The Oscars Are My Super Bowl

I wonder if I could write a post right now that didn't involve musical in one way or another...

Today we had a meeting to figure out everything for the big spring break trip and things went really well. I think everyone is pretty much on board. We're staying with some of my relatives, some of Tony's relatives, swinging by Joe's. It's going to be excellent. It's pretty much squared up completely. I just have to make a few campsite reservations and we'll be good to go. We're borrowing Tony's Mom's van and driving all together. Only five weeks to go. I'm just as excited about this as I was for Indy this time last year. Everyone's pumped. I'm going to make a playlist on my iPod that'll last the entire trip. Hopefully I can get it to sync up in halarious and appropriate ways. Can you believe I've never been to Florida before? Weird.

Watching the Oscars right now. I'm completely content with whatever happens because John Canemaker won for Best Animated Short. I know it's strange, but that was the only award I really cared about...and nobody gives a damn about that one but me. And maybe John Canemaker.

I'm very complacent right now. I'm a little too content with what's going on around me. I'm not used to it. It's starting to make me edgy. I better snap out of it soon. I have lots of work to do on the movie and I need to kick up musical another notch. Shit. It's really difficult not to mention something when you spend all your freetime involved in it. Well, now that it's mentioned. I'm extremely excited going into the first tech week. I really enjoy being totally immersed in stuff, being able to (forced to) devote myself to one thing and one thing only. After it's over I'm going to focus on school just enough to get by, anxiously await college acceptances and financial aid estimates, work nonstop on the movie, and try and make money for the trip. So, oddly enough, I'm kind of savoring this hectic musical time. It's rather relaxing in comparrison.

What did I even do all week? I think we had Masterminds recently, but I can't remember if that was last week. Was last week break? I'm really fuzzy on this stuff at the moment. Thursday was jazz band. I haven't worked in forever. I hope it's not a problem when I try to go back. I defenitly need to get in some hours this upcoming weekend so they don't forget I exist. I'd really like to at least tell them that I'm not able to work during the week because of musical. I tried, half-heartedly, to call in a few times, but it was late enough in the day that they didn't need me. This whole having-a-job-without-a-set schedule thing is really not the best idea. I have no motivation.

I was talking to my dad about NYU. He pretty much said I can't go if it costs more than 20,000 dollars a year after loans. On the other hand, glass half-full perspective, I only have to get 50% of tuition paid for by aid and loans to be able to go. I have to get in first too. I keep on forgetting they haven't actually accepted me yet and at this rate karma is going to kick me in the ass. I spend too much money. I should be hording it. I hope my Mom helps me pay for college. I don't think my Dad thinks she will, but she acts like she is going to. Whatever.

This is my favorite time of year, in between February break and Spring break. After spring break sucks...but maybe it won't this year. I think after AP tests are over I'll be doing nothing but working on the movie. I can't waaaait until the movie is finished. That is going to be the best feeling in the world. I feel like this is going to be the hardest movie I'll ever have to make. Next time I try to make a feature it will be with a budget and a crew and a producer. And I won't have to juggle school with it at the same time. It'll be my job. Dude. That's sweet.
