Yawn! (That's Command Tense, Suckers)

I did fine on the Economics midterm (knock on wood). I was happy to realize that it is shorter than the average AP test, only two hours and ten minutes long. After the test, Tony, Eric, and I went to get scrubs and labcoats for the scene we're filming on Friday with Mr. Borland. We also left Mr. Borland a note in his mailbox to remind him:

"Dearest Borland:

We miss you terribly. Stop. War is not what we imagined. Stop. Just writing to remind you of our rendezvous this Friday at half passed two. Stop. Please send post to confirm. Stop. Like all things, this letter must stop. Stop.

Best regards,
Eric and Tim. Stop."

At the uniform shop where we got the labcoats the guy who rung us up wanted to give us a card to "remind us of the shop when we have other costume needs." REMINDER: He asked us to bring a DVD of the movie when we're done. I think it'd be fun to actually do that. I know it's a little weird, but it was fun to pretend to be a professional. It makes me look forward to, I don't know, doing this whole process with money and prestige. Maybe that'll happen someday. There are just so many things with this movie where if we had more people or more money or more time it could be so much better.

I spent the rest of the day at home. I got some things done, i.e. storyboards for Friday's scene. Now I'm at my mom's house where everyone goes to bed at 8 o'clock and I'm bored for the rest of the night. Well, there's always work to do. So I'm never really bored anymore. Lazy, perhaps.I have a bad feeling that I'll end up at home all day tomorrow. Not out of a lack of opportunity, merely a lack of ambition. There are worse fates. I really should get a jump on preparation for the upcoming scenes. Ha.

There are a bunch of classes that I never got a chance to take at this school that I wish I could've. Lot's of them: Government, Psychology, Environmental Science, European History...I haven't taken a class I regret or thought was a waste of time (I think I've done a pretty good job prioritizing), but I wish there was more time in the day. I think my life is going to be like that. I can't think of a field of study I wouldn't want to pursue in college. I like being a busy person. I like doing everything. I like being constantly up to my neck in work with no end in sight. I can't even decide on one langauge I'd like to study. Hopefully...before I'm dead, that is...I'd like to be fluent in German, French, Russian, Mandarin or Cantanese, Arabic, Spanish, and Portugese. The list (of things I want to do) goes on and on. I defenitly have my whole heart in the filmmaking angle, but I hope I have time to puruse other things...time to explore the world a little bit. Basically, I want to have one of those lives that so inspire me. People like Mr. Borland who have done lots and lots of things -- a laundry list of accomplishments, jobs, hobbies, pursuits. I'm really excited to...live. Freely, that is. To have some control over my life...or, more accurately, to have a less controlled life. I want to toss myself into the wind and keep floating. God willing, I'll never settle.

Boring entry. Happens.
