Day 7: Thursday

Today was a little different in the sense that instead of games to broadcast, I had an awards ceremony. That went okay, as far as I know (I didn't direct so I'm assuming the stream went fine) but there were definitely a few bugs. For example, the camera I was on refused to auto-focus, so I had to manually focus the camera every time I zoomed. Nothing that was beyond overcoming, but it was just a little quirky and slightly annoying.

Besides spending the rest of the day moving video equipment from one place to the next, I spent the rest of the time working on my study guide for my test next week. Had I not have work tomorrow at 6:00am I would have just powered through it tonight and got it done. However, I'm on the last chapter and will really just have finish it tomorrow after the games. I'm getting more furious at this teacher as the semester goes on. I've been trying to contact her about meeting so I can review my study guide with her before the test. Some people may think it's unfair to ask a teacher to do something on their week off. However, originally this test was supposed to be the Monday after break, and quite frankly, if you give me work to do or a test to study for within two classes after break is over, you better believe I fully expect you to make every effort necessary to help me with it, break or not. There's no reason why I should be expected to do work for this class if I'm not going to get help, or at least try and arrange for it, when I need it.

Tomorrow is going to be an interesting one. With work so early tomorrow plus games all day, it looks like it's going to be a 16ish hour day for me. However, I plan on going out afterwards for the first time in what feels like ages, and it will be the first time since Saturday (or maybe Friday?) that I've seen more than one person I consider a friend at one time. We'll see how it goes, but if I don't have a blog entry for tomorrow, then it's because I'll have passed out early again.

Honestly, I just want break to be over. I will probably have more time to enjoy myself next week than I ever had this week, even with that test on Wednesday to worry about. While I can't say that break has been terrible, it certainly hasn't been too enjoyable. It's been a lot of work which doesn't pay off in the immediate future, which is has just been frustrating. I know that I chose to do this, so I'm trying not to complain too much, but even still, just I can't help but feel frustrated.
