is direction as important as movement?
I laugh more with my siblings than I do with anyone else. tambot and my brother Bay left this morning. I miss them already. I get so used to their presence, giggling, playing on the computer, and watching movies... I feel so at home with them. I wish they could have stayed on indefinitely. But they had to get back for my brother's sushi picnic date with his crush (so cute!) and I had to get back to work. Today I have photos due, tomorrow a design and 5 minutes of footage. The doc class is absolutely kicking my ass but it IS doing what it set out to do, aka, make me a documentarian. I can't watch a film without picking it apart with tooth and nail to find its structure. Way to go Donna!

I screwed up the hotel info for our last visiting speaker and feel like an ass. It's fixed, but I just hate messing up, especially when I'm doing work for Donna, I just respect her so much I don't like looking bad in front of her. On the other hand, arranging travel for all the speakers for our department has been absolutely exhausting and I'm not even getting paid or getting credit for all the headache. The travel person at UT I have to work with changed his hotel three different times so it's hardly surprising I lost track. Still, back in the day I would have called the airline and hotel to confirm the arrangements. There's just so much going on these days. I feel like I'm doing too many things and none of them well. Pretty much everyone I know on this continent is exploding and/or disintegrating in some way in the last few weeks so it's not particularly noteworthy I feel like this too. On the other hand, I really don't like to live like this. I am putting everything that doesn't move me in a direction of balance out of my head entirely. That said, it's beautiful out and I can feel summer waiting for me around the corner. I can't believe it was a year ago last week that I came to Texas to visit. It feels like it's been 5 years... I have learned and wrestled and cried and smiled and loved and lost and said goodbye and made new friends and learned this town. It's been a truly great year, measured in units of change, from last March until now.

I was accepted to the Prague filmmaking program! Eee! But I kind of knew that would happen. What I'm concerned about is getting some money for it. Give me scholarships UT! I've been reading all about Prague online and I can't wait. I'm going to run around Europe afterwards with my friend Matt and I am so excited! I've only ever been to Greece before. Where are your favorite places in Europe?
