So, I'll make this short. I've been busy. Salt is stressful. I've been running from one thing to another. Finished the mini-ethnography last Monday, did a promo for Tuesday, Vox Pop is due next Tuesday, and still trying to nail down my story topic. However, things have been really amazing. I can't stress enough how much I've been learning.
Friday night my course teacher, Rob, debuted his hour long doc about the Island of Malaga. That was really interesting, because it's a devastating story about social eugenics and racism at the turn of the twentieth century. Then afterwards some friends and I went to Blue where we listened to live Irish music and talked well into the night. The next morning, Rob, friend, made me some french toast and then I went canvassing at Shaw's for Equality Maine. I met these really awesome USM students who are currently organizing a burlesque show in which they'll be performing in drag. It was a pretty awesome day.
This week, has kind of blurred, but I've been getting a bunch done. I finished a promo for the fake show I discussed maybe doing as an independent study, where I take genres and break down their history. So I made a fake promo for that, which maybe I'll post later. I'm currently working on a vox pop. I went in front of a coffee shop, and asked people their opinion on a topless coffee shop that opened in Maine, and how they felt about the fact that 150 people applied for 10 open jobs. So, now I'm editing that together. I'm still working on finding a queer family in a conservative area here for my big doc, but I'm getting closer, I have some leads.
Tonight, I went and saw the film Examined Life. Here's a link to the trailer. It was awesome. zeitgeistfilms.com/examinedlife
I'm visiting Hampshire this weekend, which I'm excited about. Like I said, short. But things have been great and I've been learning a ridiculous amount.

yo Sarah I'm so glad you're having fun at Salt!- the original idea was to apply for fall early but it wasn't in the cards for me... I'm working on my app over spring break for the April 12th deadline!
