kasihyaIt's snowing, which given that I'm in the middle of New York State is not all that strange. There's just a lot of people here from downstate who are like 'SNOOOOOOOOOOOOW NOOOOOOOOOOOOO' and I'm like, 'Dudes, you made the choice to come to this school, now deal.'
But more importantly, I had my dialogue read - the one between Neil and Jack - and everything went better than expected. The two guys who read it did a good job, although I failed to project my voice when reading the narration as usual, and people laughed. They laughed at two points which were supposed to be funny, and I am sort of ridiculously proud of myself for being able to be funny which is not something I'm known for outside of my immediate family. I sort of fudged it when the professor asked about the characters, I said they're living together, because I was in a fuzzy anxious haze and felt stupid. Then immediately after felt stupid for not representing. But whatever, people liked it. The problem I have is that no one ever seems to have any comments on what I write. Like, with other people, they'll say, 'I liked this part, and this image' or 'This part felt unrealistic, maybe you should do this' but I don't really get anything from the other people in the class. It's just the professor. I don't know if this is good or bad.
They're probably so overawed by my writing skills that their brains are stunned into silence.
Yeah, that's it.
My professor did say that I do a very good job of creating a sense of a fully developed world in which the characters live, so that's definitely a good thing.
It's the first snow of the year and I'm sitting in my window seat and the sky is grey and the trees are all desaturated browns with bright green moss and my room is warm for once and YES this is nice.
