The end of the semester is hitting me like a brick wall. If I can make it to April 9th it's gonna be fine, but until then, I'm kind of holding on for dear life and making the title of this post my personal mantra. Here's a photograph of the sunset in February when life was simpler and more beautiful and mostly just...

Today I gripped on a BYU capstone film set for 14 hours. I'm exhausted but I'm also strangely fulfilled. It's not exactly the life of the party doing all the grunt work (aka being a grip) from 4 am till sundown but I've learned a lot over the past few months and it's exciting to be a part of such a collaborative effort....

I don't feel like capitalizing things lately because I've been reading a lot of E. E. Cummings. But also grammar. I'm so torn right now. Mostly this post is going to act as a test post because I feel like making a new blog and having a fresh start. Here's a project about feminism that I made for one of my film classes....
