Ohhhhhh Were half way there!!!

Hola,

So today roughly marks the half way point of Jenny's term abroad. I hope she enjoyed my special letter :) Today was a roller-coaster ride of exhaustion and different emotions. I woke up with 9 hours of class in front of me and extremely tired. I went to materials class and pushed through my coke bottle project. It's almost done and looks pretty cool so far! After that I went to Camera Ops where I asked my buddy about a problem I was having with my footage from Europe. All the tapes keep ending at 36 minutes and I'm losing half my footage on each tape. He told me there's a chance I recorded in DVCAM which only allows between 35-40 minutes to be recorded on each tape. So after he told me that I got pretty upset and mad at myself because that means I lost 2 of my 4 hours of footage :(

On top of that I was pretty nostalgic of my time spent with Jenny in Paris/London and missed her terribly throughout the day. I think leaving her the second time was even harder than the first. Anyway then I went to my spy movies class where I fell asleep for the first 15 minutes of class. I woke up and realized that Jenny and I had played back and watched footage of the louvre on the train back to London which meant that the last half of my footage was recorded and is somewhere on the tapes. So I got pretty optimistic after I remembered that and stayed awake the rest of the class. So after completing my fourth Manic Monday I put together a commercial for my commercial class. I think it turned out well and is pretty funny.

After finishing editing I went directly to Ultimate practice where I ran my lungs out. So now I'm back after 9 hours of class 2 hours of editing and 2 hours of practice, extremely tired. I wish I had a Jenny to take care of me, but I know she's got a big presentation tomorrow that she's going to do amazing on! As long as she drops my name.

Merry Christmas,
Michael "Quicksand" Stone

6 1/2

I'm back,

London and Paris were awesome!!! I had the best experience over in Europe spending time with a little girl named Jenny. We hit up all the major sites, ate delicious food, and shared a lot of funny experiences. I have over 4 hours of footage and can't wait to start tearing through it and making a highlight video.

I miss Jenny already,
<3

3 More Days!

Hello ladies and gents,

So I'm leaving in about three days to visit a Jenny-Fur. I'm pretty excited but not at all prepared. Things have been pretty mundane here in Philly: Ultimate, school work, and editing have been my life for the past month but I can't complain there have been a few good days mixed in there. Right now I'm watching football/finishing up my final edit before I leave for London. Hopefully I'll be able to bring a camera with me on my trip so I can document this grand adventure.

Beep boop bop,
