Call of the Wild Geckos

This was supposed to be posted a few days ago. Technical difficulties.

One of my favourite sounds is geckos. I don't know why, I just love their chatter. I always look when they talk in the general direction of their tickng.

It's been lovely during the day, at night it's been cold. It works, I'm buried in my borrowed bedding.

This week was writing. It was so hard. Writing under pressure when you're out of practice is frustrating. It was script writing, story development, character development etc. Yep, hard. I think I'm learning and retaining. I've taken heaps of notes to go back to if I need to.

The interesting thing is that I think I've been really bored with the world and the more bored I get the more the depression and anxiety acts up aka the world doesn't feel worth living in. I figured this out either yesterday or today. The challenge of the course I thought would make me go crazy and I'd freak out and have a breakdown. The first week came close, but I think that was lingering jet lag and my body cycling out of the previous down phase. Instead I've been stressed over the workload, yet happy as a clam this last week. I love it. Now if I can fix the mistakes in the script and keep improving then yay.

My classmates are amazing and the staff is as well, lol. They keep telling us we will think they're evil and that they hate us. So far nope. I just have been seeing it as helping us to improve our skills. I'm in Australia at film school. I refuse to let it get to me. I am in the middle of an amazing opportunity and I'm going to enjoy all of it. The good, the bad, and the difficult. I may get frustrated, but that's what fuzz therapy (cats) and walks are for. I wish I'd brought my exercize clothes though.

I found a boxed cereal that I wish I could import. Not very sugary and tastes pretty good. It's my snack food to try to reign in the bad snacking. Good thing I'm broke, ha ha.

Tish came by for a study break bearing a value pack of Tim Tams and frozen Coke. Yay! It was much appreciated. Speaking of studying, I have 3 stories to finish, an editing tutorial, and my second draft to finish so I had better get back at it.
