100 for today. Did the translation and examples for the scansion. Did the page of syllables. Helped other people with their elisions and such. And such and such and such.
Aaaand of course the refresher course in scansion slowed me down a bit for Hamlet. But I got through the ghost scene. I'm definitely rereading that again tomorrow. That damnable monologue is tough. And, ya know, massive. My guess is I'll be back in full swing with Shakespeare by Thursday. Any bets?

Maybe this is why I can't sleep
Almost forgot to do the writing part :P
100 for today. Brought in my webcam to try vid-chat, though we did end up using Casey's laptop. Wrote down everything we need to do this quarter. Discussed with other juniors about the showcase. Promptly shat my pants.
Okay, so return to Hamlet. Really, return to Shakespeare. It'll probably take me a few nights to get back into the swing of the language. Just need to remind myself how it feels
So, refresher on setting for Hamlet: Hamlet Sr. is dead, Fortinbras is also dead, so lots of political tension. Gertrude and Claudius are now married, very shortly after King Hamlet's death. Hamlet is unhappy. Marcellus, Bernardo, Francisco, and Horatio see the ghost of King Hamlet, freak out, and resolve to go tell Hamlet. Ophelia and Hamlet have a sort of a thing, and Laertes disapproves. Laertes plans on going to France. And so on.
Ah, Bill. How I have missed thee.

What? N3RD is over???
So, I suppose I'd better do this, if not to have an effect on my grade, then to get back in the habit.
100 for today for beginning the arduous trek of a post-mortem. And for teaching the newbies what one is.
So I had Philo today. It was nice to be back knowing that I will be at all rehearsals until the performance. I've established that I don't really enjoy *singing* Arvo Part, but I like the music enough to suffer through it for the final product. Faure is a tad difficult. Fosse is just odd. I think I like the Faure the best. But what can you do. Aladren, I hope you're well enough to come see my concert. But by no means strain yourself to come. That would be worse than not coming. I don't think it's polite to give birth at concerts.
Here's hoping you've still got some semblance of a sense of humor.
