This week, we haven't done any practical work in our class which I was pretty uspet about, since I always want to get up and start acting and "do" something physically. I know it must sound really annoying what I keep repeating, but after all, I am reflecting! Anyways, we worked on our Design Project, which personally I think we could have done at home and instead have started with the play from Brecht we will be starting after the holidays.

 Tuesday and Wednesday we wokred on our Design Project. Literally, we just sat there and did research which I absolutly hate doing in class. I normally use that time at home and when I'm in school I just expect "doing" something, like physically or something, not just sitting and working on your own. I also find it dead boring, just sitting there behind your laptop just resaerching stuff. Nothing happens! And everyone looks so sad and bored out, I absolutly hate that atmosphere, I can't stand it, which tends often to distract me and I just can't do my work properly. I have done the work, of course, but I did most of it at home.

Friday, we all saw Grace and Alexa's TPPP's. It. was. amazing!! I absolutly loved sitting there and listen carefully what the Year 13's had done for 2 years in Theatre. It was super interesting and I can learn awfully a lot from it when I will be doing mine next year. Grace had a lot of pictures and mentionned my work a lot in her presentation, which I was very pleased with. I of course had enjoyed doing a course with them two and I knew that she was going to mention it and talk about it. However, I had no idea how much "impact" it had on their course and how important it was, since I'm a year of Theatre behind them. Grace mentionned several points how it had affected blabla bla and blalbla bla, whch I actually wouldn't have thought saying if I would done it instead of her. Personally, I thought Grace's was more intersting and had more information about her 2 years of Theatre. She described it to us very clearly and it wasn't difficult to understand at all. They were super nervous of course, I have no idea what they're going through but they shared their stress with me. While I was sat down in the room with the other year 12's and I saw Grace testing her voice, going through her notes, "breathing"... I could see my self in that exactly position next year, and I suddenly got super scared. I have no idea how that happened, but I realized how much work and how much effort I would have to put in, even more than what I am currently doing.
I thought Alexa's presentation was interesting as well, although she did not have as much information and details as Grace, which is the main secret to get a 7. I think. That's what everyone keeps telling me that have been doing Theatre. Alexa unfortunately didn't keep my attention all way through, at some points I got lost and when I "came back" I had no idea what she was talking about and I couldn't understand a thing. Also, she was reading (I can't believe she actually did this, she'll get so many points off!) which got boring at one point. Just like Grace, she should have looked up to us a little more often and talk , have a presentation to the audience, not just reading out loud.

Overall, I thought it was really interesting seeing their TPPP's and I really loved it.
