As part of the movie I am making for my internship, I am profiling a day in the life of a student at the school. This student, I decided, would be Luulia. So, throughout the day today, I shadowed Luulia around her classes and filmed. I collected lots of footage and was generally pretty successful. Afterschool, Luulia had work and we both headed out to it together. Her work was at a local elementary school where she teaches a small group (or club) of kids in theatre. Today, however, was her last day and the students were having a little performance of a play they'd been putting together. We got to the school and I helped Luulia prepare for the arrival of the students. Once they came, they hustled and bustled about preparing costumes and props. After about half an hour, their parents started to arrive and they performed. The play was a story combining multiple fairytales such as Little Red Riding Hood and The Wizard of Oz and was, overall, very entertaining despite the fact that I could not understand the language.

After work, we got picked up and went home. We then settled down and continued with our Lord of the Rings marathon, getting through the end of the first movie and half of the second until going to bed.
