Now What?

Alright, so I'm officially finished with my first semester in graduate school. Now I have free time, its just....what do I do with it all??

Actually I've got lots of things up my sleeve. I'm finally going to be able to sit down and play a computer game I've been keeping aside called "The Movies". I also want to try and put together a short screenplay for a contest that is being made available to BU students (Grand Prize: $2000 and a trip to LA to meet producers and studio execs etc....)

Other than that I plan on using my free passes to the Brattle and HFA to go see as many movies as possible, so keep your eyes peeled on the IRB page...now that I have time there should be a lot of reviews being posted in the next couple of weeks.

Really though, its amazing how quickly time has passed. It seems like just yesterday that I was on a plane flying out here, eager to start on my master's degree. One quick blink and its 4 and half months later.......I'm reminded of a recent Godard film that we watched called In Praise of Love. In the film one of the characters says "Isn't it interesting, in fact, how things only take on meaning once they are about to end." To which the reply is "That's because history is coming in with a big 'H'". But even beyond that I particularly like the idea that "In order to think of something, one must think of something else".

So basically I'm just writing 'something'.....any way, to all my friends in Colorado and elsewhere, I hope you all are doing well and have a Merry Christmas and New Year. I wish I could come back to visit everyone, but financially it didn't work out.

....oh and the picture is of my friends and classmates out to lunch with our professor to celebrate the end of the semester.
