“You're such an inspiration for the ways that I'll never ever choose to be…”

School has finally starting to go from poking-myself-to-stay-awake-boring, to sort of exciting. Our class spent our first substantial amount of time in the television reporting and editing studio today. It was kind of exciting to actually do something substantial. I wish I could say the same about my Editing class. I realize its only been a few weeks sof class so far but I’m ready to throw those damn machines across the room. Although, this brings to light the greater issue of my getting close enough to one to indeed, do that. We have four machines for 24 people and its impossible for everyone to get a turn. Not only that but two of them have been breaking down in the last two weeks, only adding fuel to the fire, as they say. Then there’s the typical nature of people, who hog them. This makes is quite an easy task to lose ones place or simply not understand the process at all. Fast forward to two weeks from now when our class will be tested on the material and have to perform certain edit functions on these machines in front of our teacher for marks. Cut to me hitting myself over the head with a blunt object in the vacant hope of avoiding the whole thing. *sigh Well at least I can drink and be social at Matt Danko’s formal potluck dinner this evening and forget about such troubles for at least one more day.
