Oh the embarrassment, I was going to post this yesterday but after I got in I slept for hours cause I ain't feeling good.
So anyways back to my embarrassment... in uni yesterday I got my mark back for the first draft of my script for a short film.
Well I was very worried because everyone else had a mark at the bottom and well, I didn't. Why didn't I? I was just about to ask when my lecturer asked to see me at the end... oh the bad thoughts that went through my head!
Firstly after Christmas I didn't know when to hand it in and he rang me and told me that I was over the due in date... yeah bad... but he gave me a day to get it in and he'd forget all about it as I told him I didn't know when it was meant to be in (never got the email with dates of hand-in-ness on, honest!) so I got it in... it had been done forever.
So we watched a few short films and I kept thinking 'Oh Geez! I've failed... I know it the script was awful and he won't even give me a mark!"
I saw him at the end and he said my script was really advanced. He asked how many drafts I had done. I told him the truth that I had been working on the story I based the script on for a year. It's a story that me and a friend were joking about once and I started writing it all down in a notebook, and the notebook ended up going everywhere with me. I mean I wrote during a Karaoke night... seriously!
I had wanted to turn the whole thing into a script for some time and saw this assignment as the perfect opportunity to see it a bit of it would work as a stand alone piece.
I asked him about the marking scheme and the marks are only an estimate for the final draft... but still I don't know why I didn't get a mark.
Guess I'll find out at the end of this semester.
Oh and am I the only one who makes a cup of coffee, forget about it, it gets cold and upset that I I didn't drink it, so I go and nuke it in the microwave?
