FILM SCHOOL IS SO COOL
the building is amazing
the location is amazing
the feel of the place is amazing
the attitude of the staff is amazing
it's buzzing, it's so busy there and there are so many people around,
doing important things i suppose
during my lunch break they were playing Psycho (with the sound off and subs on)
i'm so excited to get totally immersed here for two years
literally
i have never been so happy to be connected to and rooted in a place
and to know that i'll be here for two years
i want to make every moment count
i can't wait to be a filmmaker
i feel like the last month, with the last two projects i have done
and now this start here
has really confirmed that this is what i want to do
and i'm so glad that i found it now, at 18/19
and that i have direction at last
and it's crazy because i made the decision to come here
when my mind was so clouded and cluttered and foggy at the best of times
and yet?? i seem to have made this kind of real life-changing decision
and it actually works for me
and i questioned it a lot of the time when i was moving out of that fog
but i guess i had just enough craziness to know that actually it could work
because i think sometimes, when your mind is too clear,
it picks up all the reasons why things "wouldn't work"
and focuses on that
but really i guess one positive about going through a time of being so incredibly impulsive and obsessive that one idea consumes you and changes your life and its course entirely
is that actually
when you start to walk out of it the other side, you remember the plans and delusions or whatever they are, that you made, and you start to see how broad your horizon mind and ambition actually is when it isn't hindered by the "practical" and the "realities"
and then you know that in that state you actually saw a truth about yourself
that you wouldn't have stopped to notice if you were busying yourself living life properly
if that makes sense
okay anyway the moral of the story is
if you find yourself making life-changing decisions when you have the crazies
...they just might be mad enough to work for you
