They bought it. Incredible! One of the worst performances of my career and they never doubted it for a second. How could I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this? This is my ninth sick day this semester. It's getting pretty tough coming up with new illnesses. If I go for ten, I'm probably gonna have to barf up a lung, so I'd better make this one count. The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom. A lot of people will tell you that a phony fever is a dead lock, but if you get a nervous mother, you could land in the doctor's office. That's worse than school. What you do is, you fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing, (confidentally) you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school.
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it. I do have a test today, that wasn't bull-s--t. It's on European socialism. I mean really, what's the point. I'm not European. I don't plan on being European, so who gives a crap if they're socialists.
They could be fascist anarchists and it still wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car. (Singing in shower) It's not that I condone fascism or any 'ism' for that matter. Ism's, in my opinion, are not good. A person should not believe in an 'ism,' he should believe in himself. I quote John Lesson: 'I don't believe in Beatles. I just believe in me.' A good point there.

In our recent acting class we had to make a silent movie. It was the most fun I've had while at school. I loved the idea that our group had and I really loved the idea of me playing the girl. I'm glad our group went with more of a comedy silent movie. I think our silent movie came out pretty well, but there is some room for improvements. The main thing was that we had fun. What we really need to work on was our timing, our facial expressions, and just play having fun with it and improvising. I believe the other groups silent movie was also very good. I thought it was clever with the plane idea. My favorite part was the throw up. If I had to say how I acted would be good. My part didn't really take much acting that is why I said my performance was good. I really just want to have fun with different characters. If I needed to work on something it would have to be my facial expressions. My whole part was plain and easy so there was nothing really too hard while playing this girl. The whole time it was fun. There was nothing to hard yet because we haven't had to say anything yet. From what I seen by playing in a silent movie and watching other people's silent movie is that there are a lot of good ideas and be open to all of them. Another thing I learned is that there is never a final agreement reached you can always improvise and maybe that will be put in the final prôject so don't be afraid to try things new.

Hello my name is Cade Roberts. I am originally from St. Peter's, Missouri. St.peters is a town just outside St. Louis. I'm sophomore at Cheshire Academy I'm 16 years old. I play Hockey and baseball. The reason I moved here was that my dad works for ESPN and was gonna move up here alone but he encouraged me to move up here with him because there is more scout and it is better for hockey. I'm really excited for the class. I've always wanted to be in acting but they have never offered it as a class in my previous schools. I'm not much of a fan of like stage acting but I'm mostly interested in movie acting, comedy, and improv work.
What I would like to work on most is are improv, tragic, commercial acting, and comedy. I want to do improv because I really want to explore my creativity and I need to work on quick ideas. I want to work on commercial acting because I feel that if you are any type of actor than you should know how to do a commercial and no better place to learn how to do that then acting class. I really want to do comedy because that is my favorite. I love all comedy movies and I feel that I can excel in doing comedy. But I believe that any good actor can do any role well. So that is why I want to work on tragic scenes. But I can't cry.
I've not had much experience with acting before. Besides a small role as a dwarf in a 4th grade play. But that is why I took this class. I'm very excited to see what is to come of acting class.
