Week 7 Check-In

So March is starting this upcoming week. That’s cool I guess….okay it totally is because then the week after that is SPRING BREAK! But back on topic for now. This week has been one of the longest of this semester. On Saturday and Sunday I went over the films still in consideration and pretty much ended up with the same thoughts I had when watching them the first time. I spent less than an hour on this since I remembered most of them and knew seeing them a second time wouldn’t change anything. On Monday Programming and Operations met at our usual time in PCJ. We once again did not have much to discuss, so my meeting minutes for February have been lacking in points. I’ve tried to make them sound more complex than what they are, but it’s hard taking minutes at a meeting where we’re all cramped in a booth and talking at the same time about different things. On Tuesday I met with Shannon to discuss being a director for Visions7 and was also told I would be the new video race co-coordinator due to unexpected circumstances. This has been quite the adjustment and hasn’t really sunk in yet since I felt like I had just gotten my floaties on for programming. Now I’m pretty much back to drowning, so better get out the swim trunks! I’m actually pretty excited to get started with that this week and see what Devon and I can get done. Tuesday’s class was incredibly long, and even though I left with more than 50 shades of grey bags under my eyes, there was also a slight spark in my eyes from knowing we had compiled the final list of films for the festival. We have some great stuff to show on April 15^th! I was also pretty pumped from hearing the announcement that I would be next year’s programming director. Sweet! On Wednesday Kevin, Daryl, and myself went through the databases again to tweak all of the personal information for our submissions and make sure everything matched up. Yesterday I was fairly busy all day and today I also was unable to call potential sponsorships for the video race. Tomorrow however I do plan on getting in touch with a couple of businesses to see if we can get either a sponsorship or some sort of donation prize for the winners of the video race. Looking to have these things figured out by Wednesday of next week, so we shall see how it goes! Devon also informed me that the official launch date for the video race is March 8^th which was cool to have finalized! Here’s to finally catching up on some sleep from this hectic week though and getting a lot done this next week so that I can enjoy my spring break without being ridiculously busy!
