I am so glad it's the weekend. Not because it means sleeping in and lazing around, but just because maybe now I'll finally have time to get around to everything I was supposed to be doing the rest of this week.

Today was just a little frustrating. Had a great day yesterday (felt productive, went in to edit my group project at 10:30 last night and while I didn't get home til 4:00am, I actually felt like I knew what I was doing, and I got things done), but only getting two hours sleep definitely didn't help with my stress level today.

Even though I felt a little dazed this morning, things weren't too bad until we had our production company meeting. One guy didn't show up, two of us got upset, then found out that the other two people in the group really aren't happy with the organization or power structure of the group. It seems to be an "us vs. them" attitude... bah. And what was really upsetting was that the guy who didn't show up is someone I really like, and usually we seem to be able to communicate pretty well. I don't know if I'm disappointed in him, or bothered that he didn't complain about the way things were going until we got upset with him, or what, but it sucks.

I really hope that he'll either realize that we are taking this project seriously and change his attitude, or that he'll manage to tone down the joking and false fronts and really be able to talk about things so we can sort it out. I don't doubt that we'll be able to get the project done as it is, but it'd be so much nicer to get things done and keep people happy at the same time. If that's possible. And I especially don't want to lose this weird, mocking friendship we've got now.

Anyway. I had a couple of good rants today -- hopefully it's out of my system for now. At least I feel like things are finally starting to get done, even if I haven't quite mastered the intricacies of group dynamics. Bleh.

Hm. Found out tonight that the guy I've kind of sort of been avoiding for the past... um... four months? is moving to LA in two weeks. And from there, he's moving to Pakistan.

Is it wrong that my first reaction was to think, "Wow, that makes things simpler for me." ?

Probably.

I got over twelve hours sleep last night. Yay!

Never wrote about our little field trip the other week. One of our classes somehow got double-booked for the computer lab, so it was cancelled, meaning eighteen of us were sitting around with nothing to do for six hours until our next class. Someone jokingly suggested going down to take a tour of the CBC Building ("go watch the tumbleweeds roll by"), someone else mentioned the Vicki Gabereau show, and a phone call or two later, four or five carloads of us were heading downtown to go see the show. (It's hard enough organizing a group meeting of four people -- I'm so impressed that anyone was able to get almost the entire class to do something like this.)

There was no one particularly cool on the show that day, but there were free wraps and coffee beforehand, and we got to look at their spiffy cameras and chat a bit with some of the crew. One woman looked a little shifty when she found out we were from BCIT ("[insertscaryteacher'snamehere] isn't here, is he?"). And one girl in the class, even more giddy and squealy than she usually is, was gushing so much to Vicki (Vicki: "You should get a life.") that she was offered a position as an intern. Her response was to punch Vicki in the shoulder enthusiastically {g}.

We really should have more field trips.

Look, I'm posting!

Geez, it's almost been a month...

And all I have to say is meh.

Meh.

Today was a totally pointless day so I guess it's only right that this be a totally pointless post.
