Performance Process

        I had gone threw 3 words before I finally decided on the word drink.  The first thing I thought of doing for this was drinking a whole bottle of something at one time.  I was thinking of things to drink that were between not to much so I couldn't finish them and not enough because it would be easy.  That is when I thought of Gatorade.  I knew I could do the large sized bottle because it was just the right amount.  I practiced drinking one and I did it in 35 seconds.  So then I had the idea to try and get the people to say drink before I started and then drink it and just walk off the stage.

Uncomfortable Video Process

          I was thinking of what to do the whole weekend before this was due and I couldn't think of anything.  The day before it was due my nose was stop up from allergies and that is when I decided to blow my nose with my finger.  It was amazing how I was worried about it all weekend then the idea just came to me all of a sudden.

Monologue Process

         I had no idea what to talk about for my monologue.  So I decided to talk about what I know the most about, and that is collecting Hot Wheels.  There wasn't much I could do without bringing some of my cars in but couldn't do that because all my cars to show all the types I talked about are at my house in Kansas.  Since I couldn't bring any in I decide to just talk about them.
