Day 12 (The Play)

My day started off with me typing up questions for the interview that I had at 9:00 AM. I was really nervous and was hoping that I wasn’t going to mess anything up. Once we dropped everyone off in their designated place we headed back to NIA where we picked up all of our camera equipment. We got to the NASA center and we realized that we had no idea where this building was. We got out and asked at headquarters.
We got there at about 8:55 and started setting up all of our camera stuff. That’s when we realized that we didn’t bring the microphones with us. Jon ran to the car and they were not in there. We decided to do the interview anyways because we thought that the camera would have its own microphone. It turns out that it didn’t so we did a 30 minute interview with no audio on film. Once we got back and realized that we did it without sound we got really mad at ourselves at first and then decided to e-mail Mr. Bushnell and ask for another interview and explain what happened. He was very kind about it and said to be there at 9 AM on Monday.
Soon enough it was lunch and we were off. When we got back from lunch we didn’t have much to work on because the movie files that were sent to us by the producers did not work on the pinnacle software and we couldn’t make any clips from the interview. I started working on my progress report.
Jake Greg and Lara came back to NIA with us and we all worked on our research papers and progress reports but also had fun at the same time. Our research paper is done so I am finished with all my work for this week.
When we got back to the dorm I immediately got changed because we were going to go and see Taming of the Shrew at William and Mary. We had dinner and then left at 6 30 for the play. We went to the play and it was one of the best plays I have ever seen! The actors were amazing and I had never actually seen and/or read The Taming of the Shrew. I had only seen Kiss Me Kate which was nothing like the play at all. After the play it was already 11 o’clock and curfew was at 11 so we drove home. I fell asleep in the car but when I woke up in the car it was really really smoky outside because the wind had blown the Carolina fire smoke in our direction. It smelled really bad and I had a hard time falling asleep.
