First of all I want to say Happy Mother's Day to my mom, grandma's and aunts. I love you all very much! Thanks for all the advice, little letters, hugs and kisses you've given me over the years. I know I can be an ungrateful pest at times, but I really do appreciate all you've done for me. Also, Happy Mother's Day to all the other mother's out there who have been reading this.
I'd also like to take the time to thank everyone who made this trip possible for me. Especially, my parents. Sending your child to a private school and then half way across the world can get pretty expensive. Also booting her off across the world for five months to study the oh so stable art of film and theatre is no easy feat. Thank you for being so supportive of me and my artistic dreams. (I'll be sure to remember you all when I'm famous!) I've loved every single moment here in Australia. I've had some great new experiences, made new friends, seen beautiful sights, gained a lot of confidence, and learned heaps about myself.
In other news, I've been pretty busy with school. We are working with a woman from Canada on Shakespeare in one of my classes. It's been going really well and I've renewed my appreciation for Shakespeare. The professor is really good at helping us understand the language and I've been reading of Merchant of Venice on my own and I was surprised at how much I was able to grasp.
In my Film Form and Analysis class, we broke into groups and edited some basic footage together. I did most of the work in my group (the others aren't really interested in film and are only taking the class as an elective) and we made a music video out of the clips. I wasn't that happy with the finished product but everyone in our tutorial seemed to like it, which was encouraging. I still haven't given up the idea of editing and I'm considering making a short film for my senior project.
Over half way done! I've got four more weeks of classes and then a month off to travel and enjoy Australia. I hope everyone is doing well at home.
Happy Mother's Day!
