Catholic in Film School

Well, school is awesome.

On Monday I had my first college history class. Yes I’m a junior and yes it is a bit late for me to still be taking general ed classes but I’ve never been one to do exactly as I’m told.  The professor seems like she knows what she’s talking about as I have not had to correct anything she’s said in my head.

Monday also brought me my “Teaching Religion to Youth” course that I have been anticipating with bated breath the entire summer. It’s a service learning course, which means I am required to teach! But more on that later.

I’m only taking one screenwriting class this semester, something I did purposefully to allow for more time for independent projects. It meets on Tuesday morning, but was cancelled because my professor had to go to a funeral. I’ve taken one of his classes before so I’m not worried.

Tuesday night I also had my “Women in Film” class, which is one of those classes where all you do is sit around and watch movies and then talk about them. We watched Adam’s Rib (1949) which I would totally recommend.

Thursday, I only had my Orthodox Christian spirituality class. My professor is a lovely older priest who has a voice made for radio and likes to go whale watching in Malibu. He goes off on random tangents so that’s how I know that.

Wednesday and Friday were the same as Monday, only I got more info about when, where, and what I will be teaching on Friday afternoon. It looks like I’ll be teaching either confirmation or regular CCD, but I’m still looking for a parish I want to serve at.

And in case you care, the apartment “Hot Man Wall” is in stage 3 of development, and has been affectionately renamed “The Wall of Hot Man-ness.” We (my roommates and I) also decided to make our kitchen wall the “Wall of Man Shame” starring Flava Flav, Arnold Schwarzenagger, and any other dude we deem so fit. 

Pictures will be posted.

Update: Photographic evidence has been posted.
