Fizz

I feel like my rib cage is fizzing, my bones are Alka-Seltzer, and this buildup is going to explode into, what I imagine in my head, a masterpiece.

   Today was the first day of the 2nd semester, it hadn't really hit me until I walked into my new classes. Its refreshing, I'm glad to be able to start fresh, especially since the majority of my time will be devoted to doing what I love.
   My first hour is TV Production...technically I'm a TV level 6, therefore one of the advanced kids in the program...First hour TV is comprised mainly of TV1s and 2s. I meant to do this, I had been doing the weekly Aftershock show for a while now, hosting it for almost two school years in a row. I needed a change. The other kids in the class are nice, but one can only take so much of something before it starts to become an anathema. This way, in the class of newbs, I'll be able to work on what i want without others looking at my project and prattling on about what i should have done or what I should do next time, this way I can do what I want, my way. I also wouldn't mind helping the lower levels with advice, it'd make me feel good to know I'm leaving a legacy behind...if that's what it could be considered.
   My second hour is AP Literature. It was, initially, a difficult class to get into, Victorian literature really isn't my thing, especially when a whole novel must be read within a small time frame. Now we have moved on to magical realism, its great reading, really. I just read Dreaming In Cuban, its become my favorite book I've read this year. Soon to come is 100 Years of Solitude, Beloved, etc... I'm sure I'll enjoy them.
   Third hour  is a health and fitness class, and fourth hour is my WISE class, the former taught by Mrs. Love, the latter by Mr. Love. Only in America can students participate in programs such as these. Third hour was special for me. Its the first class since middle school I've had with my best friend, Nikki. I know its going to be exciting, we are able to go to the YMCA gym twice a week, and everyday, Mrs.Love will prepare a healthy meal for us. Its a lot to do, for a class of 35...her husband is the leader of my WISE class, the quirky, lovable man has really grown on me. I'm happy to know that my senior year includes this program, and even after highschool is over and done with, I'll still have my WISE project, which will be like a sort of demo-reel, almost...

I plan to make several mini-short films, some funny, others serious, others abstract, creepy, dark etc...
I also want to produce music videos, at elast one for my band, one for a good friend's music (she's also in the WISE class, we have become pretty close this year, she's an incredible musician, I only hope our relationship will last through the eyars, to see her grow into a big name in the music industry or something.) and one for these two guys from Minnesota, KooKooKangaRoo, who have given me permission to use their music as I see fit...(They're like a sort of underground famous, touring with the big names of Ska like Reel Big Fish and the Aquabats) 
I will combine the shorts and music videos into a documentary style mini movie, most of this "movie" will be unscripted, raw. It'll document the process of creating my work, and my life as time goes on throughout the project. I'm ecstatic to be able to be given the opportunity to start this project. I only hope those around me will enjoy the final product.
