Last Day!

I went to a concert last night and got to see a lot of people who were glad to see me and gave me hugs to prove it. It wasn't a typical concert, though. There was a person dressed as a ghost who danced, a jazz piano playing break dancer, performance artists, and long-haired, heavy metal playing twins. There was other stuff too. It makes me miss the geeks in the music department, because they're not geeks at all, they're some of the coolest people on the planet. Way cooler than those business majors that wear the latest fashions and walk cool. The music people are cool because they are themselves and they don't care what anyone else thinks about their pink shoes or their beret or their crazy hair. But the best part is, that's what they all love about each other. The weird shit is what makes them fit in. It's like a little family over there.

Our department is not like that. It's all cliques and trying to keep people from stealing your ideas, even though your ideas aren't worth stealing anyway. It's not a big family of circus freak weirdos. It's a bunch of people trying to one-up each other and make each other look bad. You're shooting 24p? Well I'm shooting 16mm. Well I'M shooting 35, so there. It fucking sucks. Which is part of the reason I'm so burnt out on that place.

So today is the last day of class and I couldn't be happier. He's not returning my calls, or answering the originals, so that means he's mad at me (again). Oh well. They say you can't please all of the people... And right now, I am all about pleasing myself and not worrying about anyone else. So he can suck it for all I care. Now if only those students would stop pestering me about the final, everything would be just perfect. Last day last day last day!!!!!
