The Stress! It Consumes Me!
It seems like all of my major projects are all occurring around the same time. Here's what I've got going on:
1) Still finishing up a short film for my video production class. We finally finished reshoots last night. Still have to finalize the edit.
2) Despite the fact that this project isn't finished and won't be due for another week, our teacher went ahead and told us to storyboard our final project. We are presenting them in class today. I just pulled an all-nighter (getting ready to catnap for around 1-2 hours) coming up with an idea, writing a script, and drawing it out. I tried all weekend to come up with something, but with everything going on the creative juices just weren't flowing. As it stands now... if the short I just storyboarded gets made, it's going to be a dark comedy in the vein of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It will also require me to direct my first ever brief sex scene. Can you say awkward?
3) On Tuesday I have to submit a proposal to my Journalism professor for a final report project. I have absolutely no idea what I want to do for this. The only random idea popping around in the back of my head is that I could combine my interest in journalism with my interest in sociological gender issues and report on a strip club/escort service. Interview the girls about who's actually being exploited. Stuff like that. Other than that, I got nothin'. But I better come up with something so I can propose it and start working on it.
4) For this Journalism class, I also need to attend the fair this week or this weekend and find someone to interview. Oh joy.
5) For my course on Social Class I need to report on some sort of activist meeting or rally. Still need to find a good one so I can go ahead and contact people and set up an interview.
6) Still need to keep doing the readings and turning in the reflection papers each class period for this course as well.
7) I'm supposed to have another draft of No Room in Hell written within the next 2-3 weeks. I haven't worked on it much at all.
8) I'd still like to put together a DVD of The (Hide And) Seeker with the director's cut on it by the end of the semester. Speaking of which, the film was uploaded on YouTube and you can find it here.
9) Gotta remember to vote in a few weeks so I can do my part and get Obama elected.
10) I'm still writing for the newspaper and going to film screenings.
11) Still co-hosting multiple podcasts.
12) Recently interviewed about a two-and-a-half-semester-long job that I really hope I get. If I do, it shouldn't be too hard to make time for it, I just won't be getting much sleep (not that I am anyway). It'll come in handy next semester, though, when my load is hopefully a little lighter.
13) Still trying to work out the details of registering for classes. Looks like I'll be taking 21 hours for both of my last two semesters since I'm still not getting any credit for my study abroad courses.
Yeah. It's that time of the year...
