As of Sunday, I will finally have completed my compulsive education. I shall walk with all of my graduation classmates down the aisle, wearing blue polyester, and hopefully my purple converses (mom wouldn’t let me tie a charm to the end of my tassel); At the end of the line, I will receive a document, and then…I shall be free.
…
YAHOOOOOOO!
Er, well, actually it’s really a mixture of ‘yahoo’ and ‘dear-gods-what-the-heck-am-I-doing” to be perfectly frank. I’m looking forward to college, and having the time to explore my own interests till three in the morning if I wish and can finagle it with my roommate, have a library open for me twenty-four hours a day (*drool*) or just visit with my relatives in the area. On the other hand, I’m going to be in Baltimore, which is a wee bit far from New York to put it mildly, and I’ll be away from my parents for six months or more, something that isn’t exactly usual for me. Actually, unlike most teens, I’ve had a pretty good relationship with my parents…or at least throughout most of my history. Now though…heh…well…
I have a great relationship with my dad that has come up within the last few years. I’m not sure how to typify it, but it boils down to he’ll give me an honest answer, even if it’s “I don’t know”, and the same goes for me. My mom though…er…I used to be able to talk to her honestly, and she was quite literally my best friend all through middle school. But since three years ago, it’s become harder to connect with her (due to some spectacular bouts of depression on her part) and I used to be able to talk with her about ner-nigh anything, and now, I’m walking on eggshells- and…oh gods, I’m babbling all over the place, dang it.
It’s just sad I think.
Ah well.
Anyhoo, looking back on my year, there are a few facts I wish to relate:
- When creating a film, there are a few things one should take into account:
- If you are working with Juniors, don’t start filming during APs
- Making sure you understand imovie BEFORE you start the whole project
- Storyboard out clips etc. AFTER the script is done
- Write the script while not listening to techno. It does odd things to your brain
- BE ORGANIZED!
- Cold Pizza for breakfast is actually good!
- When staying over at a friend’s house, make sure their aero bed is working. Otherwise, your back will not be in it’s usual form in the morning. OW.
- Waking up one morning to realize that the Master and the Doctor would make a really cute couple, along with the realization that the reason your Mother doesn’t like Donna is due to Donna being like one of her many relatives (except more made of win), can be bad for your will to leave your bed.
- There is no such thing as too many books, only not enough storage space.
Right, I’m off. Have to get everything organized for my art critical tomorrow (Weeee!).
