CAS REFLECTION:

CAS has been very helplful to me, while it usually forced me to do something i didn't want to do, later i ended up realizing the value of what i had done and most of the times i also had fun in the end; i can't think of a better example of this than the play, which i really enjoyed.
Another aspect of CAS that i really like are Mr. Barbosa's classes. In the last two classes we did activities like thanking our classmates and complimenting them. This seemed forced and silly in the start, but it turned out to be something beautiful and in some way, it made us feel like we were closer together as a group.
Overall, CAS is a class that has surprised me much during these last months, and i hope it keeps bringing good surprises.

CAS ENTRY: PLAY
- At first I hated being in the play. I would have to miss a Friday night and a Saturday, so by the time that I was telling the bus driver that I wouldn't be going back on Thursday, I was already regretting the decision of signing up for light management; to make it worse, the spotlight gets really hot and I would have to be standing up the whole time.
However, when it was 18:00 and I entered the theater, my mood changed completely; everyone was working and collaborating, and the atmosphere was really nice. So I decided to start helping Luca to tape numbers in the chairs, this took about 40 minutes. After that, me and 3 other backstage guys got together to bring the scenarios from outside, and even though it was raining we had no problem.
Then at 20:00 the play started, everyone was a little nervous, and I suddenly felt a little shiver in my spine. But I don't have many problems with anxiety, so I dealt with the "stage" fear (I wasn't even in the stage) well enough.
The play was beautiful, and at the end of it I couldn't wait for the next day
