If you are going to have a dream, have a big one. From Aaron Brown, former CNN anchor. It's Wednesday night, three days into the new semester, one day left of classes before the weekend. I somehow managed another blank Friday. Thank goodness. You may not see much of me this semester, though I'll try to keep in touch because I guarantee it will be worth it. I've got 6 classes, 19 credits and an internship. Which means, projects, projects, projects! And lots of time outside the classroom and little quality time with my pillow. Not knowing how I'm going to manage at all, I'm really excited about this semester. I'm going to shooting millions of pictures, doing lots of filming and editing; all in all it's going to be a very creative, diligent and stressful semester. I'm actually a bit worried that I will need to drop a class. I really don't want to, but I'm taking so many important classes that I really care about and I want to put forth my best effort in those courses. I'll have to give it some more thought. And I definitely need to meet with my counselor... I love my class with Aaron Brown. I feel like an idiot in there because there is so much history that I'm so ignorant about, but whenever he raises the question about a famous name or incident, all I want to do is research it and find out more. I feel denied of something significant when I don't know who so-and-so is or what such-and-such was about. Today he showed us the clip of Walter Cronkite announcing to the world that John F Kennedy was killed. I watched it for the first time, and afterwards, realized what it all meant. Outside of school I am also enjoying my internship. It's not the greatest right now because I'm out shooting sports bars in preparation for the Super Bowl, but I am going to be getting red carpet experience, an opportunity to shoot celebrities, just get a crash course of what's it like to be "that kind" of photographer. I like what I'm doing though; I love the fact that I get to be doing so many photos, that I can pitch ideas and work on my own projects, my boss is super cool and upbeat...I know it's early yet, but so far this is shaping out to be my favorite internship thus far. My OCDness is in full throttle right now. I've been trying to organize my self since the first day of classes but have been unsuccessful. The office is still very much a mess, a problem I am hoping Kris will remedy soon, since most of it is his mess. Eyelids are getting heavy...Thumbs up to the first week of classes. I'll keep you posted!
