an update on my life. minimal arts news.

Massiel and I have been making very very slow progress on the script. Mostly life and my motivation keep getting in the way, I think. I'm always tired.

I just finished reading 1984 and I'm inspired to write all sorts of things, and I want to do some projects someday with my best friend, but I have so much to do. I have to find a job and then I want to volunteer, hopefully for Make-A-Wish Foundation and Liberty Science Center.

My aunt is dying. Everyone's got cancer, including people close to me. Recently I've been wondering if God is calling me to do cancer research or something.

This isn't really about arts, but it's about my life, and I'm updating this blog because the rest of my life affects my art.

Oh, the lit mag was printed! It's nice. =D I learned a lot from it as far as editing, especially content-wise. It's also motivated me to learn Photoshop so I can help Massiel. And, uhm, I like the pieces I included in it. If you know me, hit me up if you want to read them.

The first, Grocery Shopping With My Girl, is about a guy who goes uhm, grocery shopping with his girl who is totally rude and a horrible person, but he doesn't really care because he loves her anyway.

The second is equally tender but with less offensive characters (I think they're charming, actually.) Two people on a train bonding while one sleeps, etc. etc., it's just overall sweet. =)

What else? Oh, I've taken to using PSP to design greeting cards =D

This is the one for my aunt.

I changed the words around, but this is the general layout. I'm very proud of the flowers. And actually, I've liked what it's said through all its revisions.

I'm taking a summer course at NJCU for Survey of Music so I can learn more about it, yay! =D I'm taking it with my best friend, Mark.

the one where summer had conflicts and too much to do.

this was a weird day. it's finals week or whatever, but i'm still doing a million things like the NHS program, getting stuff together concerning my play for miss telmany, and finishing up literary mag (although massiel's been doing most of it lately because i don't know photoshop =[ ) and i had a job interview for goldman sachs which i hope i'm getting.

but yeah, bad news.

we have no camera to film my movie so that had to be put off, and most of us haven't been able to practice for Strawberry for legitmate reasons (most of us anyway) and i found out that thursday is boscobel, friday is miss gibney's thing, saturday and sunday aren't possible, monday is exit day, and tuesday is graduation. there is no time left to do it. =( we can't even do it during blocks 1 and 2 on thursday because choir is having a concert. ahh! grr! and why is the spring concert so late anyway? whatever. it's like, on-the-verge-of-being-summer concert. it's literally a day away from being a summer concert.

on a better note, i performed "paper bag" by fiona apple at open mic with my best friend joelle. =) and christine and i finished the mock trial mystery dinner show plans and hopefully we'll be able to pull that off. we get to be waitresses. =) yay. and we serve pizza. yay. and uhm...yeah that's pretty much it.

i must study for spanish finals. and rsvp to the njcu thing, and start my summer assignments, and finish compiling play-related things, and finish the exit day programs....
