I was right yesterday when I said that Day Ones will be better than Day Twos for a change.Film/Video is a beauty class. If I could date a subject, film/video and I would be starting our long-term relationship right about now. I've found a small group of movie nerds like me, and we discussed movies that we had all seen for the part of class after our teacher gave us the introduction. We have to do one review on an indie film every month (!!!!), and keep a journal of ideas and what not. Not bad, not bad at all.
In English I made a fool of myself (as usual). We had to write a poem where every line started with "I like" and I did why I like film. I did it because it was all I could think of, but I could feel these two guys (who both happen to be in four of my classes in total - and one of them is that guy I talked about in a few earlier entries) staring at me. Which made me feel like a fool, because they're in my film class, and I talked about film and now the word "film" makes no sense anymore since I've said it so many times.
Drama Production is gonna be hard. We sat in a circle and had to say why we signed up for the class, and almost everyone said for performance or acting. I had planned on just saying that I was there for playwriting and directing, but I heard myself saying that I was there for acting too. It wasn't a lie, but it was something I hadn't planned on saying. I must've done that.....at least once in each class today. Before even thinking about anything, I volunteered to read my poem aloud in english, I answered a question in math (and I was wrong), I said the acting thing in drama, and I took initiative in film. I'm shocked. The poem got claps, the teacher in DP doesn't seem to think I'm an idiot. The initiative in film was okay, and I (somehow) laughed off the math mistake. Shockingly, I'm not nauseaus.
Now I'm nervous for my first period class tomorrow. I could switch it to another class that fits why I took non-traditional art better. Something called Interdiciplinary Art or something, only it's on day 1 period 2, which is the same day as my film class, and I don't want to switch anything now. Plus, I don't want to wait in the line, which stretches from inside the guidance office, across the foyer, and into the other hall, practically.
I guess.....I'll just stick to Non-traditional. I am creative (at least, I like to think I am), and I can handle doing all those projects, plus production on the DP show, plus stage managing the sears play (assuming my friend's submission is accepted), plus all the film class stuff.
I hope I don't break. Maybe if I duct tape my head, so it won't break in half.......
