Changes
Well, well, well...
How things have changed lately. First of all university is back and I must say I'm loving it. Editing is going to be a challenge because we have to make a children's book and pretend someone else in the class is the person asking us to make it. So much work is involved. But it'll be a good challenge :) But right now we have to proofread a 21 page script written for us by our screenwriting teacher and then go into class and talk about the things that could get fixed up. Man, it's going to take me FOREVER!
Screenwriting is great. We will be writing the script for our own feature film. It's going to be great and has to be about 90-130 minutes long, which is a lot of pages, let me tell you. We wrote the beginning to one just as an exercise in the first class last week, it was only about 15-20 seconds long, but I'm happy because the teacher loved what I wrote. It really made me happy. This is what I wrote, picture it:
A bright Autumn afternoon. Leaves on the ground, falling with the wind gusts. A blonde 30-ish woman driving down the street turns the corner, observing her new surroundings. She looks around, frowning, and reaches over to the passenger seat, rumaging through empty coffee cups and forgotten food wrappers, searching for a single piece of paper. So many cliched suburban houses lining both sides of the street; two cars in the driveways, children's toys adorning the recently cut front lawns. She sighs, finding the paper and reading the address scribbled on it.
(For that there had to be one character who had to show mystery, or made us want to know more about. I think mind does that... well the teacher said it does, so... yay!)
Another subject I have is Myths and Symbols. Here we study ancient myths, like Roman and Greek myths and such. Even some Chinese ones. It's going to be really good! We're now doing Oedipus, and I'm so happy because I did that for english two years ago in year 12, and went extremely well in the exam for it, so I'm excited. (Got among the top 90% of students in the state on the exam.) So this subject will be good too, except for the 10 minute oral presentation. That's gonna suck, but hey, so far so good :)
On the other side of the emotions list, Steven and I broke up last week. We both decided it was too hard to have a relationship living so far apart. I'd felt that way for a long time, not really comfortable in the relationship, but it was good while it lasted. Now though, I'm definitely happier being single. I don't feel guilty staring at other guys :D Not that I did...
It's my birthday soon too :) First of March, next Tuesday :) It's gonna be a bitch of a day though because I have both university and TAFE from 8.30-5.30 classes. It's gonna be so busy. But on the lighter side of it, new Simpsons episode that night, followed by two repeats and then CSI (new eppys!) and CSI: New York, which premiered last night and I loved.
Hopefully things stay good though.
Okay, gotta go and do some homework :) Bye! xx
