(no subject)
So...I'm really a sr. now?
Aw jeez.
Well I've survived, and I expect to do pretty well with grades.
I don't really feel like the year is over, especially because I'm remaining on campus (Huntington House). I hear that this house has had bad management this year, and might be in relatively poor condition.
I have a room, a job 40 hours/week, and there's a strange assortment of people here over the summer. More girls than guys is what I've gathered. But compared to the academic year, it's going to be like a ghost town.
My cooking skills will be tested. As will my ability to remain conscious and human working
But I'll have lots of space (in the room, not in the office). Though I do worry about it being too big and lonely. Especially if I inadvertently let my feelings out of the closet again (regarding K). Disconnected 2! I imagine it's going to be a quiet summer without much human interaction, and I can just imagine the effect of losing one of very few friends to interact with because I have to recuperate my stoic "just a friend" emotions.
That would be a loss on several planes. I really don't want that to happen, but know its one strong possibility of 3 that I forsee.
might escape to Des Moines some weekend.
Oh wait, the Green Beast died.
RIP
I don't know if I really need a new car right now. Being trapped in an empty Northfield might challenge that though.
I'm reading books about film in my spare time and really enjoying it. The idea of being a professor is kind of appealing sometimes. In the past I've had visions of going back to Des Moines to teach High School media courses about understanding film and discerning media imagery and changing lives, but that's before I'm in the thick of students who don't give a damn. Get an MA then go to Highschool? That's nice and idealistic but fiscally a shot in the foot. And that prioritization tells you about our society's values. Because it's pre college where America needs help most ( i think, being very uninformed as I am).
Now the way I see it, it's such a great topic people would want to learn right? The way it really is: All teachers (I hope) feel that way, but students are a handful nonetheless. In the case of media and film, people might think of it as a slacker course for being about a "fun" subject and not take it seriously.
Being a film director would be nice because it would be dictatorial management, rather than nitty gritty operating everything.
All the opportunity in the world and a squirrel's indecisiveness.
Aw jeez.
