I haven’t been getting the chance to write lately. I don’t know if it’s because when I’m not going to practice for a game or shooting a segment or rehearsing lines, I’m at work, or doing homework, or sleeping. But another factor playing a big role these days is, here it comes, the biggie…
College.
Now, college has always been something that comes up in the endless thought process that is my mind, but lately, it’s much more frequent than usual. In fact, our BRACE advisor in school popped into my English class for a bit to tell us some things we need to know about the SAT and the ACT, requirements for certain schools, service hours, scholarship opportunities; things of that nature. And now, I’m kind of freaking out. Okay, not really FREAKING exactly, but going through that “What do I even want to do with my life?” phase.
Aside from that, I’ve been balancing many an activity on my plate. Perhaps, too much for me to handle, but I’m finding ways. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I have lacrosse practice and sometimes on one of those days I have a game. While my boss has generously worked around my schedule, I basically work mostly Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. And when I’m not running around with sticks and I’m not placing raspberries delicately on a mountainous swirl of frozen yogurt, I’m studying lines for the upcoming musical opening in two weeks! And then there’s CTV, which I can lend a hand to anyone during class, but don’t exactly have the time for any individual projects of my own. Thankfully, I only have English and American History as my only core classes this semester, two subjects I consider more from an elective standpoint. Other than that, I’m dead tired about 85% of the time. And I wish I could spend more time with my friends more than anything, but unfortunately, that’s not much of an option at this point.
To leave off in a good note, here are some photographs by one of my favorite director/photographer, Chris Milk. He made the video a couple of posts down titled “The Last Daydream.” I couldn’t pick just a few to show.
I think photographs of people are my favorite though. Because each person in the world is like an entirely different piece of artwork all their own.
