Hello Everyone!!
Rather than obsessively updating my facebook status, I'm going to keep in touch with you peeps here. So far, things are going well. Jones (my dorm) is actually very nice, and I don't get a roommate for a week (the acting on camera kids come later) so I get a double to myself. This situation is nice, because for this first week I can get adjusted in privacy but then I'll have someone around later.
Sunday was move in day, monday was campus tour and chill day, but today was our first day of actual classes. We have class from eight in the morning to ten at night, six days a week. We have classes in production, screenwriting, editing, and animation every day. I need to come up with three ideas for my final project by monday... and we have casting and location limitations, but otherwise great possibilities, so I have no idea where to start.
Thank goodness though, because we have one break in between dinner and night lecture. It turns out a couple of the girls also play guitar, so I used that break to play with them. I brought mine, and someone else brought theirs, so we just passed the two guitars around during the time we had. I also had a little time to play catch with a girl who brought a football. The break was just what I needed, because we had five two hour classes today.
Our teachers are all very unique and interesting. I'm new to everything, which is terrifying, and I hope I can tackle everything thrown at me. The days will be so tiring, and its so hard to focus for that long- but it helps tremendously that everything I need to focus on are things that I really want to learn.
The program is strict- if we are late to class, we need to write a 100 word paragraph using only one being verb on the movie we watch at night lecture. My goal right now is to go a week without being late. I'll let you know how it goes.
The food is okay- I was bracing for the worst, but its not too bad. I need to start making healthier choices. My room is immaculately clean right now, and I hope it stays that way. Again, I'll let you know how all of that that goes.
If you are reading this, feel free to respond, and if you know me, please let me know what you are up to.
Take care, and I'll try to write later,
Molly
