This has to be one of the busiest months I’ve had in a long, long time. Some of it is by choice, though.
Thursdays are usually my laid-back days. I don’t have class until 3:30, and I get out at 5 for the day. Usually I try to get my homework for Friday done (it always seems that instructors assign homework due on Fridays) before 3:30. Well, that didn’t happen again today. It really never does. I was able to complete my new media homework before class, but the CS and my speech preparation had to wait until afterwards. After new media one of the new faculty candidates spoke to a group of new media students (including myself) and answered questions. I want to make as many of these as I can; I’d like to hear what they have to say and I’d really like to stay involved with the program. On top of that, Matt from next door convinced me that I should go to the Student Film Festival being held at 6:30. I did that, too, and didn’t get back to the room until 9:00. Luckily, I’m already done my CS so I can just practice my speech after I watch a little TSS.
The Film Festival was good; there was a large variety of short films, skits, and videos, and it was really amazing to see the talent and humor everyone who submitted the films had. There was even an entry by the Hampden Academy computer club (why there wasn’t one when I was there, I’ll never know). I like amateur films, especially those of my UMaine-mates. I’d love to get something set up along those lines in new media; maybe a showcase of student work of some sort. Stay tuned.
