Last Tuesday the class watched a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream -- specifically the portion of the play within the play. It was very amusing to watch the talented actors looking as if they couldn't. I'm hoping to see the whole performance on tape some time over the summer. Today, the two groups in English class video-taped the same scenes we watched two days before. I was the moon and although I knew my cue, "Proceed Moon" I didn't hear it -- maybe because of all the sound, distractions, and what not -- and so there was some mix up there. Both groups did a good job, considering how it was put together within a short period of time.
I turned in my Magnum Opus today. I'm a little unsure about whether or not I like the ending to my paper. I think if I come up with something better to bring it all to a close I'll change it before I give in the Mac format for publication. There are subtle metaphors to the descriptions I wrote in my Magnum Opus and I'm hoping you catch them. I tried to take an approach where I wouldn't be confined to just telling the straight truth. It's non-fiction, yet at the same time some portions are non-fiction. Hopefully you won't be able to tell the difference between the two within my paper.
I volunteered to help the Production team depending on how my finals exam and study schedule turns out. It's hard to make any committments as of now since I have group presentations for my Ewrit 2 class that were already having trouble finding the time to film for, a Chem midterm Monday followed by a Chem final Wednesday. Then my math final the same day as my Chem final. Thursday would seemingly be a great day to work on the production, but I think that'd be too late in the quarter. While working on the newspaper in high school we used Adobe Pagemaker, but we always had the standard size papers and pre-made layouts (11X17) to work from and alter from there. I'm not sure if I remember too much of it. But first, I need to get mine into Mac format but since I can't meet during the assigned hours 1-3pm Monday, I'll have to go in sometime that evening or maybe even Tuesday morning? I'd rather do it myself and make sure everything is the way I want it to be instead of handing the work over to someone else.
I wish I could go with the two groups from class that are going to see the Arcadia (Tom Stoppard) performance today and tomorrow. I've read Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern which I really enjoyed, so I'm sure Arcadia will be just as good. Instead, I'm going to read the online text version here so I don't miss out on anything -- especially for the final.
I can't believe I have a "midterm" tomorrow and then another "midterm" on Monday (the Monday one being two days before the actual class "final." I'm looking forward to seeing the reactions from the Arcadia performances, so please post! : )
