Okay, so it's been a month since Fall classes started. My life has been full of weekly quizzes, taking notes for the class I'm a TA for, and struggling to learn Photoshop and After Effects.
In my Short Form Production class, I am the producer of a music video. There are just two other people in my group, and it has been pretty cool so far. We are working with a local artist named Dusty Pas'cal, who sings modern folk music. The song we are using, "Home," is really nice. We shot him at his home last Saturday, and he has the most adorable children ever.
My department at Syracuse, Newhouse, had a week of activities for the dedication of its third building. The outside of Newhouse III is wrapped with the First Amendment on its glass walls, and the entire building looks futuristic. It's full of lounges, a new auditorium, and mementos from American history.
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the dedication message on September 19. I watched it in a live broadcast in one of the studios of Newhouse II. Bob Costas, a Newhouse alum, held an open-mic discussion in the auditorium on Friday. I couldn't get in because many students lined up hours in advance, but I watched it in the new food court.
I haven't had that much time to go out, but I have done a few things. Bill Bellamy came to SU a few weeks ago. Two words--hilarious and hot. Alonzo Bodden was the opening act, but he wasn't that funny. I also went to a performance of "The Phantom of the Opera" because I'm a huge musical lover. I laughed, I cried, I took pictures with my cameraphone during intermission.
One good thing about this semester is that I have to read newspapers every week for my TV Business quiz. I always wanted to be the type of person who just sits down and reads the New York Times. The only problem is that I always wait until the day before to read the articles about the media. Procrastination has been a major problem this semester, as usual, but I hope that I can fix that soon.
I started going to a campus church service on Sundays. It's pretty high-tech compared to what I'm used to. The pastor uses the internet and a screen to display bible verses, and the leaders of praise and worship play gospel songs from a website. It feels good to be back in church because I have been feeling a void in my Sundays since I've been in Syracuse.
The reason that I'm up late writing this tonight is because I only have classes on Monday-Thursday. I've got a busy weekend ahead doing work for my job and shooting the video. Maybe I will get things back on track over the next few days.
