I missed class this morning. Like a dumbass, I left my phone in the car overnight and didn't get my alarm. Disappointed in myself that I missed another 8:30 class. Last time I had an 8am I had a similar problem. Never again.
Also, for the first time since getting my phone, I am uploading all the pictures and videos onto a computer. Honestly should have taken care of this months ago, but now is better than never. I've been struggling with having no memory on my phone for so long that it's just become part of my phone, but now I can actually update my apps and stuff. Now I can update my chase app and put money into my account. Finally!!!
I'm also getting paid today, which is going to completely change my day to day life. I'm not gonna ball out, but I am going to be able to pay off some debts and have some money for myself. It might also be a good time to start budgeting myself, but with the amount of income I'm about to be getting (through my long hours at IT and SAAC stipends) I think I'll be ok with just saving 50 dollars every paycheck. If I can get that scholarship too, then my first couple months after school will be so much easier.
I have no idea, still, what awaits me at the end of my college career. I will probably live at home for at least a year. Having access to a car, cheap rent, and home cooked meals consistently is too good to pass up. I can possibly get a job through my mom, and start saving up money to take classes in the city or buy video making equipment. The beauty of writing is that I can take a job and still work on my craft and pursue it as a career. There is nothing stopping me from trying to make it as a writer.
Speaking of that, It's getting to the time where I need to start on this movie. It's been pretty cool to think about in class and meetings with Mark, but I don't want to be scrambling to come up with 30 pages a couple of days before the deadline. I should have 10 pages done by next Friday, definitely.
I just need to write the first 30 pages, which he thinks is the most important part of the movie. I'm inclined to agree, if I presented only the 'fun and games' portion of the movie then there's no telling what the hell is going on. If I can set up the characters and plot, then the rest of the movie comes pretty naturally. It's going to be hella hard, tho. But I believe in this script, and I think that if I stick to it long enough, especially after the end of this semester where I'll have half of it finished, then I can have a movie script that I can present proudly. I'm slowly building up a portfolio, and that's really exciting.
I also have a deadline for my drug rap that I'm still really excited about, October 22nd. Its a song writer's club open mic, so it's the perfect opportunity to present a comedy-rap. The only problem is that I can't write it now.. it needs to be 'in the moment'. I think that's why I'm so excited about it, though.
Laugh club is going on a missionary trip of sorts today. There's an RA at some hall that I found making a poster for an Improv night... so we were going to go over there and commandeer the whole thing. It will be a fun opportunity to work with people who have never done improv before (assuming residents show up) as well as recruit this girl to join our club. Putting our name out there as much as possible is only a good thing. People are really starting to hear about us. I think we're on our way to being a pretty damn good club.
I just had to help somebody with their computer for about 15 minutes. That's ok, part of the job. I was pretty much done with this post anyway.
Words I learned to spell: Commandeer.
