I have to do a short film for school and I have decided to bring back Centered. It was a good script and I really wanted to do it last summer, but it never panned out. A couple of things that I am going to work on is Shot Selection and Storyboarding. These are two things that I need. That’s all for today.

I did not really want to write anything here today, but I decided that I needed to. I started my Non-linear editing class today with Dennis Ryan. He seems like a great guy. Travels here everyday from Youngstown of all places and seems to enjoy himself. I think that his class is going to be a lot of fun. I have decided that my final project, which needs to be a short film, will be a good chance to resurrect my Centered project. It may make it easier to have some closure on it. That is all for today.

Today has been an interesting day for me. I started a new semester with my Online Astronomy 152 class. This is a little more in depth than the first class. I am looking forward to it. Tomorrow I will be starting a non-linear editing course from Prof. Dennis Ryan who I hear is great. I cannot wait until this class starts tomorrow.
In other news my good friend Jason Griffaw left for the army today. I know that I am going miss him over the next couple of months. He is a wise man and has been a good friend to me for a very long time. I look forward to seeing him again and know that I will.
I also spoke out loud about the type of movie that I want to make. As I get further along in my education I find that my opinions are becoming more solid and that telling a story that I want to on the screen has become more important to me. That’s all I have for today.

As I sit here writing about what my day is like I wonder what it is that I have to do to get people to stop speaking to me like I am child, but I quickly realize that in truth I can prevent it. I had a great manager at Teletech named Helen who liked me a lot. When I got back from the Philippines she took me in and made me a trainer, one of the things that she said that she liked about my training style was “I treated the people that I was training like they were adults. ” Remembering what she said to me was so important, because that is the truth of who I am. I treat people with respect and in so doing it is a reflection of me as a person. The people that choose to treat me like a child are only reflecting themselves. That is all for today.

I have been spending much of my break between semesters playing Star Wars: The Old Republic. I love the game and the thrill that it gives me, but what I love most about it is the cinematic feel that it has, this of course reminds of one thing. I need to be directing more. I look at what I have accomplished in the break and to be honest it is not that much. I have written a little, come up with a half a dozen usable ideas, but in the end I have done little. Time to do more.
