Reflection

Sorry for the late post, my internet has been down and unreliable for the last month or so.

5th October

Rehersals are comming along for our end of year exam. It's scary how close it is, I'm really worried that a few of us won't pull through.

I have Meg perfect, more then perfect. Getting to do it at the show case was a wonderful opotunity and got me ready for it well in advance. Mockingjay is comming along well and hopefully should be perfectly polished in the next few days.

Bazzar and Rummage though is another story. It's so difficult to get my tounge around the accent and I'm having real trouble with it. I'm sitting with our teacher for lunch times and free periods just practising my lines with the acctent to try and get it right.

It is so fustrating to not be able to do something right, to not be able to do something that you know that you should be able to, but I guess there is only one way to learn and it is to practise, practise, practise and then practise some more.

23rd October

On the 21st of October we had our practical exam for Drama, and it was terrifying! I was sitting back stage making sure that I wasn't making a sound and there was Amy-lee running around whispering loudly along with Duncan and I wanted to slap them or something and tell them to shut up and stop making noise. It was painful just to hear.

When it was my turn to do my monologe, I was nerve wracked, it was terrifying and I was scared out of my wits and I didn't know what was going on. It was more scary that we didn't know exactally what they wanted to see.

Half way through my prose a whole heap of phleme build up in the back of my throat and I really needed to cough but I knew I wasn't aloud to and I kind of spadfaded (where your voice goes all funny) which had me kicking myself because I didn't want to do anything wrong.

Our group play way alright, though Amy-lee didn't exactly pull her weight. She was the only non-pre teriary in our group and she had a script on stage which was very irritating and what is even more irritating is that I shouldn't have to be trying to give her prompts on stage when she has a script in front of her!

If I could do it again, I think that I would definatly insist that we have groups that are made up of only pre terciary students because even though I don't want to be harsh to Amy-lee, her lack of commitment due to it not being as critical for her was a bit of a drag and her having a script on stage threw me off a bit.

All in All I think I didn't go too badly and I hope that I got a good mark, but now the waiting game is almost as tantilising.

5th November

There isn't really alot to talk about any more, we have finished our classes for the year and now it is study time! I'm waiting on some last minute study notes off my teacher but then I will be all ready to go for my written exam.

My exam is on the 19th of November and it seems like a long way away from where I am now since I have finished exams for my other subjects but I'm sure that it is goig to creep up on me very fast so the practiseing of writing reviews are already under way.
