So, that film app. I have a poor rough draft done of the critical analysis, some corrections to make. I have the creative short story in my head, and I’ll jot it down maybe on the bus Tuesday on the way to Venice to volunteer. The personal statement is now a little erroneous, so I need to redo it, but whatever. There are still 11 days left until it’s due. I’m pressing my luck once again, but I’m not calling it procrastination. I am fully aware of what I’m doing.
I want out.
I have an interview tomorrow to be Campus Events Films Director. I’ll dress up, I’ll be myself. I’m confident I can do the best job of the people currently on staff. Made the choice to try and step up to the plate on this one, fighting for the job. That means I need to prove myself and not just coast.
I want the pressure.
I haven’t done anything creative, of note, since The Experimental Generation. How sad is that? Einstein sucked up time and resources last quarter, as did general malaise and laziness. I have a project in the wings (preproduction meeting on Thursday to plan) that, if done correctly, could be phenomenal. Do I have inordinate confidence now because I did well in one contest? No, I have confidence in my ideas, and I’m going to direct it well.
I will win an award at a recognized film contest.
As for other things going on? resTV is a joke now. Minimal hours, minimal responsibility.
UniCamp is basically done with… my heart’s not in it because my summer is conflicted. To put it succinctly, I had summer plans lined up, and like an organ transplant, it was going smoothly. But now my body is rejecting it and the symptoms are starting to show. Side effects may include lack of enthusiasm for UniCamp, which is taking up a lot of time this quarter for only week in the summer. Next few days will finalize this decision, one way or the other.
It would mean more than just ‘one week’, but also for how I’ve been feeling I need more than one week to get away from everything, from school and what not. It’s tough to describe.
What’s going on with you?

What’s the new project? What is it, what is it, what is it? And i’m just getting ready to jet off to Huehuetenango, which mostly means buying plane tickets, having a sore arm from vaccinations, and trying not to be totally clueless about fair trade.
I leave the ResReport to get less hours, and yet I’m having the most hours ever
Good luck with your new project, and with that interview, and with that film app, and, well, with everything!
You can do eeeeeet!
it’s always endearing to find another, just doors away, thinking of updates of this sort.
mine was a little less functional:

Really? That’s too bad you won’t be continuing with Unicamp, maybe next year? :[
p.s. it’s not “just a week” out of the summer.
