I've got a 3-5 page paper to write over the weekend. It's going to take a bit to knock those out as quickly as I did as an undergrad.

I had a big 15-20 page paper to do several semesters ago. I did a little here and a little there throughout the semester. Finished it early. Got an A. Doing it little by little over three months made it so loving easy. Never done another paper like that since.

The worst I've had was an 8 pager using satellite imagery analysis to research Las Vegas' expansion from the 1980s to present day. I did it in one day. It was awful. Not the longest but the most aggravating paper to have written.

So I wanted to clarify about my "dream." Music videos. That's what I want to do. But not normal music videos. These are 3-4 minute movies with narrative and plot progression based on my interpretation of a song. Music videos have long been hailed as dead because I think they get tossed to the side. The Information Age made it so that we now expect video representation from bands and it is super easy to make. Here's an example. https://youtu.be/YqhUjG6u1PQ I admire Wes Borland as an artist like nuts. If you think otherwise, you probably only know him from Limp Bizkit. Cinematically, that could have been done "better" but the execution was great. The transition from 4th wall breaker back to a third is clever, but the thing that follows is a pretty clear narrative of a dude just trying to figure out what the gently caress is going on. Add a little weird random poo poo and boom. It's not the best example but that video inspired a lot of ideas and realizations that I could do this. Money being the biggest factor. Not how much I'd get paid but how I'd pay for the right acting, the right equipment, etc. I also understand my limits, this isnt hubris, or at least I hope it's not. Music is emotion we can hear. I'm a visual person, but music gives me goosebumps. It's always been a big part of my life and I really want to be apart of it. I don't want to play it like a DJ. I did that already. I want to inspire others like it inspired me. Part of the beauty of music and song meanings is that every song means something different to everyone. Our ability to relate to it is what helps us enjoy it. The artist may be talking about something else, but the words are ambiguous enough for you to get it. I recently did a 4-5 page paper on A Perfect Circle - Judith because it was a free topic and it was a method of communication. It's also probably he most influential song of my life time. I liked tool but A Perfect Circle and more importantly Puscifer REALLY blew me away. That or do what Eric Warheim does. I like how he gets to be weird and it's normal but I do it and it's creepy because I'm not Eric Warheim.

I also REALLY like that they didn't follow the group inside and left it as the POV of the driver. The second was a really cool concept done well and I'm gonna share it a lot. Gonna share both a lot. Thanks these were awesome and totally get what I'm saying. I want to do that. I want to be in charge of making that. That's what I want to do with my life.

So apparently, even if you are only taking one credit hour of full-time internship, schools still count you as being "full time" so I just got a big grant I was not expecting.

I am jealous but my dogs would be a huge distraction and the class would be a waste. I study at school so I don't spend my time tempted to pay attention to them. It's awful.

ripoff of Baby Driver e: I mean this started as a dumb joke but Edgar Wright did direct this and clearly just lifted the scene intact for the start of Baby Driver

Sir Lucius posted:You should get a job where you can take your dog to work. I know places like Amazon let you do this. maybe. but honestly that's probably a can of worms i shouldn't open though. i have manageable anxiety at the moment. like if i'm in a huge room with a bunch of poeple (like the cafeteria at school that i still call the dfac because i suck) then i get antsy but i can stay put without being too uncomfortable (though some days are worse than others). put monty next to me and you have a shitload of people looking at me or coming up to me, which i wouldn't like -or- monty would become a bigger crutch than he already is for me and i wouldn't be able to function without him. those are my two biggest fears about being able to take him everywhere.

I have the pleasure of retaking organic chemistry II since the school I'm at now didn't accept the semester of it I did at community college. Being in a lecture hall of 100+ students where it seems half of the class are all on a pre-med track and watching how they interact with the professor and the TA seem to explain a lot about what I remember of the doctors I worked with at a Naval Hospital and in a few BAS/RAS. Chemistry is my major and it's loving annoying to have to wait around for everyone else to grub about their grades when I want to know how the poo poo really works.

one good thing about going to a small school is you can generally figure out who the lazy students who wait until the last minute are early in your academic career and by the time you hit your senior year you know who is who. the bad thing about that is i've done two group projects in my economics class by myself because the people i get paired with are fuckin useless. the poo poo will be due on a thursday so they are like "let's get together on wednesday evening at 7pm and work on it." no you fuckers. so i just email them what i have and say "look over it and make sure you agree with it" if i get stuck with stupid people in the future i think i'll throw in some stupid poo poo randomly in the project just to see if they actually pay attention to what i send them.

I've had 1 group thing so far, and thankfully I got some of the effort students in the group, but then this one goon looking motherfucker that was just plain dumber than poo poo. Thankfully we could give him a role so small that if he didn't even do it it wouldn't bother us that much. I had my first chem lab last week and apparently everything is done with partners. I just put my stuff near the lab bench and just got nabbed immediately by this woman who claimed me as her lab partner. I wondered why then I realized that this creepy as all gently caress weirdo with a pedo stache and a neckbeard was gonna be her other option, and she turned out to be really switched on, so that was good news as well. So I've had a good run with group stuff so far but I count myself very, very lucky.

Also what are some of the best ways to milk the Post 9/11 GI Bill for all it's got? I'm gonna have about 20 months of benefits left when I finish my grad program.

Kawasaki Nun posted:Get on voc rehab This. I started as an art major, bought a fancy computer and camera and had it reimbursed. Changed my degree plan to communications. Don't have to pay any of it back. The only downside to Vocrehab is no flexibility save electives. Has to be your degree plan, even if it gets changed later.

Advice for people just starting: buy your text books that are relevant to your major, don't rent. You never know when you might need those things in the future, which is an issue I'm running into right now.

Alternatively, show up to the first class and ask about the required books. Sometimes they're not even needed.

Undergrad had some expensive books I wish I still had that weren't required. The Masters program is all about pissing off the bookstore and just having us get what we need as cheaply as possible. It really depends on how good the teacher is.

In undergrad I had a billion books that I never bought after my first semester, because sometimes we wouldn't even get to the material at all. In grad it was 'yo all this poo poo is on the internet except for [insert book] which you really need so get it'
