Found a moment

Oh man, I swear.. for the past month, I've been opening up this blog site day after day without being able to write anything down. Been trying to find any spare moment I could find to sit down and completely note anything that's been going on. Lemme see if my memory is able to re-call the past month of events! Or past week...

All hell pretty much broke loose between week 5 and spring break. I don't think I've ever been so happy about spring break in my entire life. Towards the end of that last week of school, my body and mind was literally giving out more and more each day. The last day didn't go so well. After getting into a bike accident while rushing to class (which was a first), and almost missing a project deadline (which was another first), it felt like a miracle to see myself through it.

But.. seems like my bad luck kind of stuck with me just a little while more. The next day, I almost lost my laptop in an online scam. Feels pretty awful when you figure out what a person was set out to do to you after working out a deal with him for hours. Thought things were going to turn around for the better during the upcoming Tahoe trip. Although I had a good time, it's been a while since I got into a pretty nasty boarding accident. Tailbone injuries are the worst.

All in all, I guess things could have been worse-- I haven't fallen into any deeper crap. I accomplished what I needed to accomplish during that last week of hell, and I'm still able to walk right now. The rest of my spring break was very pleasant-- a day of solitude, and another few with familiar company. That made up for a lot--




It's now week 9, and the first day back from spring break. Getting back into routine. Even though the semester isn't ending till mid-May, we're already starting on our final projects.

I think out of all of them, I'm looking forward to completing my photo storyboarding final the most. We've finally started learning how to use the super 8mm cameras for our short film final projects. Heh, after getting hands on with it for the first time today, I can only imagine how terrifying it's going to be while shooting with the kinoflex. Definitely makes me appreciate my mini DV camcorder a lot more.

I'm pretty set on an idea for my short film.

It will be titled "Advent".
