Greetings reader!
Personal update. So many things happen every single week. Like, a month's worth of things happen in the span of 7 days this semester. It feels very surreal to think that it's only been a single week since my last blog post. I took on a third job, just for this weekend really, doing a literary review for a Geography professor. I don't know, it just really flatters me and I'm just so bad at saying no to people who ask me to work on their projects. I also had my second official sleepless all-nighter of the semester a few days ago. I feel miraculously fine for how bad I am to my body on a pretty regular basis. Also, the Oscars are tonight! I'll try to call it: while I'd personally probably vote for Birdman, I think Boyhood will take home best picture. Now that this blog is published though, I probably jinxed it.
Volunteer update. Not a lot has changed since last week. I'm excited for the week when I can stop saying that (spoiler alert, it's really soon!). Google form is in the works. Hoping to attract more volunteers at upcoming events. I plan to arrange to talk to the 201 and 205 classes about Visions and volunteer opportunities because I personally think that they are one of our most important demographics. I don't know, I have a kind of special place for giving advice to young film majors and I would be really thrilled to think that I present them with an opportunity to get involved in this festival and it does something for them in the long run. On a similar note, I'll also be helping present during our Moviemakers and Scholars thing, so I'll give the same blurb there!
Programming update. It is finished. It was extremely difficult battle and I really can't deny how invested I was in the entire process. Final programming day was such a rollercoaster: ecstatic to devastated, full of energy to purely exhausted in a matter of minutes. It was sometimes confusing and sometimes frustrating, but we have a final list and I'm pretty proud of us. And now, I can't WAIT to meet these people.
Now, off to do more research and watch the Oscars! Signing off for now--
