Oh the joy of tough decisions

I've come to a pretty major decision: I am going to be a screenwriter. I've been throwing around tons of ideas since I got into the film major (still kind of buggin' about that one) and choosing an emphasis was even harder than choosing a major! It's as if every time you make a decision you are faced with a wall of doors. You weigh the pros and cons, decide what works best for you, then step over the threshold. Once you're in the door however, you're just faced with another wall of even bigger doors! When will the doors end and I can feel like I am living in a space, not just a state of indecision? That time is (kind of) now. For at least the next two years I will devote my college career to writing, perfecting my writing, never having perfect writing, being shot down for my lack of perfection, and (hopefully) growing from that and writing perfectly my imperfect writing. Redundant and repetitive enough for you? :)

I don't know if I'll be any good, I don't know if I'll make any money. Oh let's just be honest, I probably won't. But I really love storytelling and I hope that I can turn my passion into something at least my mom will want to read/watch. Yay mommies.

Other than that, life goes on. I go to school, I go to work, I go to sleep. I am very much looking forward to the end of this semester. I have Christmas to look forward to and Christmas means snow and no homework! Oh Goodie! I have, however, made a promise to myself and to my roommates that I will not listen to Christmas Music until November. If you know me, you know this is a huge feat but I am staying strong and I will succeed!

Movies I've seen recently: Nothing. That's what fall semester does to you.

Pictures I've taken: (here's a few, please enjoy!)
I will leave you with a few pictures I've taken
