Department meeting: 1.5 hrs
Grading final film round: 4.5 hrs
Film Kid Mixer: 3 hrs
FKM setup/takedown: 3hrs
BYOFF: 3 hrs
Make up class:7.5 hrs


I know this is longer than a week, but with the SECOND snow day and the make up class, I felt that it is appropriate. I also realize that we shouldn't include the time actually spent in class, but I just wanted to add it in there because I feel like this week has been a blur and it helps keep me oriented with what I did this week. 

ANYWAYS. I thought the film kid mixer went really well. I was very nervous and very hyper the whole time, but I think once we really started to get people to talk to each other (after like ~30 min) everyone was getting a long and having fun. Even after a lot of people left and it was more of an intimate group, there were still many kids that I had not known before that were able to really get to know who they were talking to and play games and stuff. All in all, I'm very pleased with how it turned out and how much everyone helped me out. Go Visions team!! 

As for the make up day, I also think that went very, very well. I know people probably weren't looking forward to it (8am on a Saturday???), but everyone really pulled through and we got so much done. I'm every impressed. I know I start getting antsy towards the end, I really am paying attention and understand the importance of what we're discussing and why it needs to be discussed in detail, I've just never been good at sitting or being in one place for that many hours. I am sad that some of my favorite films got cut, but that's the business and I am positive that our team will do a great job of programming the best of everything.
