You know the best thing about Sundays? The libraries and dorm rooms are so crowded, you can walk around campus feeling like you've got the entire place to yourself. :)
This morning, Jinny woke me up at 9:50 reminding me I signed up for an event with her at 10am and we only had 10 minutes to get there... I'd completely forgotten about it, so it kinda messed up my whole plan for the day in which I was going to spend the whole day getting lots and lots done.
But anyway, we made it there on-time, and it turned out to be pretty fun and worth the time!!
What was it, you ask? Drumroll...
I took a self-defense class!!
It was part 1 of 2. I need both parts of the class in order to actually have a certificate of completion, but that's next week. Anyway, our dorm building officer offered up RAD (rape aggression defense) classes to girls in the building who were interested, and if there was enough interest, he'd teach it! My RA, Hannah, got together enough people to be interested so that the class actually happened, and Jinny and I were two of the people who put in interest! So there ya go! I learned some basics of how to stay safe that didn't involve kicking somebody's butt, like around the house and at your car and all that jazz, and that took up most of the time. But then we got out of the books and actually started learning how to kick somebody's butt. It was awesome.
So yeah, I can kick butt now. Watch out peoples. *Insert tough looking facial expression here*
The problem was that that took up literally ALL of my morning. What I said about it messing my schedule up? Yeah, I wasn't free until 2... Oh well.
The rest of the day has been me just trying to buy that time back by being as productive as I can be. Homework, to do list stuff, etc. In that mix of getting stuff done, I was cast in a film! I'd forgotten I'd expressed interest to the film student doing the film (just for class), but she got back to me and offered me a role! So I'm filming tomorrow and Tuesday... Plans are getting warped all over the place today! Also, my character might have to kill somebody (off camera), which is kinda.... woah.... But still, I'm excited!
Speaking of films, I finally watched the two films that I was in earlier this semester. It wasn't as bad as I thought the experience of seeing myself would be! But I still think I can improve in a couple of ways... At least, I think so. Maybe I should get somebody who's really really good at acting to watch them and critique me... but I'll try something different with this next film anyways, just to try and improve a little bit. That's the point, isn't it? To learn a little bit with each experience? We'll see how it goes.
Well, today was only the start, and it's gonna be a looooong busy week.... I'm buckling up for quite a wild ride.
Fight on, friends.
