Just registered for classes.
Monday
Screenwriting II, 6:30pm to 9:20pm
All the good teachers' classes are already closed :( so I got the least shitty teacher who apparently isn't too bad, but his personality is whack. Bad taste in movies, once told a class he's only teaching until he finds a real job. Um, ok. Breayne may take this class with me so hopefully I'll get through it. Until then, I'm feverishly hitting the refresh button on the class's schedule in hopes of one of the better classes opening up.
Tuesday - FUCKING CHAOS but I'm actually excited about it.
9am-11:50 - Intro to Creative Nonfiction
This may change cause my advisor said it would cover my advanced writing credit but as of now it's not coming up as such in my advising guide. I really wanna take this, though, so hopefully he'll work it out for me.
12:30-3:20 - Environmental Science
Figured I took it in high school so it shouldn't be too bad. It's a lab, which I need, and was my second choice (first choice: Dinosaur class, but of course everyone wants to take it and there's only two sections of it.)
3:30-4:50 (Tuesday and Thursday) - History of Mexico and Central America
I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED FOR THIS. I looked up the teacher and his name's Jose Lopez, looks cuddly, curses too much, and you are warned not to take this class if you are easily offended. FUCK. YES. AHHHHHHHH.
6:30-9:20 - Producing I
Excited about this since I've just recently discovered my taste for Assistant Directing (I'm ADing for THREE films this semester. Can't waiiiit!!)
So yeah, besides the shitty screenwriting teacher, it should be a good semester. The only thing I'm worried about is getting to my History of Mexico class but it's only a block away so I should be all right. I like having most of my shit clumped together because it'll give me more time to work - I'm most likely going to be working as a teacher's assistant and since the classes I'll be working in at 4 hours long, it's just easier to have whole days free to work. And if the screenwriting class I have my eye on opens up, then it'll be on Thursdays so I'll have Mondays completely free. DEAR GOD PLEASE.
Other than all that, the next few weeks will be fucking chaos. Production time. Starting Friday I'll be working on sets for 10 days straight. Friday-Sunday will be shooting my film. Monday-Wednesday I'm ADing for my friend Aren. Thursday and Friday I'm ADing for my friend Andrew, and Saturday and Sunday I'm ADing for Breayne. Holy. Fuck. In that I also have to find time to finish my paper for Gay and Lesbian Studies. And right now I'm supposed to be finishing my production pack for my film which is due tomorrow. I still have to finish the shot list and I haven't even started my story boards because I fucking hate story boards they're so stupid SHUT UP I HAVE A VISION AND IT'S IN MY HEAD GRR I'M A PRETENTIOUS FILMMAKER AND WANT TO DO THINGS MY WAY.
My mom and cousin will be here in 17 days. CAN'T WAIT! Oh, and I'll be 19 a few days after. Weird.

I had an advising session on Monday, and went in thinking I'd just be figuring out some classes to take for the fall semester. I left being told, "Next spring semester will be your last in Chicago" i.e. I will be in LA after that.
Holy. FUCK.
I am so fucking anxious. I did not sleep at all Monday night. Just kind of laid in bed til around 4 thinking about anything and everything that could happen. Scratch that - will happen. I need to get that in my head so I get all the shit done that I need to do. I need to have my CCP credits transferred. I need to take another class or two in the summer. I need to apply for my own loans (I don't even know where to go for that - help?)
Jack called last night, I hadn't heard from him in a while so that was nice. He said I'd have a place to stay until I get my shit together when I make the move, so that was a huge relief since I assume I'll be without a job when I first get out there.
I'll be graduated before I turn 21.
Wow, it's just so weird to think that the thing I've been wanting to do is going to happen years sooner.

Not too much going on..
I've been missing people a lot lately. My little taquito's been on a road trip so we haven't talked too much which is understandable though - I hope he's having a good time. They hit the grand canyon yesterday and should be in Vegas today. His name is Shag, I don't think I mentioned that last time. And we all refer to him as [insert random Spanish ANYTHING here, i.e. taquito, burrito, Paco, etc. lol). But yes, I miss him a lot and I hate crushes because I don't like not being able to control my emotions and I can't control that I think about him all the time. It's cute I guess.
I also miss my best friend. There's not much to say about that. It's a give in that I would miss her considering she's 800 miles away Sonic-ing it up and such. I think my time here in Chicago has been pretty close to perfect but her being here would make it 100%.
I miss my cat, too. I just wanna cuddle something and even though she hates cuddling, there's nothing wrong with forced cuddling. I don't mind holding her down with all my body weight just to pet her with my face. She hates that. LOLZ CARELAND.
And of course, my mom. When I had my stupid night I called her as soon as I got home the next morning and she made it all better. Her and my cousin Chrissy should be visiting next month which I can't fucking WAIT for.
Which brings me to Chrissy - I miss her so much, and I almost feel guilty for being away. She's pregnant. I want to be there so bad. I want to be at every doctor's visit, I want to see the ultra sound. I'm most likely going to miss the birth (she's due around Halloween!!) and that just makes me so sad. She's not just like a sister to me - she IS a sister to me, and I hate that I'm missing such important shit. But I guess that's what I have to pay for packing up to pursue my dreams and all that bullshit.
