The Song Remains the Same.

This is the last blog. Well I got my grade back for my medical malpractice research paper: disappointing. Now everyone will be presenting there projects on whatever it is they have studied for these last few weeks of our senior year of high school. The accumulation of everything we have ever learned will lastly be represented by this final project. Wow. I can't wait to be done with it. For my actual project, I wrote a original screenplay. And original it is. What's unfortunate though is that I haven't finished it and probably won't; considering that my presentation is in about two weeks, and I have suddenly been smacked in the face with laundry list styled myriad of "things to do" before we peace, and I realized that there really isn't much time to complete the screenplay in it's entirety. As of write now, I have 52 pages completed: Hopefully enough for an "a" on the project but certainly not enough to be shot for the silver screen. It's good though. I like it. Slow moving and liberal at first, but transcending into a family driven and deathly vengeance. I don't want to spoil anything. Regarding my presentation, I don't know exactly what I'm going to do, but I have a good idea. I have this idea in my head that may be good; good for class involvement, creative, individual, and unique. I don't want to spoil it though, the element of surprise feeds into the whole shebang. I'll leave a hint though. It's a learning experience about screenplays. The presentation is heavy on the project, and not on medical malpractice, (what I researched). What I realized over the five day Memorial Day break, while I was doing everything possible to further myself and my mind from the conforming scholastic community of secondary education, I had an epiphany. It was depressing but still an epiphany. I realized that I have to present the week after prom; that's a bummer. A huge bummer. It's going to be difficult for me, but I'll enjoy the challenge. I'll enjoy it in the most exhausted, head pounding, and nauseating way :) . It's alright though. I'll manage. It'll be fun. Live life and enjoy every moment of it. No matter where you are or who your with. Reiteration: it doesn't matter. Live. Laugh. Love. I can't believe this blog post is turning into me trying to persuade you into happiness. But at the end of the day, I feel like that's all that matters (to me at least). Well, theres about twenty minutes of this period left, and I would like to get back to work so I'm going to retire on this note. Peace and Love baby; I'm out.

Week of May 12

Though the research paper leg of our final projects is due this upcoming Friday, I have been spending about 97% of my working time writing my actual screenplay, which I have just been reminded is actually part of the fourth marking period grade rather then that of the final. I'm having a much easier time writing my story; once I begin everyday in class, I just start flowing. It's slow moving, but it's still flowing. When you're writing a screenplay, you feel like you have so much done, and then you go back to take a look at it and you realize after an entire class period of writing you have only added another two pages to your piece. It's a little frustrating, but once the writer get's over that initial hump of shock it's nothing a little patience cannot cure. This blog post is supposed to outline my plans for this upcoming week, but the product of my last weeks work clearly demonstrates that I deviate from what I plan. Even regarding my actual screenplay, the storyline is evolving in a direction that I did not forsee. I will state what I wish to accomplish this week, for I know that there is an important deadline approaching. If it weren't for the research paper being due Friday, I probably would never finish it. So this is my goal: Do the project. The entire thing. I have a page written already, but I'm not sure that it bests fits the voice of the paper I'm trying to write. So that's my plan. Everything that needs to be done to get the research paper in class on Friday. This is my week plan.

"Doin' it and Doin' it and doin' it well"

To start off, I would like to say that I fell a little short of my goals for last week. I think my unplanned trip to RutgersFest on Friday took away from a solid period of work. I have one page of text though, so that's a good start. I keep having doubtful visions of my project though. To be honest, I don't have any solid goals, and it's interefering with my writing. I have found several web based tools for screenwriting though. A screenplay requires a special format that the software on our computers is not designed to use. these web based applications allow for the proper scripting of a screenlplay and will allow me to work on my home computer as well. I can technically work on it from any computer with a web browser and an internet connection. For this week I plan on completing my introduction paragraph of my research paper, and hopefully having a first draft finished as well. If all goes well and I get this work done, then I plan on jumping head first into my final project and throwing some words on paper, if you know what I mean.
