrong?

Writing: 30 minutes
Worked on JUMBO for a bit and also started throwing shit against the wall for my one-man play. I have a subject and a title (of course, leave it to me to think of the title first.)

Grade: 100
STICK RIVER'S CLOSING PERFORMANCE OH BOY SUPER FUN AWESOME DAY.
Struck for the dancers, started hanging lights... I seem to be caught in a cycle.

You know what,
You know who

Load up on guns, bring your friends

Grade: 100, NHS rehearsal + college discussion.

Tuesday:
Grade: 100, worked on play during classtime in CAD.
Stayed after to tech NHS ceremony.

Wednesday:
Writing: 30 minutes - JUMBO
JUMBO is a new play that I started working on... Three male characters, 22 fucks in 16 pages... Sounds a lot like David Mamet. Probably going to end up being my second two-act play.

Grade: 100
We had a history lesson today on Commedia Del 'Arte... I love history. Took notes and worked on Commedia outline.

Is Great

He's cool for cats

Grade: 100
I hung lights in class today and took charge of the whole class, pretty much. Kept people working, got some stuff accomplished. Not much else to say... I don't think I'm cut out for light design.

SOC: 20 minutes
Switching the format over to writing. Did a 20 minute SOC today. Topics covered included Smart Chips, swine flu and jalapenos. Nothing short of amazing.

Play: 20 minutes - Millard Fillmore
I started writing a play about Millard Fillmore attending a wedding... Uh... Yeah, that works for me. I think the idea is really funny, actually, and I might want to finish it. I'm not sure yet.

SAT Prep: 30 minutes

Grade: 100
Did Meisner today and had a really, really great moment with Katelin. It still hurts.

Always,
Baker

Oh, Sandford.

Movement: 30 minutes
Went for a Wii Fit run today in the beautiful air conditioned house. Waaaay too hot for an outdoor run. Besides that, I did some yoga and I did a push-up challenge in the game where the goal is to do more push-ups than your trainer... Frickin' computer did 40 push-ups. I did 41. My arms still hurt...

Voice: 20 minutes
I did my warmups and the such and was helping my sister record some music for a project at school, so I was singing as well.

SAT Study: 1 hour
The math section is so much easier than it seemed on the PSAT.

Grade: 100
Meisner! I was one of the example children today... Also participated in the framing discussion. It was very interesting. I'm excited for the film project.

Always in the loving spirit,
Daniel Baker

And I know...

Movement: 20 minutes
No Wii Fit, just stretching and running on my own. It was so nice outside today.

Voice: 20 minutes
My usual warm-ups. Did a little songwriting as well, so I sang.

SAT Study: 1 hr
I decided that, if it's acceptable, that instead of reading aloud every day, I'm going to take part of my journal time to study for the SATs. Today, I did an entire chapter of Mathematics... I'm starting from the beginning and going to the end, so today was easy... Just brushed up on some properties, did some practice problems. Can't wait for the hard part.

Can't hardly wait,
Daniel Baker
