A Doll's House

I took a course called Understanding of Play/Theater when I was in Korea. At the end of the semester, we held a show performing what we prepared during the semester. Our team played a shorten version of A Doll’s House.
We decided to play Nora with two actresses - one for the Nora who was a weak and passive housewife in the front part of the play, and second player for the Nora who decided to live her own life leaving her house.
The first actress put a make-up like a pretty doll not a human girl – with long eyelash, pink cheeks, and high hills. The second girl is generally looks like the first one –because they are same girl, Nora – but she wears sneakers. We wanted to show the change of her inside – to an independent, smart woman.
We also changed the angle of the stage (we moved all the furniture slightly out of the straight) in the last scene that Nora leaves her house, to show Nora’s perspective of the world changed. It is the same room, but everything looks different from the last time.

Working on Projects~~

Rushing to do projects all days long, just want to take a small break and write some blog entries.
This is my number 31. Yes. 19 more to go~~ lols.
So yesterday was Monday and was my software engineer class's final project's due day. So I spent whole day working on that project. The project is about making a software for students to check their major requirement and for faculty to file course information and major requirement. It is quit a challenging project. It requires a very sophisticated algorithm, like it needs to take all the course prerequisite and course substitution etc into account. My team is close to finish the implementation. Yet, it still needs some improvement. I remember in our thr 216 class that Professor talks about how the technology is taking over some of the pink collar jobs. I do agree with it. Just like this project that my team is working on. Once it is proved to be correct and perfect, we can actually let the student and faculty to use it. This may possibly reduce the amount of advisers student needs because students can check whether they have reached all the major requirement on their own using their own computer.
