There did happen to be Shakespeare class on Thursday. Our mentor, Mrs. Ward, gave us several sheets of famous quotes from Richard III, the play we were studying. I teamed up with my friend Burgundy, and together we made up a scene using one of those lines each.

Burgandy, by herself on stage: "So wise, so young, they say, do never live long." Then on I rushed, and said, "The sons of Edward sleep in Abraham's bosom!" (they died). Then we both burst out in sighs and weeping. Fun, fun:-)

We also watched a little bit of my favorite version of "Midsummer Night's Dream"; that was great to see, too, and even the first part was funny to watch:-)

Hey! Monday night was our Shakespeare class's Scenes and Soliloquies night. Everyone met at a family's farm, and we all did different scenes, monologues, and sonnets. I did a Juliet monologue with my sister, Alexandrea. Other varying scenes/monologues. were from Midsummer Night's Dream, The Taming of the Shrew, and Richard III. It was a wonderful night and everyone did fantastic jobs:-)

There will be no class this Thursday; so sad! And there will not be a class next week- Thanksgiving break-yippee!

Hi everyone! Well, I decided to finally create my new blog... and am I ever excited. I attend an awesome Shakespeare class, and we do real plays of the real thing. We learn the history behind the play, and learn the language. Last year we discussed King Lear (pics coming soon). I was the oldest daughter, Goneril, in that, and the way my director taught me is what made me want to go back- again and again and again...

I'll be editing the blog often, so check back in!
