The Graduate?

So, after an entire month of daily studying for the GRE, I get a fucking 1100 out of 1600.

lolwut?

I was beasting a lot of my practice tests too, often scoring in the 1200-1300 range. Shiiiiiit!

I dunno what happened, aside from my taking the goddamn computer test.

I'm wondering if I should retake i. The that the bar for what I wanna do isn't particularly high. FSU's requirement is 1000. Plus I've heard of people with 900s and shit go there and to UConn too. Also, Alicia informed me that ETS doesn't average out the GRE score. Hmmm.

That said, I think, through my putsch for the GRE, I've finally figured out what I'm after.

Dear god, I can't believe I'm saying this: I'm gonna try the film school route again.

For the past two years, I figured if I just got a job that didn't piss me off, I'd have enough load off my back to save up money, think of movie ideas, maybe write/produce a couple. The supply line never came. I tried the beat the system and it wound up beating me, HARD! I have no clue how long it'll take the Depression to subside around here and I'm no longer interested in finding out.

Henceforth, film school is probably the route which compromises my ideals the least. I can't think of anything else I'd do effectively other than law, which is interesting and I would probably do a very good job with it but, goddamnit, I just don't think I'd enjoy it enough to feel it worth donating the incredible financial, time and mental resources necessary to complete it.

Maybe this will finally be the thing which kicks my ass into writing something. I don't understand my lack of confidence when it comes to creative shit really. I know I'm a good writer; I've been given money to do this stuff. When you're telling me to do shit about stories, though, I fall apart. I really feel I just don't got it anymore and anything I do is SERIOUSLY behind the curve. Kinda funny, considering I used to be all up in this kinda shit circa a few years ago.
