The Videoblog That Almost Happened
I wanted to do a video blog. I took my camcorder to school on the day of my exam. I got a few little clips. I thought it would be fun. But I can't seem to find the time to download the stupid things. So I've been avoiding the blog.
I'd rather write boring entries than wait another week for a videoblog. Anyway, I have another exam this coming Friday, so that old exam anxiety will be supplanted by newer, more anxious anxiety.
It was kind of interesting, though, when I whipped out the camera in class just before the test. There were lots of groans (as expected). Especially from those who had clearly been up all night studying and hadn't showered or brushed their hair. The surprising part was how everyone put on this strange front. My friend Betsy, when asked on camera how she was feeling, said "Great!" And other people did the same. Even though seconds earlier they'd been wringing their hands and openly panicking. I guess the self-consciousness of being on camera snapped them out of it.
I was at school from 10-7 today. I talked to no one. I think I said hi to two people. Otherwise it was a ghost town there and pretty lonely. But Drew and I met at a bar restaurant for dinner and I had a long phone conversation with my grandma. Now I really don't want to go to bed, because I feel like I was cheated out of a weekend. Only five more days, though. I can do it.
