I know this was promised to come on Monday but I actually DO have an explanation (/excuse) this time. Okay so, we have to read Romeo and Juliet for English class. On Monday, we finished Act 1 (There are 5 acts in this play). Now she assigns us this mini-project. Basically, we're going to read the next 4 Acts aloud. Some people will get major or minor roles. Everyone EVENTUALLY has to get a major role. But that's not all DDDDD; . The people who are playing the major role, on top of reading the lines, have to create a media project. In 2 days. So, as usual, no one volunteers to go and so we do a random draw. And guess what? I WAS PICKED FOR ONE OF THE MAJOR ROLES. -FACE PALM- .
What was funny was that right before I got chosen, I thought that they were already done selecting and was all happy, but I guess not. -__________- . I OFFICIALLY HAVE THE WORST LUCK EVER. Anyways, so on Monday, I decide to interpret the scene that I am in. I'm Friar Laurence, btw. After doing that, I couldn't think of what to build or create for my media project. Oh and for the media project, she specifically said to illustrate a potential theme or characterization. So, I was pretty sure on creating something to represent Friar Laurence but what...? As you know, I lack creativity (WHY!?!?) and so I couldn't think of any potential items. I go on to do some other work and decide that I'll do it tomorrow (Tuesday).
Anyways, Tuesday comes and I remember: I have Badminton practice at lunch, a Badminton Game afterschool and I have to go out for dinner for my Mom's birthday. -sigh- At this point, I'm desperate for ideas because firstly, I estimated that my Badminton game would end at around 5:30pm, secondly, I had to leave to go to my Mom's workplace at 6:00pm and lastly, I thought that I would end up at home by 9 pm. Leaving me 3 hours, as I sleep at midnight, to do my project. I planned on making a poisonous flower, meaning I'll need to build, tape, construct and paint it. Let's just say, I WASN'T EVEN CLOSE TO MY ESTIMATED TIMES.
I came home after the badminton game at about a quarter after 4, as it was a home game. I started to work just shortly after until 6pm. At this point, I'll got my structures created but not all of them put together. I wanted to paint before I left so it could dry but sadly, that did not happen.
Also, I ended up at home after dinner at 10 pm -.- . This is because my parents recognized people at the restaurant that we were at and they kept talking and talking and talking -____- . Also, we tried to go to a gas station a little farther from our house to get some gas for our car because supposedly gas prices were to go up by 4 cents today, which doesn't seem like too much but apparently it is o.o . When we arrived, there was a LINE. People and what they go through to pay for gas: Money and Time. Smh.....
Anyways, so I ended up working until a quarter after 1 am. It wasn't too bad, 4- 5 hours? I was actually fairly content with my creation. So, Today I presented. I was proud of my tone and what-not for my lines but my presentation for my media project SUCKED. Because I spent soooo much time on creating the flower, I just wrote down some points that I wanted to include when I was explaining it on a cue card. So, I basically just read it and add some points that I remembered. I think compared to the 2 other people that also presented their media projects today, mine was ACTUALLY CREATED NICELY. Anyways, I think overall, I did well, considering that I went first ;P
I know I promised you guys a Badminton update on Monday but I think I'll be doing that sometime next week.....I dunno. I'm thinking that you guys may want the book reviews for Friday, which I'm trying to confirm as of now. Question: Why is it that whenever I promise you guys that I'll post a post on a certain day, it hardly ever happens? -________- Anyways, I have a book review post, a badminton post and possibly a rant + the Hunger Games review. Hahaa, some Hunger Games fans will be disappointed when they find out that I only read the first book and not all 3 :D I'm kind of late but, I'M WATCHING IT THIS WEEKEND!
Bloomed -> Blooming~

Dude, at least it's over with and you probably won't have to do another major role. Besides, you got Friar Laurence. I get the character who NEVER SHUTS UP. I know what I'm doing for the media project, but I stupidly haven't started, and you know how shaky I get in front of a group. Rawr.
ReplyDeleteBut anyway, I hope you had fun watching the Hunger Games :3
Good Luck with your presentation! Mine was horrible DD; since I pretty much read off my cue card and didn't practice AT ALL, which is what I usually do.
DeleteOh YEAH. THE HUNGER GAMES! It was REALLYY GOOD (: I would have preferred the camera to not be so close to their faces though >:( Overall, even if they did leave some scenes out, it was great to put character names from the book, to faces and written events into motion pictures :D
