I haven't posted in a while, but I guess maybe I should.
A few days in New York was meant to get it out of my system, but if anything it's just made me want it more. I guess that's a good thing, because it reminds me to keep going even when things seem hard. My film course classmates are ALL male. And after coming back at the end of a break the other day I overheard a conversation in which one of them was talking about how he loves his work as a bartender because he's around drunk chicks all the time, I wondered if I could cope with 101 more weeks of being around these people. But if it means I can go to New York next time with a qualification and a chance at doing what I want to do with my life, then it will all be worthwhile. I just need to have patience.
They don't seem too bad. I mean, some of them seem awful, but there are a few who don't. There's one guy, Phillip, from South Africa, who seems pretty cool, and another one whose name I don't know, I'm afraid. There's a girl in one of the combined classes (with the audio students) who is pretty cool and a bit of a comedy nerd which is always good.
For one of the units we have to make a film. I don't know if that is a group project or not, but I'm already worried, either way. I didn't expect to be making actual films this soon into it.
Today is my day off so I'm going to Kmart to get some photos printed then to my dad's house for dinner. And at some point I need to deal with Centrelink.
How fucking suburban.
