The Long Highway

Not a hard day at school but a busy day indeed; we are working with ProTools and we have two workstations for 14 students, so we have broken into little groups. This means time for catching up on other work, or in my case, some personal affairs and errands. Came home for lunch, went back for my group session at 1-2:30, then went shopping for a few things, mostly stuff for G to take for breakfast and lunch, as the poor thing works 6 am - 2:30 and cannot be expected to prepare her own lunch at 5:00 am. Ate some etouffee for dinner when G got home, plus I cooked her some blueberry muffins. The it was back to school for our introductory editing workshop, where we will focus on the aesthetic aspects. It had its good side and its bad side. So far one of the only beefs I have about school is that the schedule is so messed up. We editors have a more rigorous class schedule than any other discipline and quite often the school fails to work the classes we all have together around our schedule, or vice versa, and nothing gets addressed until one of us brings it up. That was the case today. On top of that, tonight's class was on the schedule until 10:00. At 10:30 one of the instructors cheerfully informed us the class goes until 10:30, or later if needed. (In my opinion, it didn't need to go until 10:30 tonight as we weren't analyzing anything -- but that's another story).

Our schedule at its best is insance. It's stressful to have last minute changes all the time -- one of the things I will bring up as class rep.

No to unwind with a little TV, some milk and cookies.
