After countless hours of preparation and many more more hours of writing and only about three hours of sleep and lots (lots) of caffeine, I finally turned in my research paper for Cinema today. I discussed the use of isolation and confusion in Taxi Driver, The Conversation, and Dawn of the Dead (the Romero one, not Zack Snyder's) and how they related to American culture in the 1970s. I worked very hard on it.
I also did a lot of running around today, trying to get signatures for my add/drop form for next semester.
Spring 2010 Schedule:
Spanish 102
Meditation and Stress Reduction (it's a PE credit!)
Junior Theory Seminar
Intermediate Fiction Writing
Film Theory
It's going to be a lot of work, and I will essentially have no life on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but it is all going to be worth it. For the first time, I really feel like I'm doing entirely what I want to do. 100%.
My screenwriting portfolio is due tomorrow at 5pm. My brain is in overdrive. This might be the most fun part of my finals.
Spanish exam Wednesday morning, then I pack for Chicago and head out Thursday.
The next few days are going to be really interesting.
