Week 1: Famous Last Words

This semester is already a whirlwind in the process and I’m a helpless bystander just trying to survive. Last semester! Those two words are not ones I thought I’d ever seen, hear or speak, but here I am. I’ve gone through my preemptive graduation check and I have applied online, and it’s like all the strings to this chapter of my life are being tied up right before my eyes. Now if only I can do well in my classes for this semester!

As for classes, they’re going pretty well. I’m taking three creative writing-esque classes and I’m so excited for them. One is this class, then the other two are a short screenplay writing class and a TV writing class. I’ve taken classes of the same sort with both, just different teachers and what not, so I’m ready for the fun! I get to write like five short screenplays and the pilot for an original TV show. I’m sure in about six weeks my famous last words post will talk about how I want to die from stress and work, but right now I’m pumped! I already know what one of my short screenplays will be and I have a few ideas about what to do for my TV pilot, so hey, I’m already ahead.

In my personal life, I am reacquainting myself with my long lost love: TV. Brilliant, right? “Catch up on all your fave TV shows the first week of classes, Tia, everything will be fine if you do that!” NOT! So now I’m finally catching up on Supernatural, Arrow, Once Upon a Time, Grimm, Penny Dreadful, and more, along with all my shows I’m caught up on and currently watching. It’s a struggle I willingly put myself in like the psycho that I am. But I think (HOPE HOPE HOPE) this semester goes well, because I need it to. I’ve got to lead a club this semester, pass the GRE, apply to grad school programs and more, all while leading the night life with my overnight job. Needless to say, I’m stressed! So wish me luck!
