2/28

     Today we rehearsed our scene in front of the entire class and our professor.  I was definitely nervous.  My partner and I haven't had too much time practicing our actions, we've been focusing mainly on our lines.  I think it ended up going pretty well.  The beginning where we have to have sex was a little awkward/funny and everyone was laughing.  We had only rehearsed that scene once and that was this morning.  We kinda put that scene off because we didn't know each other very well so I think neither of us really wanted to bring it up.  But I think with a little more work it will go off pretty smoothly.  To be honest I'm still a little confused as to what I (Frankie) am thinking and wanting from Johnny in this scene.  To me it seems like I just wanted sex out of him, that I'm still a little hostile toward him, and that I'm ready for him to leave and for me to go back to living my life.  Because this is what I THINK I'm feeling in this scene I act really sarcastically toward Johnny and try to put him off.  I'm thinking that I'm on the right track because after watching the other scenes go I can tell that I get more and more comfortable with Johnny and start giving into him as the play progresses.  I really like mine and Alex's parts.  I think that this scene is actually a lot like me in that I probably would have acted the same way Frankie does if a guy acted like that towards me.
     I think that the other Frankie and Johnnys did a really good job with their scenes.  It was very telling of the play, with some cute parts, some funny parts.  I also think that it seemed as though every other partnership had a lot of chemistry.  Getting together outside of class definitely helps with that and I can tell from people's blogs that each team has been spending a lot of time together.  I think that I've been very busy lately but I'm definitely going to make more time to meet up with Alex so that we can build a stronger relationship.  We're even trying to go see one of the plays showing this week.  I really like Alex and I think we get along very well and our personalities mash up well, we just haven't had as much face to face time.  But I'm looking forward to more of it!
