102% = A+

I had my first test today! That's right, grad students take tests, and this grad student aced it! Our cinematography teacher told us last week that we would have a test today over the Arri S camera. Naturally, we all groaned. We're filmmakers. Filmmakers don't have to take tests. Our films are all the proof that you need that we've been paying attention and learning. The teacher emailed us a review sheet, and then I scheduled a review session, just to make sure I milked his brain. Unfortunately, I only got 2 out of 3 of the bonus questions right, so I didn't get the perfect score of 103%. Either way, your girl still has an A+ average in grad school!!!!!

Ready for some more big news? Damon Wayans is doing an 8 week filmmaking program at my school. I saw him today. We've been told several times that we're not allowed to approach celebs at school. However....if he hadn't been in a full fledge conversation, I maybe might have gone up and started talking to him. Maybe.

After the Damon spotting, I had another celeb sighting. Gary Oldman was standing outside of the school building, smoking a cigarette. I didn't have anything to say to him, but it was nice to know that if ever I wanted to see a celebrity, all I have to do is go to school!

This upcoming weekend, I will be shooting my 8-week film project. I think I've only been in school for 5 weeks...but maybe by the time we're all done filming and editing, it will be 8 weeks. Pretty exciting stuff.
