Overall, exhibition night was really good for me because I got to show other’s what I’ve been learning this semester and how hard I’ve been working to make my projects as good as they are right now. Everything went really smoothly for my groups and I felt more comfortable when I answered the first questions when all the people came in because I already knew there were going to ask hard questions. The vibe during exhibition night was really good and seeing everyone having fun while keeping it professional. Some of my group’s strengths were answering the questions they asked us very professional and accurate because that was our key to success for exhibition night and also when someone would try to change the subject from our project, we would come back and say more facts about our project. Some of our weaknesses were having food behind us that our mom’s gave us and that wasn’t professional for some parts. But that was our only weakness and I really thought all my groups did really well for exhibition night. The most challenging interaction I had during exhibition night was when my mom comes in and starts talking about something different other than my project and it took me five minutes to take her back to my project because I couldn’t talk about anything else but our projects. So I thought I handled that situation really well because it was my mom so she understood a little bit easier. The only thing I would do differently if I could, it would be not having food behind us when were presenting because it was not professional, but overall I wouldn’t change anything else because I really did well and I’m proud of my group members.

Character Study
What I learned in today’s character's study was that there is more to your character than you might not know. When you are trying to be a character, you have to be the character and be in the zone that you can't just be yourself if someone is holding a gun to your head. You have to go into your character like it was a real conflict happening. What I also learned was that one of my characters has more potential to be someone more exciting after today character study because it opened my eyes that if you try and act a character you made, that is one stage that you learn from. You see the change when you write your character on paper and then actually being them.
Some new elements I will use now to make my characters more complex to the story is to make my character more energetic and my hyped up because before the character study my character Adrian use to be clam to anything. Now I want to make him fiercer when scary stuff pop out or when there is going to be a car crash. When my character is more energetic, he seems more fun to look at and learn more about because he isn't boring and now he can act like a real Nazi in my story! Now my story will be more exciting to read because it is during World War II and there is someone that cares about the Nazi party and will do anything for them, then just being clam about being a Nazi. It will become boring when you had the regular
