Week 15 Check-In

Well, this is it. We have officially reached the final lap of this semester. It is still surreal that Visions6 is behind us and Visions7 is pretty much just beyond the horizon. This past week was relatively light in work for the class for the first time since I came onboard in January. Though it was nice, I kept thinking I was forgetting something. On Monday Programming and Operations decided not to meet and instead reflected on how the event went. Tuesday before class I met with Beth for my career consultation and got some really good tips for my resume and LinkedIn account. Then in class all of the departments met with one another to talk about manuals for Visions7. We also separated all of the events from last Friday to have edited for the DVD copy that will be created soon. I actually began working on the manual Tuesday night and finished that yesterday, while today I began editing Kyle’s section of the conference block. This is the first time I have edited anything this entire semester, so I’m actually pretty excited to work on it some more tomorrow. Because too I am unsure as to whether or not this is my final blog for the class, I do want to clear up a few things. This class was by far the hardest experience of my college career. I came in incredibly nervous and not very sure of myself. Everyone from the fall semester however, welcomed me into the class with open arms. Even now after everything, I still truly wish the best for everyone after graduation and genuinely like them as people. I have never been a big grudge holder since I feel as if it is a waste of energy, and I never had any intentions of changing that. Though I can’t say I agree with the way Visions itself is done, I will say it has been quite the overall learning experience. I’ve learned more about myself and overcoming intense stress. Unfortunately even though I don’t necessarily see film festival anything except for hopefully selection on my resume in the near future, I’m glad I was a part of Visions6 and know that Visions7 will be even bigger and better. I wish the best of luck to all of the new staff, and look forward to the new adventures that await me during my senior year at UNCW.
