Feeling so spiritual that you doubt its authenticity

I met with Andrew in the afternoon to discuss my shitty seven research questions and my new shitty dialogue for my script. Overall, he was impressed (sort of) with the questions, and then not-so-much about the dialogue. Which I felt okay about, though not-so-okay about the new deadlines he has given me for both projects. The rest of the afternoon was dedicating to wrapping up a very insightful (HA!) spiritual autobiography that ended up constituting two pages. After storyboarding, I was once again excited about the project, and more so about the implications for my spirituality.

happy to be wrong

With a little help from Russ, I convinced Mom to meet me for lunch, where she showed up with a new coat for me!  The Revolving Doors writing meeting made me fear that they would soon regret inviting me to be a head writer (due to my lack of innovative and creative ideas), which left me feeling all self-deprecating and such (surprise!), so I went to get my hair done to feel better.  The salon closed at 5, so I went back to the room and wasted time before driving to Andrew's for class documentary-watching.  King of Kong was great, but a comment made in teasing upset me more personally than it should and I reacted strongly in anger.  I drove home fuming, only to receive an apology in my inbox, disproving my earlier beliefs about the person's intended effects. 

getting past the ideal

gave comm theory presentation about mass communication, which led into a meeting about the webpage, possible honors thesis topics, my screenplay, and internship next semester.  am feeling completely lost about the middle two, so andrew's forcing me to come tuesday with 7 research questions and 2 new characters and 12 lines of dialogue in order to push me past my "massive superego that defines all of my decisions before i even make them."  went to watch my actors in the 10-Minute Play festival (while wishing i knew more about psychology) and left proud and grateful for this experience, and hoping to get more involved in theatre once again.

when interactions with people are more memorable than the work done

In class:
"Do you think you're different cultures?"

At lunch:
"I have crew hours."

Building stuff:
"How should we lift this cake?"
"Let me help."
"Okay, well, we need to tilt it now."
"We clearly didn't think this through."
"Why don't you move the couch and split the curtain?? I can't believe it's taking that many of you to do that. I could do it on my own!!"

LAUGH LAUGH HEE-HAW! "He kept trying to get me to drink a beer, while he was already halfway through a twelve pack!"

In one of those dense meetings:
"This is a new episode."

"Maybe he is threatened because you're a woman, and you're strong and independent. But I think this touches a tenuous chord because it's projecting a knowledge that you might not want to adopt here at Malone."
"Yeah. Ever. And I've unfortunately had to do a lot of that this semester."

"Your spiritual autobiography doesn't have to be a victory story."

With Tyler:
"She said that?!"

"I was hoping Melanee would be here so we could compare beards."

At a writers' meeting:
"Can he please have an eye patch???"

"Let's make a revolving doors calendar--that could be our publicity!"
