So far we watched a movie last night. We watched one already today and we're watching one tonight. i'm talking dvds. we get them every weekend. i love watching dvds with ed. we've been napping a lot! love it! loving all this good sleep. i feel like if i get good sleep this weekend i won't feel like i wasted my weekend. since its so important for me to relax when i can.
tonight ed will do some paperwork while i dye my hair and quiz myself to prepare for monday's test. all this while we watch iron chef. i love it. :) we're together but doing our own things. getting some work done. then later tonight we'll have dinner and watch our last dvd.
tomorrow we're going to alina's house for tio's surprise bday party. honestly i really don't wanna go. sundays are sooo bad for us. ugh i just know it will ruin our schedule. we have to keep on a tight schedule on sundays. no one understands. anyway i have to go. i'm sure it will be fun, but i have to make sure we stay only for a couple of hours.
i love how i have my food schedule down. i'm soo happy and proud of myself. i don't fall victim to vending machines and fast food, which tends to happen when you're busy with school or work. i eat oatmeal before i leave (6:45am), i eat a mini cereal box when i get there (9:30am), i have a small bag of pretzels in class when i get hungry (10:30am), then i have a sandwich and baked chips at break (11:30am), then i'm pretty set for the rest of the day till i get home. i usually have tuna and celery waiting for me, i eat that with pita (3:30-4pm), then i have dinner around 8pm. so the beginning meals are smaller and closer together and the later meals are bigger and further apart. but it works for me. and thats the most important thing!!

Finished my first week of school :)
It was a great week! :) I actually look forward to going to school every day. I swear though, these guys don't play. They keep me on my toes. Makes it more exciting though. i gotta bring my A game every day.
I do however need some rest. The first week wasn't bad, i'll be honest. Schedule wise. Being tired from the adjustment of waking up at 6:45am is to be expected. I actually had to change my wake up time to 6:30 so i wouldn't be late for the bus. The only thing thats a bit rough is that i feel like i have no free time during the week. I mean i have some time to check my email when i get home but then i have to take a nap, yes i HAVE to (found that out the hard way) and on the days i have homework i could be working on it all day/night. so its been hard to keep in touch with people. so i am looking forward to having some time to relax and not be on such a tight schedule.
tomorrow i have to wake up early, though not as early, to take ed to work so i can have the car. i have to run some errands and go to school at 2pm. my teacher is shooting something and he thought it would be a good idea to have us come in and watch and get some practical shoot experience. it'll be a good way to observe and get a head start on the practical application of the stuff i'll learn later.
i have to say i'm really loving having fridays off. the classes aren't tiring. its the waking up early but mostly the bus thing. it tires me out.
this is a pic of the federal building downtown. i have to wait in front for my 2nd bus.
this is US1/Biscayne Blvd. this is the street i have to cross when i get off the bus in NMB. you can't tell but its 4 lanes in both directions.

First Day of School
From what I can remember...
The bus wasn't bad at all. Didn't have to wait for any of them. Had a seat. Got to class. Went great. On the way home though the mp3 player crashed so i had to go like 45 min without. not fun. downtown reaks of piss. came home and was surprisingly awake and in a good mood.
Ok school details. We get a macbook PRO 15''! cool huh? we took our student ID pics. there were only 2 other people in class. there are 4 of us in total but one is an international student so he starts next week. the teacher is super cool. he curses and makes jokes. its a very laid back atmosphere. i was amazed at all the stuff we'll be learning. like wow. i'm gonna be so freaking impressive when i get out of here. also i'll never be able to watch movies the same way again. so they tell me. because i'll be looking at it from a technical/filmmaker point of view.
i'm really being forced to break out of my comfort zone and reach out to people, talk to them, work with them on projects, ask them for help, help them, i'm really gonna have to work on my networking skills. which is a good thing. i need that.
there will be some extra costs for software that we don't NEED to buy but should. its the diff between having something on your own laptop and having to go to the lab. but thats another thing. i wanna do stuff on my laptop at home. but i need to get a certain amount of lab hours. which is another thing that forces me out of my comfort zone. another cool thing? we have a green screen room!! its awesome! the facilities are amazing. seriously. i'm just really glad i found this place and i can't wait to learn!
i'm a little intimidated. it all sounds really advanced but we'll see if my puny bran can do it. :)
the only thing that would make everything more fun and better would be driving to school. but oh well.

ANXIETY ATTACK!
omg omg omg omg. the rational part of my brain is saying don't worry. i know its not a big deal. i know what i have to do. i know the route. school is fine i don't have to perform, i can dress comfy, there's nothing to make me feel uncomfortable. i'll be fine. the problem is that rational part is being completely drowned out by the irrational crazy part that just screams "i'm scared! omg i'm scared! help me!" why? why?? because i know i have something big to do tomorrow. whenever there's something important i have to do, even something as small as getting off at a certain stop on the train to something big like a job interview, i get a serious anxiety attack. you should see me before i have to get on a plane.
ugh anyway. i can't help it. its totally taking over right now. i need to do something to release it.
