Well, FAMU and CIEE got their stuff together and gave us a final list of the film classes we can take this semester, and after some careful consideration and arguing with them about why I can't take 4 electives (apparently it would be too heavy of a course load), I have chosen my classes! So here's what my schedule will look like for the first part of the semester. Remember, eight weeks in I basically stop taking classes to work on my film. So there you have it.
Monday
12:20-1:55~ Camera and Film Language
5:20-6:55~ Cinematography
Tuesday
1:10-2:45~ Editing (doesn't start until the 5th week of class)
6:10-7:45~ Script for Directors
Wednesday
9:50-11:25~ Acting
2:50-4:25~ Directing A
6:10-7:45~ Script Analysis
7:50-9:25~ Directing B
Thursday
8:15-9:45~ Theory of Acting
9:50-11:25~ Screenwriting
2:00-5:00~ Circulating Within the Modern Cinematic Image
So here's your key:
Green classes are all technically one course. They're parts of a class called "Topics in Production", which is supposed to give us the knowledge we need to make our films. They're basically what we call core courses at home.
Blue classes are also technically one course. Taught by two different professors, but I only get to take credits for them home if I take them together. They're my bachelor-level elective.
The purple class is my master-level elective. Taught by a professor from Oxford, which is basically why I'm in it, because that is just awesome.
The red class is one that I'm auditing. It means that I get to go, but I can't get any credit for it. This was their concession to my arguing about not getting to take very many electives.
Well, that's all! Pictures to come, I PROMISE. I'm figuring out how to attach a photo album to the blog, but it's proving to be a little to technologically challenging for me.
I love you guys and hope everything at home is going well. See you at Christmas!

I suppose your inability to put a picture album on your blog is related to your stunted cinematography skills. Directly linked to the whole moths on film school of film making. I don't understand a word of your graduate level class. Way over my head. Some complications with my trip from this end, but I'm finessing like crazy. Love you. Mom
Christy - We miss you so much! We are so excited for you and all the amazing experiences you are having, but sad to hear you felt homesick and would be happy to mail you some stinky shin guards to post with your pictures from home :) Just let us know and we will get those right out to you!
With love,
