Screen Writing Class & Kubuki Restuarant

John and I are taking a screen writing class at the local community college -- Goldenwest Community College. I have practically missed the past 3 weeks of class because of my schedule. The instructor could not make one because he had the shingles -- I feel so bad for him. Anyway, I was able to attend last week's class and guess what he told us to write a 4-scene sequence. I am totally screwed. It seems everyone else has some script floating around in their amazing writing heads but i have none. None!! I don't know what I am going to do! It is due this Thursday 11/8 and as you know with every looming deadline comes brain stagnation. I can't think of a single idea!

To digress for a second, to top my class misery for the week, I had to take a make up test that I was not prepared for in the Cultural Anthropology class I take on Tuesday! I know I am taking the class a credit/no credit but i have a reputation to maintain. It is really beginning to look like I will fail this class. I can't believe it! I took the first test without studying, and before you ask me why I did not study, consider that I fly to SF every other week for work. Anyway, I got a C! A C! I was mightily upset. In my new reincarnated self I am a solid A student. Hah! But I have to admit getting a C without cracking a book was not bad and I figured out some of the answers from some of the questions. Still upsetting though. I will be lucky to make a C this time.

Back to 4-scene mania. I have to write 4 scenes. I am so hosed.

The best thing about going to the class is the Kabuki restaurant is just 2 minute drive away in the Bella Terra mall and we could eat some really good sushi through our frustrations! We wanted to continue our self prescribed therapy by picking up a movie at the cinema but there was nothing worth watching.

BTW, in class we watched A Requiem for a Dream. It was so not what I wanted to subject myself to. A lot of drug use. He asked us to write a one pager on one of the addicts. Humph! Two home works for one class due this week! I am so very hosed!
