Group blog: we're getting the band back together!

For this next project, we decided to keep our same group from the commercial, with the exception of one additional member. At the beginning of our commercial journey, we anticipated having Kyra in our group along with Hailey and Alessandra. However, since she was also occupied with the intensity of mock trial, the team decided on an alternative that was less stressful on her behalf. This time around, however, I am glad that she is going to collaborate with us on this project. Our original group worked very well together on the commercial; our team dynamic was very efficient and productive. Since I am accustomed to working independently on academic matters, there are times when I find it challenging to collaborate with others on projects. I prefer to remain in responsibility and don't particularly like depending on other people. On the other hand, I've known the members of my group for a long . Knowing their work ethic, I feel confident in their ability to be effect...

Production blog: recap of today

Image
 So, to recap from yesterday, the plan was to meet today during study hall to sort out our plans for editing. Needless to say, this turned out more difficult than we hoped. Since we all have different study hall periods, it was hard trying to group together. As of now, most of the teachers are hesitant about letting students in who do not belong to that class. This proved to be challenging, and instead we decided on communicating through text to plan out editing from our own study halls. This proved to be helpful, since for the past couple of days, I've been really busy trying to tackle school and dance. There is also the fact that midterms begin next week, which has me a bit stressed out and distracted from this project. With the load from school getting heavier and the demands from dance practice increasing, its been exhausting trying to keep up. However, I am grateful to have this team full of hard workers and people who plan ahead of time. I am the type of person who generally ...

Some Things Never Change

Image
Although it has only been a day, some things never change. I finally got home after a long day of competing. From my last blog, I gave an update that I was competing at the national qualifier tournament. I ended up breaking to finals! It was a very thrilling moment as I worked very hard to be where I was. At the awards ceremony, I was sitting very anxiously as they announced the results, and ultimately the top three qualifiers for nationals. Although I did not make top 3, I did achieve fifth place. Achieving fifth means that I am instead the second alternate. So, if two people from the top three were to not make it to nationals, their spot would be replaced with me. Alternatively, if one person from the top three cannot make it, and the first alternate cannot either, then I could take over. I was slightly disappointed that I did not qualify, I am not going to lie. However, this was my first year competing in Original Oratory, so I am grateful for all of the success I have had leading u...
