On Wednesday during last period Nick and i skipped to film. The film was due on Friday, first thing in the morning and we had a very loose script and about 30 seconds of footage. We got some cuts of me running around school and into buildings and all sorts of stuff. Then after school we went to starbucks to try and film there, but apparently corporate assholes don't enjoy cameras, thus it is company policy to ban them from the store. So we went to Caribou and snuck the camera in and took the footage we needed. Showcase Night was at 5 that night and we had to get fried chicken for kennedy's skit before we went there. So we go and perform at Showcase night, lines loosely memorized. After the show we head back to Nick's to edit. We edit all the footage we took that day until 10:30, when I go home.
During gym on thursday Katie and I went to Chick-fil-a, and had exactly enough cash/loose change to be a quarter short of the price. Toe AWESOME ladie let us get what we wanted anyway without the quarter. Right after school Nick and i went to film. We got some footage at freedom park and then had to go do another Showcase Night. We decided that I'd have to spend the night at his house to get everything cut and polished and packaged, so I did that. We finished shooting everything at about 11pm that night, finished editing everything at about 3:30pm that night. Just before we finish filming, I get a call from my mother and Mrs. McMillan saying that Dr. Thomas has decided to can the film for time's sake and he made something up about Ms. Petta being crazy and not knowing it was going to happen. Which is funny, because we told Petta about it last night at the Showcase. We're so passionate about it at this point that we don't care, we're finishing it anyway. I went home to print out my extended essay at around midnight. At 3:45 we were at Kinkos printing Cover and CD art and looking for DVD-Rs. At 4:00 we were at the Arbo Wal-Mart buying DVD-Rs. At 5:00 we were back at Nick's house, everything assembled. 5:15 final screening of the finished product. I went to "sleep" at around 5:30, Nick checked out a little bit before me. Woke up at 6:00, took a shower, got everything ready to go. 6:40, Chick-Fil-A, same cashier as before, i let her keep my change, exactly one quarter. During school we show the movie to Ms. Petta, Dr. Thomas and countless numbers of Ron's bitches (the postmenopausal women that are always in his office), which gets me out of Sports and Fitness and the first half of English. After school I stay and set up everything for the luncheon for GUNTER on monday, which is when he gets to see our little film.
I get home from school, give Nick his laptop and projector and go to sleep at around 4:00.
I woke up this morning at 9:30, this was the first sleep i'd gotten since Wednesday night. I loved it.
