Improv shows are always so fun to do. It doesnât matter if you win or lose, just as long as you have fun and entertain people. I co-coach myy old high school improv team, so Iâm feeling ya mo.
My school is having a week of minimum days. And tomorrow, my classes are gonna be crazy short- late start, early out, and an assembly will take over most of the time, so my classes might not even have enough time to assign homework! 
So far in the week, I used my extra spare time that resulted from the minimum day schedule to work on my videos. So far, so good. Letâs just hope they donât get stuck again this timeâŚ
Well, I managed to get four Aâs this week, one in German, two in Art and one in Technology (which is my very first A in this subject) and I have good chances to go to the Wirtschaftsgymnasium.
Other than the school stuff, I was finally able to properly save my video and I uploaded it yesterday dances^^
WON: That is very good news to hear. Keep up with the good grades.
mo - Good luck with the show tomorrow!
BDD - I too have such little class time in school. Four day week, three of them lasting only several hours, and the longest (on Thursday) starts at 9, has a two hour lunch break from 12 to 2, and ends at 3! I guess all that extra time is for us to discuss and collaborate on our portfolios, which is like the Big One for our final year!
Well, thatâs good if youâve got time to indulge in a little fandom there, lookinâ forward to those videosâŚ
WON - Congrats on the good marks! Maybe youâd like to post a link to your video (is it a Pixar-related fan one?) so we can have a look? 
Well, I applied for a student contributor position with my universityâs student magazine (pretty much anyone can do it really, Iâm not on the editorial team, and I submit work whenever I want) , and they offered me a spot doing movie reviews! As you can probably tell, I love writing reviews and offering critiques, so this is a pretty cool job! The first assignment I got was to attend an advanced press screening of⌠Monsters Vs Aliens! Iâm so excited, this is my first time writing for a printed publication (although my essays have been picked for my secondary school yearbooks before), so Iâm mighty stoked, not only about getting to see Dreamworksâ latest animated film before anyone else, but also to see my name on all the issues that will be distributed around the entire campus! This is awesome, no, be-yawesome! Oh, and yes, Iâll be looking forward to doing one for Up.
TSS and TDIT: Thanks, guys. 
TDIT: I just posted the link in here. Itâs not Pixar related (I just have no ideas for a Pixar vid but Iâm going to make one as soon as I have an idea).
Youâre welcome WON.
I finally got my Xbox fixed!
But i have nothing to play 
Mark-E: If you have a bit of extra cash, you should go out and buy yourself a nice game to celebrate.
Omg, I canât even believe this⌠I am SO excitedâŚ!!!
My sisterâs birthday is coming up, and as a part of her birthday present Mom and Dad are getting her (weâre sharing, though) The Art of WALLâ˘E and the WALLâ˘E Hypersuite program for the computer in our roomâŚ!!! Weâre both so frigginâ excitedâŚ! Weâll actually be able to hold that book in our hands and leaf through the pages⌠(Man, my extreme WALLâ˘E geekdom is showing through⌠
)
Now I just have to convince her to get us that Ratatouille poster featured in my avvie, since my brothers are taking our extremely special Prince Caspian poster (it was the actual theater poster, and someone from church gave it to us!!!). Maybe for my birthday this summer, when everythingâs on sale.
little chef
Yay, I passed my driving test this morning! Now to actually get a carâŚ
little_chef: Wow! The Art of Wall-E! I guess you reminded me to mention that I also got that book and the Art of Bolt on my trip in Singapore (but I had to plonk down a huge sum, those coffee table books are mean expensive! But oh, theyâre so worth it! ). So yeah, thatâs another good thing thatâs happened to me recently.
lizardgirl - Congrats! Driving really gives you that sense of empowerment and freedom and independence and all kinds of awesomeness. Let us know which car you pick as your first.
Well, I just watched the advanced media screening of Monsters Vs Aliens and it was a pretty enjoyable experience! Now I have to knuckle down and write that review for my school⌠
THree words: Spring Break Baby!!!
red - How awesome! Sheâs getting the Hypersuit program, too? DudeâŚ
Happy birthday to your sister, by the way!
lizardgirl - Congratulations to you! What type of car are you thinking of purchasing?
I may go to Pixar Animation Studios this May. MaybeâŚ
â Mitch
Pixar in may Mitch huh? Really cool. What is the occasion?
The Star Swordsman - Yep. This is the occasion:
pixarplanet.com/blog/emery-ed-fu ⌠ning-of-up
Hopefully, Iâll be able to get my driverâs license before May. I may have to sleep in the car overnight instead of rent a hotel room or something if I do attend this event, but, heck, it would be worth it. 
â Mitch
Wow, sweet Mitch. Lucky you.
Ok. Iâm actually kind of freaking out right now. I just got to talk in a chat with Steve Melching and Henry Gilroy, two of the writers on The Clone Wars cartoon, and Gilroy is the head writer. Steve gave me a little advice. and Henry actually wished me good luck! Iâm actually shaking a little. Even though they only said a little to me, it was so cool to get some encourgament from people doing what I want to do, and working on my favorite franchise of all time, and a very awesome show. Too cool.
thedriveintheatre: Yep, short classes are almost always a great advantage, arenât they?
little_chef_eva09: Tell your sis I said happy b-day. Those gifts are really something to look foward to.
lizardgirl-Congrats!!!
The Star Swordsman: Do ya plan on doinâ anything over your spirng break? Travel somewhere, or just relax, or maybe a little of both? (Thatâs what I do).
Mitch: Youâre real lucky to have that oppurtunity, Mitch. Yep, if you do have to sleep in the car, tâll be worth it all right. Definitely.
DocKenobi: Thatâs so cool- no, more than cool- awesome! Itâs really great to hear that youâve got the fantastic oppurtunity to talk to the two of them and they gave you advice and encouragement! Iâll bet youâll never forget it!
Okay, for me:
Basically, my week is hectic, with projects is progress from different classes and a big test to study up on. But there are some real good highlights of it.
-My family rented some movies (including Bolt!) and borrowed some all in the same day, and I donât even know how many movies there are but I know Iâll be watching plenty this week! I just hope I can find enough timeâŚ
-This one Iâm REALLY excited about. I finished 2 videos AND they DIDNâT GET STUCK! Finally!
There was one video I had finished months ago but it got stuck for a really long time. After a computer crash, I had opened the file from a USB and it worked temporarily, but got stuck the day soon after. And now, weeks later, AT LAST, I tried opening it from the USB again, and it worked!
And thanks to my last minimum day week, I had enough time to make another!
One of them is a trailer mashup, the other is a music video. None of them are Pixar-related however, but I still hope youâll watch them and enjoy them once Iâve got it uploaded. What films did I use? Youâll see soon!
(I wonât upload it just yet thoughâŚI want to add this little âsignature video clipâ at the end so people will remember who edited the videos.)
IâM SO EXCITED!!!
(OK, sorry if I sound like Iâm freaking out about something that seems typical, Iâll calm downâŚ)
-And Iâm also quite excited that Disney Channel seems to have at least a little respect for Classic Disney. This Saturday, theyâll be showing 4 Classic Disney films in a row!! Their theme is about heroes. Theyâll be showing Hercules, Mulan, Tarzan, and Aladdin all in the same day! (Oh, geez, I wish theyâd spread it outâŚ[Iâm watching a lot of movies this week!])
TSS - I get an Easter week break in a fortnight! Oh yeah!
Mitch - I clicked on the link and saw your comment that itâll be on the same weekend as your sisterâs graduation. Well, I donât know how youâre gonna do it with the time clash and hefty price tag, but if you do, thatâd be totally awesome! Best of luck!
DocKenobi - I can tell youâre a SW fan from your username, Laugh Out Loud! How in the world did you meet your idols? By chance? At a screening event? Cold-call interview? Well, count yourself lucky, man!
BDD: Ooh⌠a trailer mash-up? Very. Exciting. And a music video too?
I think the âsignature video clipâ youâre referring to is a âchannel identâ. They use that all the time on commercial TV. You could also add a watermark on the corner of your videos, although that would be too self-indulgent. Me, I just add a âcredit cardâ (âEdited by thedriveintheatreâ) at the end of my trailers, or a beginning and end âID tagâ for my music videos.
I miss the old classics they used to show on âThe Wonderful World of Disneyâ every weekend nights. I donât know what the usual lineup is now cos I donât have cable, but itâs good theyâre still playing the old favourites.
Mitch- Iâve now decided I probably wonât get a car, as the obscene amount of money they cost to run is not worth it. Thanks though! And that event sounds really cool- hope you get to go!
Off to Nottingham (nicknamed âShottinghamâ by some. I wonder whyâŚ) for a few days next week for a Psychology Conference, which should be fun, and then Wednesday night thereâs a much anticipated foam party being held by our Sixth Form. Yay for foam!
