Make-It Monday - Embracing Changes

bitmoji_goalsOkay, so last week I finished a skit for our fund-raiser and I had my first day of placement, which was decent. I also completed Act One of my feature film script and peer reviewed a friend's Act One.

We once had groups based on genre that we counted on to review our work. Then the teacher realized a bunch of people no longer wanted to write features, so they were given the option to write two short films instead. Well, that caused a bit of a problem because the people writing shorts preferred to review shorts and the people writing features were left in the lurch. I was one such person left with no one to review my stuff. I asked my teacher what would happen if there was no one to review my work. She told me I wasn't the only one and she regrouped us.

I was scared with who I might end up grouped with, but my new group is amazing! We're all good workers and I think we're really going to help each other elevate our writing to a new level :D

One of the members is my partner for an original TV series, so I already know we work well together. She's who I traded my work with last anyway. The other two are people I've been hoping to get a chance to work with. I'm enjoying reading their work. Actually, one was so good I kept reading it when I probably should have been going to sleep...

Anyway, I'm super excited for the rest of the semester now!

I'm also getting used to the schedule change and it's not so bad really. I mean, I don't love being up so early on Monday that I can see the sun rise from the bus, but I do like how much time I have to do things once I get home.

I submitted a pitch for the short film I already wrote to my teacher. That was an optional assignment for no marks, but it may get me more notice in Toronto in April, so I figured it was worth a try. Earlier today, I handed in an assignment in my play writing course. Yesterday I peer reviewed one of the men in my group, so there's one peer review left to do. I also have something to finish for placement. With the TV show one-pager pretty much done, I may actually get time to finish editing chapter two of my novel!

I'm a little behind on my readings, but I swear I will catch up. They're actually helpful readings. Speaking of reading, I'm also reading a book because we have to do a book review of a scriptwriting related book for one class.

Later this week, I also have to finish toying with my career plan, go to placement, and finish fund-raiser related things. Speaking of the fund-raiser, here's the event link in case you're around and want to drop in.

I got a planner the other day to help keep track of all the things. I was sure I'd be drowning soon if I didn't. I have a lot of goals in the mix right now and I think I'm mostly doing okay with them. I added some small new things. Specifically, stop eating cookies everyday. I figure that will help my workout results tremendously.

And that's how the river of life flows today.

The Gauntlet That Was October

I had a lot of things happen in October. I watched Frankenstein in the cemetery with friends. I had tea with a friend. I started a new sport: curling. This is really fun and I'm enjoying the level of activity it provides and all the strategic elements. I'll do a separate post on it soon. Unfortunately, soon after my first game, I came down with Covid and so did the friend who I had tea with, so I think we both caught it at the place we went to. That wasn't fun. I already posted about that. I was fortunate to be free of it in time to attend Can-Con where I took in lots of panels, saw some of the wonderful writer community, bought many new books, and volunteered to help out in the rooms. The following weekend, I went to the livestream for Danielle Allard's new album release, followed by the in person release. As part of this, she has a 6 video series that releases every Sunday on her YouTube at 1:15 PM EDT. Video number 2, Falling Into Place, is one that I feel fortunate

2023 - Week 40

I felt a touch rough on Monday. After exchanging some shoes, I needed electrolytes. The heat with the egg thing made me a bit nauseus. I had lots of fluids before having noodles for dinner. That made me feel better. When Tuesday came about, I was looking forward to what I might be learning at GSL curling in the evening. I was also excited to being on the ice as a break from the unseasonal heat. It's spooky season! It's supposed to be a cool and cuddly time. We should be wearing hoodies (or bunny hugs if you prefer). Instead, I was sweating in jeans as I simply walked from my condo building to my car. Wednesday's plan was streaming, but I also hoped to fit an exchange at Home Depot in as I got the wrong shelf size for a project. Really, my original plan for something didn't work, so I was choosing to go a different way. I did stream, but I didn't get to Home Depot. Thursday featured work followed by packing for my spooky weekend away with friends. I got my oil and my

The PWHL

I've gotten my season tickets for the inaugural season of the Professional Women's Hockey League. I had put my deposit down as soon as it was open. Am I a hockey superfan? No. I enjoy hockey. I started watching it quite a lot during my divorce. I also used to practice my slapshot against the foundation of our house when I was an angst-filled teen. I care about women in sport having amazing opportunities like this. Anyway, some people in the comments section on the posts are truly something. The league posted the schedule, which was more of a calendar without time blocks listed. They happened to post that on the day that priority purchasing was opened for the season tickets.  So then there are a bunch of people who didn't put deposits down that were complaining they can't buy tickets yet. Makes total sense 😒 And then there were a bunch of other people complaining that nothing has been announced on the streaming and televisation of the games. Some were even suggesting th
