ONE MONTH AWAY!!! (a St. Patrick's Day update: week of 3/17)

Hey reader!

Happy spring! It's not official, but it pretty much is. I've been wearing shorts for two weeks now, so hopefully I can retire PANTS until November now. Shorts >>>>>>>>>>> Pants.

Personal update: SCHOOL IS GETTING HARD!!! I mean, it's been hard ALL semester. But we're like a month and a half away from the end of the semester and there are so many impending papers and projects and tests and all I wanna do is make some films and go swimming. So it's getting increasingly stressful but love pretty weather so that's pretty much making everything okay.

Also, I'm so excited for Visions! Attending/projecting for Visions last year was such an adrenaline rush (as film festivals are), but being behind the scenes is going to be A FATAL BLAST OF ADRENALINE!!!

Volunteer update: We decided to launch the campaign this week instead of the week before spring break, to reduce the social media flux for different campaigns (like registration, video race, etc.) I think it's better anyway because, if we recruited TOO early, people are more likely to forget and make other commitments before the day gets here. Last week, I emailed Dr. Johnson and Dr. Bose, the two 205 teachers this year. I'm announcing the campaign in their classes tomorrow and next Monday. I hope to get a lot of volunteers from those classes! They're an important demographic for Visions. I also just sent an email to the ACE heads to establish needs with them, and hopefully to attend one of their meetings to go over some things in detail.

Campaign launches soon, and I can't wait!

Off to bask in the 70 degree weather (for 5 minutes, before I start studying for tomorrow's midterm),

~Ashley!
