ELECTION DAY, FUCK YEAH!!!!

ELECTION DAY!!! FUUUUCKK YEAH!!!!! YOUNGINS MUST VOTE TO SAVE THE MUTHAFUCKIN' WORLD, YEAH!!! ELECTION DAY, FUCK YEEEEEAAAAAAH!!!!

(obviously to the tune of "America (Fuck Yeah)")



In other news, we're screening our studio project that I edited tomorrow! AAAAND I'm teaching "Heart of the Matter" tomorrow!!! AND IT'S ELECTION DAY!!!! (fuck YEAH)!!!!

Also, I just HAVE to tell about my week.

So the other night, I told a JILLION people that I wanted to bake with them, but specifically intended on Andrea and Jenn O to bake with me... but then I had to cancel because my meetings and crap got too intense. BUUUUUT I felt good because Andrea's birthday dinner was on Sunday. So I'm in the theater watching Zack and Miri Make a Porno with Caroline and I get a text from Andrea telling us where to meet for her birthday. BUT I HAVE CHORDS!!! So I was like "how could I POSSIBLY forget that???!!" I just felt SOOOO SAD because I had to cancel on her twice in a row and this time it was her birthday. SOOOO I was worried she was going to think I was trying to blow her off and so I decided I would treat her to dinner this week. So I thought the week through and realized there was ABSOLUTELY NO WAY! And I'll tell you why.

Monday:
-9:30am-11 work
-11-12:30 tv writing class
-12:30-3 free (/watched 30 Rock and ate cheese, crackers and mustard)
-3:30-7pm edited studio project
-7-7:30- ate a sandwich with project team
-7:30-9:15 found a location and shot Kool Aid commercials for our studio shoot
-9:30 on watched 30 Rock, my mens (Stewart, Colbert, Letterman, Ferguson), and HOPEFULLY some episodes of Sex and the City and SOME reading!!! (PLEASE BLYTHE)

Tuesday:
9:30am-1pm work (btw, my work is NO LONGER SITTING AND DOING NOTHING. I got switched (which is fine because I never did work anyway))
1-4pm class
4ish-5 hopefully watching a required episode of Sopranos
5ish-6:30- let's be honest, PROBS NOTHING (but HOPEFULLY READING)
7-10-Chords (teaching "Heart of the Matter")
10ish -11- Stewart Colbert Election Fever
11-1:30am- my mens
1:30am- however long it takes - I need to write 3-5 pages of script for Sex and the City (and mine is going to be judged by the class because I was randomly selected) AAAAAND REEEAD for Producing AAAAND do some one page thing AAAAND have 10 articles on the FDA and pharmiceudical companies. I honestly need to do all of these things... even the reading because she's going to ask us questions and she told us that if anyone didn't know an answer, she would start quizzing us on our reading (threat) and I OBVIOUSLY can't be the person to drop the ball.

Wednesday:
7-9:30 I can predict I will be finishing something up
9:30-11 (shower, print stuff out, eat breakfast, go to class)
11-12:30 class
12:30-6 finishing what I need to do for producing AAAAAAAAAND finish editing (OH GOD... just remembered that) (thank GOD I don't have anthro this week)
6-9pm class
9 to end... relax

Thursday:
sleep in because I don't work on Thursdays anymore (turns out I can only work 5 hours if I want to have work study money for the whole year... which brings me to another point about how I need another job.... because I will now be making like... $45 a week...)
Then I have to read all of the articles for food anthro this week and write a paper on them... apparently. AND I need to do my entire food anthro journal because I don't know what the topic is yet... buuuuh
Then I have some concert-ish thing for Chords ... from MAYBE 730-830 (HOPEFULLY)
-9-9:30 The Office
-9:30-10 30Rock
-10-10:30 whatever I want/ It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
-10:30-11 whatever I want (this means that I am not going to DIE if I don't watch these things)/ Testees
-11-1:30 my talk show mens

YES. My life IS sad on Thursdays. I don't care. I'm a television major!!! Non-syndicated television has changed my life... and I'm not sure it's for the better (but maaaaaybe it is...)
(Also, I need to say that I took this poll about blog-readers on perezhilton.com and I felt like they kind of knew me. Like ... they asked me which talk shows I watch regularly and I felt like I was exaggerating to write so many... but I REALLY WASN'T! And they asked me how many blogs I read... and whether I had one etc etc and I wasn't exaggerating about that either!! They knew me)

Friday:
Mornings are now free... so I only need to wake up if I drop the ball on food anthro.
3-4 food anthro
5:30 I need to do a sound check because it's BU Night of A Capella which starts at like 7.
Then I'll do what I want at like 9...

Saturday:
I must navigate myself to some recording studio and we (Chords) are going to record ALL DAY. From 10am (that's when I ARRIVE) to ... UNDETERMINED!! But this is going to take all day. I bet I will be dining with the peeps (which is fine/great).

Sunday:
Free until 630 when I have to leave for Chords at 7pm (to 10)... and I'll PROBS have something due for tv writing that Monday.

So you see... I CAN'T EVEN EAT ALONE!! Let alone invite someone to dinner!!! Unless they want the early bird special on SUNDAY!!!!

Also, I gotta say, even though I understand that being a science major or something of the like is hard... almost definitely harder than being a tv major (and presumably WAY less fun... but I don't know... maybe not for them)... but on this studio project (2 week project.. our third one so far), we did over 2 hours of planning, an hour + of shooting (that was in class), 8 hours SO FAR (and a REAL 8 hours... no food breaks... and only ONE bathroom break between those two editing sessions)... and I bet I have another 1-2 hours (definitely not less... HOPEFULLY not more) to go with editing, and 1+ more hours of shooting superfluous stuff. These are REAL hours... NO BREAKS. And that's for ONE CLASS... and my other classes have a LOT of shit too... and we have to be FUNNY! And I don't usually even worry about this class...

I'm not saying it isn't a blast... but it isn't easy or something you can do last minute at ALL (well... the filming).
(also that was a projection to my own insecurity about my "easy major")

AAAAAAAAALSO... on a non-time related subject... I feel like I've been too introspective recently.... and I feel like that makes one REALLY self-involved.... which then makes me feel like a shithead. ALSO... it gives me too much of an opportunity to define myself... which I hate because I try to fit into the mold that I JUST created. FOR INSTANCE, I was telling Caroline about how I'm terrible at directions. I say this CONSTANTLY and almost everytime I feel like a butt afterwards because... I feel like that just makes it worse. Like... it gives me an excuse if I can't find my way. Like... I should just TRY HARDER... I shouldn't just give up because I feel like finding my way around doesn't come naturally. I just don't want to do it... I don't want to be exclusively messy. I don't want to be always on time (or always late). I don't want to explain why I always dress the way I do because it just encourages the repetition. I don't care that I do these things... but I want to have the personal and social flexability to change. I ASSUME everyone does.

So DON'T PUT ME IN A BOX, (BLYTHE). I used to say that ALL the time... and I need to bring it back... but for myself. I don't want to box myself into my own stupid categories.

So in conclusion:
-I need to settle my time situations... but everyone, I'm sure, is in the same position.
-I am, as of today, officially not going home for Thanksgiving... for the first time in my life.
-I know and trust myself enough that I don't need to define myself anymore.
-VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE! I will judge you if you don't. And you're kind of a bitch. Sorry but like... that's just retarded.

ELECTION DAY! FUCK YEAH!!! GO OUT AND VOTE AND SAVE THE MUTHAFUCKIN' WORLD YEAH! ELECTION DAY! FUCK YEEEEAAAAAH!!!

I LOVE your election day song!!!! I was just watching Team America two nights ago and I naturally thought of you and Natalya. Remember when Natalya had a whole philosophy about how that movie explained the world or something? I was trying to remember the specifics... but alas...
