The play is officially OVER! I am excited but at the same time I don’t want it to be over. Doing this play was a really great experience for me. It got me out there a little more. I overcame my shyness a little more. I hate talking in front of people my face turns all red and my voice gets quiet. I don’t think I will ever get over my shyness, I don’t even know how I did the play. I just got up and did it. It took a lot of courage. And when I see everyone I don’t know what to say anymore. My heart beats so fast and no words come out of my mouth. I don’t know why I just have always been to shy. I guess I care too much of what people think, but I shouldn’t. This experience has helped me a lot with my whole situation. I had a great time getting to know everyone in the class because I never would have talked to them before. I loved getting to know all the directors they were really friendly and fun to work with. I had a great experience but I will never again be in a play or talk in front of an audience. I don’t want to go through that again. We gave a really great performance. Even though some people forgot their lines here and there the audience seemed to be really into it and at the end they all clapped so I’m guessing they enjoyed it. You could just tell they were interested in it , like they were hanging by our every word to see what happened next. Thank everyone for dealing with my shyness. I know it was a pain at times. I know everyone got a laugh out of my voice. I sound like I’m five years old, I know. In the future if I ever decided to speak in front of an audience again or do a play, I don’t think it will be easier, but I’ll never know, whatever happens in the future happens. Well that’s all I have to say.

Today we are down in the back caf we’re all doing our parts. We’re getting ready for an interview, we are all thinking of questions to ask. Right now we only have a few. For example what has Caesar done for Rome, or how does Casca (who I’m playing) feel about the soothsayer saying Caesar will die on March 15. We were supposed to go downtown to film the killing of Caesar today but we’re not going anymore because its way to cold. But we did practice in the back caf, it actually wasn’t that bad. I stab him first. I have to go over my lines again in that scene because I’m not really that familiar with them yet. I have 3 parts in this play Marallus, Casca, and Plebian 3. In my Casca part I have to yell very often. I am not familiar with yelling because I have a little voice and I am very shy. But in this play I had to overcome my shyness and just do it. When we practice I just hate it. Of course they had to give me the yelling part. I’m the one that has to tell everyone to shut up. I have to quiet the crowd down so people can speak. Also sometimes we do exercises for warm ups that I really don’t like. For example one day we had to sit down in front of the whole class and have a conversation with ourselves. Everyone went up there and had like a whole conversation, I said two words. I feel really shy doing them. I do not like getting up in front of people and talking. It’s really embarrassing to me. This class is like a whole new world to me. I’m not used to speaking loudly or anything like that. The teachers are helping me very well with this whole speaking thing and trying to make it comfortable to me.
