Closing Time

It’s crunch time now and everyone is really getting on the ball with their duties. That being said, with the Lumina contract has been finalized, my ball will start rolling with everyone else’s. I’ve been informed that we’re having a Lumina walkthrough after class on 3/29 and that I have a meeting about the after party with Kebba on Thursday. In addition to that I’ve volunteered to take some pressure off the video race people. This week was slow again, but only because of the planning stages of everything. As soon as Sandra sent over the contract I was contacted by my director and, I assume, the walkthrough is the first step in a speedy process. With the festival being so close, I think that everyone will start to be a little on edge. However, I don’t think everything will be extremely frazzled if we do everything smoothly and cover all the bases. On another note, the leadership piece of my class project has been sitting idle because I’m not quite sure where it is going. That worries me for the data analysis that I’ve been asked to do on it, but I’ve done all I can in terms of contacting my director and will keep doing so until I get a response. Overall, things are starting to get stressful, but that’s where I work best.

Week 10

This week coming back from spring break has been stressful solely for the fact that I am not positive what is happening on my end. Anthony has sent me the sketches of Lumina, but aside from that I haven’t seen the contract and I don’t know anything about the changes Sandra has made and it stresses me out. The day of the event I know I will be one of the most stressed out people on staff and I’d like to know what I am doing before it starts. That being said, I know I can handle whatever is needed. In addition, stressing out about my DIS and the leadership exercises for the directors is not as bad, but it is still an element of my grade. This whole experience will apply to everything job wise in the future along with the challenges that comes with taking on a double load, but for the moment it is a little bit too unclear for me. I am unclear with Visions because Sandra has not emailed out the updated contract and I am hazy on my DIS because I have to wait on the directors to come to me, which is not conducive to measuring progress.

Hazy

This week has a bit frustrating because there was no way to measure everything equally. By that I mean the progress that we made, especially with the films, has been great, but personally I feel like some lines have been drawn with differences of opinion. I don't think there is something that would affect everything now, but ascribing meaning and forming a new opinion about someone based on what they like or dislike is very real. I think it's possible that there is a point where people in the class who had a massive difference of opinion could have grown apart because of that opinion. This does not apply to people who have been close before the class started, but more so for the new people that have come in. Additionally, I am still struggling with not having any information about the updated Lumina contract. I know meetings with Sandra have been set, but I have gotten no information and no communication about when these meetings are. I am hazy on my duties and hope that things will clear up soon. That goes for my DIS as well because of the leadership duties there too and the data analysis that I have to do.
