Well...Today Sucked

I hope that I don't have to say this again during the next two years; but today sucked. I woke up, happy to take on the world, but that feeling didn't last forever.

In my acting class, our teacher asked us to bring in a scene that we wrote, and we would act it out in class. I took in a scene from the pilot episode of the tv show I wrote when I first left Philly. I was actually really excited about it. The teacher picked two students that I wouldn't have necessarily picked to do the scene, but I was still excited. The acting was not what I wanted, and I tried to direct the scene. The teacher stopped me and said, "I think this might just be a case where the writing is bad." Needless to say, that stung a little. So my jolly little mood quickly became not so jolly.

Then, in my directing class, we screened the movies that we shot over the weekend. We all went into this screening not feeling proud of our projects, and then our teacher just reiterated what we already new: our movies sucked. One by one he broke them all down and told us to redo them. It was just so disheartening.

So, worst day ever. And here's hoping that we never have another day like this one. I'm laying in bed, watching "Bad Teacher". This movie is lifting me up. :)
