my mom had to drop me off today, so my dad could take car of the car... which wasnt that bad because i didnt have any breaks between classes today where i would have wanted to leave, and at least i didnt have to suffer through the wrath of the parking lot
my first class was fun.. kind of... in it's own way...
My other class was Photography which I was dreading since last thursday when he said we were developing our film today.. I wasnt sure how that was gonna work-- he acted like we'd be on our own for that...
we ended up working in groups-- pairs pretty much...
Loading the film on the reel was kinda scary for a sec-- but i got the hang of it...
Developing and al the chemicals.. oy.. it was a little hellish for a while because i had no idea if i was doing it right..
and all of us girls kept asking this one guy for instructions cause he appeared to know what he was doing.
SO finally we finish.. it took forever..
The girl i was working with-- two or three of hers looked like pictures and the rest of the negatives could have been used to make sunglasses...
Almost all of mine came out looking normal-- well, some might not be so great, but at least the picture was visible, and i think i did get a few good ones...i'll see on thursday when i print them
So--in other news-- I met some boys today! YAY *Sigh of relief*
But they weren't guys that I am or will ever be interested in....actually, maybe one of them..but i dunno. But they were cool, and knew a lot about movie directors-- like one's i've never heard of. I felt very uncultured... but whatever. So hopefully I've made some friends.. I also hung out with other girls in my photo class.. we all struggled through the developing process together... out of everyone i learned two of the guy's names..but that's better than nothing... One of them is in my media writing class as well-- he came up to me and asked me if we had another class together.. (the way i should do with the other guy who is in my photo class and comm. class.. but...i'm shy... so sue me....)
anyways....
Hopefully I will meet more people tomorrow.. The only two people I had really spoken to much till today are not people i would be hanging out with (one is a middle aged woman...i was paired with her for my media class interview...the other is in my narrative wriiting class and is in his 30's, married, with a 4 year old daughter--she is adorable, he brought her to class the other week cause her school hadnt started yet.) Anyways, he is nice, but i need some friends my age...and of the other three people in my narrative writing, temporary workshop group, one is also older-- but not so friendly... and kinda critical.. another is a woman who seems to be at least 30... and the other is about my age, but she kinda puzzles me...i dunno.. but hopefully my writing class will bond a little.. my writing class in junior college did that within our workshop groups.
in more other news, I got my mail order package today ZUMBA!!!!
yay... it is the Zumba Workout tapes-- i watched part of the steps inastruction video-- it is very hard, and kinda painful, but it is still dancing and really fun.. I will see how that works out.. i need to get back into a regular workout routine... I've lost a bunch of weight since I've started school- but it doesnt count because of the weight i gained from stress last year.... anyways, at least i feel almost okay about myself again...that was very iffy for a while. Its weird to get to a point where you feel comfortable in your own skin (after not feeling that way for practically ever) and then having it jerked out from under you...its worse than being there the first time... i never would have expected it to be that bad....oh well, now that i've already suffered through that, i know i will be better for having learned that... and this time i'm not stopping until i am in a size negative 4... Just kidding, no one freak out.... i dont know what size i would be when i am satisfied with myself-- because when i was a size 20, i always thought 10 would be okay-- and maybe in my wildest dreams, an 8....
I got all the way down to 8 and realized i wasn't quite there--- so i dunno... because i was heavy from late elementary school--only chubby then, then enormous in the first half of high school, but because of that, i dont know what my body frame size would be, when i am through.... but i'm very sensible about that-- and i wouldnt want to be stick thin.. and i dont think that would be physically possible with my body shape... but I am only 5'6 so my guesstimate for now is a size 4..we'll see if that ends up satisfying me--hopefully by the spring.. in time for me to audition for a play--- that is gonna be my plan.. if i can figure out how to keep taking singing lessons and get down a couple pounds, I can put myself in the running for a female lead, like i've always wanted...i'd like to try out for Catherine in Pippin ( i hear valley college is doing that) though, I'd also really like to try for the Grandmother-- she has an awesome song...
And to quote her
"OH it's time to start livin
Time to take a little from the world we're givin
Time to take time, for Spring will turn to fall
in just no time at all"
--i miss the stage...
oh yeah, and if i dont do Pippin, i just found out CSUN is doing Company-- which i dont know, but i do know is Sondheim, who i adore
