Did I say I was happy?

What I meant was that the Razor is the worst phone in the world... but we won't get into that because thanks to a 30 day exchange policy I am back in good graces with verizon. So today I had my student presentation.... which is actually a very misleading title for the process... what really happened was I was escorted into a tiny office where 15 members of the faculty were squeezed around a long oval table. I sat at the head of the table amongst the chaos that seems to surround film professors and attempted to remind myself not to say 'like' or 'um' too much (I failed on both accounts by the way). So they asked about my most significant film experience and I quite uneloquently answered, then I told them what I had learned from my non film related jobs. Then Someone piped up and said "We have a photo of you and you're wearing that same necklace... is it special? Is it one of those things you wear every day?" I was a bit nervous about the fact that they had somehow obtained a photo of me and was quite curious to know exactly what photo it was, but I just said "Oh my Dad gave me this necklace so yes it's special but I don't wear it every day." So they told me it would have sounded better if I told them i wore it every day... which means I quickly backtracked and changed my answer (jokingly of course... we can't lie to our professors now can we?) So then, my old TMA102 Professor asked me if my head would fall off if I removed the neckalce... if that's any indication of how the interview went then I'm just as stumepd as you as to if I'll get into the program. But all in all I think I did well and really... if I didn't there's not much to be done about it now but wait until the end of December. So there's what's happening in my life right now. Keep your fingers crossed about the major!
