The start of stress


Now is the time that I've begun to panic about my summer plans, but I'm underway to begin planning on my plan B's of the summer. I have a couple fo options. I feel the sleep deprived days approaching. I've decided that creating a film is much like a rollercoaster, with each accomplishment you feel yourself getting closer and closer to the peak, then filming begins and it is all down hill from them just a shoot to the bottom. I see all my colleges begin filming and It like the anticipation of waiting in the line.

My friend, Alyssa, just spent the past week in Prague. It was nice to have a friendly face and show the sights of a city that I've fallen in love with. It is sad that my time here is now limited to a month. It really has flown by. A year ago around this time was when i first got the information that I would be studying here. Never did I imagine that my year would have turned out to be like this. I think that this was one of the best deisions that I have ever made. If you would have aksed me when I was a senior or even a freshman if this is where I would have ended up. Prague, would not have been my answer, but thankfully life has amazing curves and different paths for you.

I do have a couple of regrets, of friendships that I have let pass, but as life changes we all do. I hope that one day I can rekindle those relationships. It's hard to do that from another country let alone New York to Louisiana. I know way to be random, but I just rewatched "Freaks and Geeks" and it made me really remember my high school years.

Tonight, I'm going to a Belle and Sebastian concert and I am super pumped. It will be nice to have a little break before the work gets way to intense for me.

Songs that have been on repeat:
1. Box of Rain -grateful dead
2. Say goodbye to Hollywood- Billy Joel
3. Mad World - Gary Jules
4. Everlasting Light- The Black Keys
5. Take it Easy - The Eagles

film of the moment.... MINE. ahhh.

The past two weeks have been full of wonderful adventures. Between Amsterdam, Piran, and Prague I have had a great beginning of spring. It is amazing how quickly Prague aquired such great weather. One moment, Prague was just too cold to words to describe then all of a sudden the sun came out and everyone is smiling. I feel like i'm in a different place now. (for the better) I don't know how much more of that cold weather I could have endured. I bought my ticket back to the states, mark your calenders for the 1st of June. I'll be seeing you Louisiana so get your self in gear. Then shortly thereafter I will ship myself off to the great state of New York for some summer (hopefully) internships and classes.

The more I think about it the more I am worried about going back. It will be almost a year since I've really been in the states and now i'm starting to realize the differences. I don't know how it will be to be back there. I am trying to imagine going to a resturant and sitting there for hours and just ordering a coffee? I don't think it really filies in the states. There will be some padding there though, I defered my trip back home by a day and a half. I am making a trip to copenhagen by myself, as a farewell to this part of the world for a while.

My flatmates and I held a party last night. I spent the day cleaning only for the entire place to be a wreck afterwards, but I won't complain because it was worth it. I enjoyed the company and I hope everyone else had a great time aswell. My flatmate, Pooja and I went on an epic search in prague to find Jello (for our jello shots) and I believe it was a good omen for the party.

Films that I'm in the mood for, but can't watch right now because I have to work :(
1. JFK
2. Magnolia (always in the mood)
3. Days of Heaven
4. Any of John Hughes
