April on Film 2014


A few exciting and not so exciting things happened this month but I feel like it went by slow and fast at the same time. Some days ended really quickly and others just took forever. First, I moved into my new studio even though technically I moved in in March I didn't unpack or settle in until April because I was on break. 

Second, sadly my rat Monty passed away while I was home over break. I was really upset and it was probably the worst school break I have ever had but I'm just happy I was able to be with him until the end and my dad and I were able to bury him in the backyard next to my cat Peewee.

Some positive news though is that I ended up getting another rat because living by myself can get lonely and I was really missing Monty. Even though it felt too soon I couldn't resist and I adopted Bartleby. He is a lot more energetic then Monty and is definitely more comfortable exploring, being on my floor, and running around my apartment. He is also super nice, cuddly, and a big goofball. 

I think other then that not much has been going on except school and working on projects for class. Like usual it has been super busy and super stressful but in the end I'm still having a great time doing what I love.

March on Film

This month went by so fast it was like a blur. First, one of my friends, Greg, moved back to Chicago so Sam and I had a lot of fun hanging out with him again. Sam also moved out this month so we went on a lot of adventures before she left Chicago. That includes one last trip on the blue line, Chinatown, lots of shopping, hanging out with friends, and watching the river get dyed green. Just for everyone to know since I mention her a lot, Sam was my roommate and is one of my best friends. Besides the usual stress of school it was also fun and definitely interesting this quarter. I made my first website and started working on my portfolio. 
It was also a huge, emotional month. I had a really hard time after Sam moved out, most of it was because I missed her and also because I have never lived by myself before, it was a lot to handle and get used to. 
Even though it didn't happen this month, it did start near the end, I also had to deal with losing my rat, Monty. After moving into my new apartment and coming home for spring break on the 29th, Monty started to get sick and on April 2, he passed away. So this was my last month I got to spend with him. 
Every month is different and new things happen but this was probably one of the most emotional months I've had in a really long time and I made it through. Hopefully April will be a little better.
