One week of teaching rounds down, two weeks to go! Actually the first week went pretty quickly due to cool supervising teachers and teaching something i actually have an interest in. This week i have taught 10 Things i Hate About you, which i later get to compare to Napoleon Dynamite which is pretty cool.
In my other class i taught conventions of genre and its transition over time, where i got to compare a scene from Dirty Harry to a scene from Fargo (my fave ever movie), so that was pretty cool. Now i am doing story boarding and later a production for a short film using still photos. Next week i am teaching Aliens.

So i am glad that i am teaching film narrative and genre, as opposed to computer editing and animation, which i have no idea about.

I have been staying at my sisters this week and thus have not had a lot of sleep, she insists on sleeping with the tv on and talking at midnight. I would sleep downstairs on the fouton (sp?) but it is too damn cold, and of course has no electric blanket.

I have a shitty uni timetable this semester:

monday 11-1
tuesday 2-5
wednesday 2-5
thursday 11- 4.15

still i should be happy that i do not have to travel on pb doing peak hour in the morning (ala london bombings), although i am sure that they will chnge their m.o here and do it at peak hour at night, around 5ish so i will die. That's just typical. The world is freaking me out.

Ellie and Belinda, tell me your timetables so we can arrange to meet up, i am missing the both of you and feel rather friendless.
