The past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of progress. As of this writing, 11:12 PM, 10/11/17, our thesis film "Knuckle Sandwich" is 99% locked in. The character designs of our main characters are 80% locked. The story boards are 2 passes away from being kick-ass. My team is spectacular. We're a collection of work horses with an incredible set of eyes for detail. We keep the ball rolling at a bagillion miles an hour.
That's all fantastic. I couldn't be happier with how the film is going, but that is the academic part of my life.
I've been growing more self conscious of myself as a leader. I haven't been in this kind of a position for years. It shows. I forgot how to take my time and really think. I forgot how to talk like a person. I keep forgetting that not a single person is completely on the same page as me. I want to blame things for these issues I'm having, but that's unfair. My inadequacies are because of my high, spoiled expectations.
I have to slow down.
If I were to recognize my character flaws, that is #2. It became apparent to me last week because I didn't have my priorities straight. I'm still struggling to put that all together. I understand that what I'm feeling is acceptable. I also understand that being able to lean on others is crucial to get me back into stride. For that reason, I'm thankful that my crew is so very inquisitive and diligent. Thank you.

Fall Sucks. I get depressed during the fall. My best remedy is talking to people. I can't conduct photosynthesis without the sun, so I have to rely on fueling on my (extrovertedness...? extroversoin...? extrovertidation...?) being extroverted. I'm reminding myself to keep a clean life and a clean mind. Doing so reduces mental obstacles that take away from my budget of time. Deep breaths, baby.
