It's been a crazy week so far. We get to watch 2 movies a week that are deep, sometimes intense. Tonights was a rough one (Dogville). For most of my friends I don't recommend it.
Other than the technical teaching (story basics, pitching a film idea) we were taught on worldview. It was very interesting. I don't know about the others (due to the age gap), but it was more clarifying and putting labels on things I have seen over the years. It made me aware of how the very common post modern worldview has started to infiltrate my thinking as my sphere of contact and social websites have grown and influenced me. I have never really liked the term influenced because it is powerful yet feels like it is subtle and not a conscious choice. That, however, is another topic I started in a notebook back home. I'd have to dig it out before I expound on it. Got off topic, sorry. It just reiterates how I need to keep the foundation of my worldview that is not as wrong as people want others to think it is.
The workload has begun to be heavy, and it is only going to get worse. My infection is slowly going away, but I got some vitamin C/zinc/garlic pills to give it the extra kick. I swear it isn't contageous, but I've been trying to be careful anyways.
The cat up the street comes to see me every time I walk past and it's outside. Today I thought it wasn't going to let me leave, then a man came up the street and it ran back to its chair. I also got caught in a rain storm, which did involve thunder and lightening. It was a bit close to me. After I got back there was a rainbow at sunset. The best part was how the angle was different than I'm used to. It went higher up like a huge circle vs the lower angle ones I'm used to from home.
Anyhoo, I have a tonne of reading to finish by tomorrow. It turns out the reading is the hardest most frustrating part for me, for no reason other than the volume of it in the time frame neccessary. Pray I don't lose my mind over the course of the next few months.
