I really think I got too old, or I should say "NO" if people ask me a help, when I'm running around to get my work done.
I got really pissed off this in the morning. It's been long time to get pissed off like that, or I'm just too tired.

A young Korean student asked me a help for his film project. He has a script, but it needed to be translated in English, and also he asked me to do narration for his film as well. Well, I said, YES. I just realized why I don't like students' narrative film project because of this reason. Story of every students narrative work that sounds always the same to me. Either Korean or American.

Well, we couldn't figure the audio record system in school last night. I get always confused by patching thing. I don't even know why it wasn't working. So, I convinced him to do in another way. But he needs my voice anyways. So, I came home to record my voice with my shotgun micro phone and camera until 4 AM. Then, had to go to school to give it to him this in the morning. So stupid because I forgot to bring my cell phone.. so I had to wait for him about 30 min in front of CFA although I have so much things to do. I was so pissed off. I think I just got too stressed out, or I got too old to be energenic.

I've been running around to finish up this semester. I can't smell it to be done.
There are a lot of paper works. I have to hand in working-in-progress paper work for my thesis project supervision. I knew that I have to write about a specific statement for that, but I didn't know that I have to do paper work for this thing until my thesis project done.

I just need to stay home. I love staying home, especially sitting in front of my computer that makes me feel okay.

If anybody wants to see my real madness, ask me a help when I'm too stressed out. You will see what the real madness is.. I can be a total different person, which is only my sisters knew.

I just slept for 3 hours and half for today. No enough sleep..
Yeah, I can't blame anybody.. I put myself in the sleepless way because..
I'm a last minute person.. Don't even try to be a last minute person.

Yeah, I finished my paper.. but I really don't think it is good. So, I told my professor that I want to hand it in again on Wednesday. I already gave him my paper today.. but I feel terrible with my paper.. So, I gotta re-write it.

Oh, I got my tickets for Korea today. Happy.. So happy. I'm going home in 2 weeks. Wow..

I got some good pictures from the event last Saturday. I really like my new user pic because you can't see my face., rather it looks like some faceless ghost holding the camera. I love it.

I gotta go back to work again. Damn.. never ending story to finish up this semester.

I went out to eat with Robin in the middle of last night again. It was around 3 or 4 AM. I think Robin and I are the crazy night owls. Actually, I had to go to the bed earlier than I do normally last night because I was involved in the film production event called "Emergent-C" today, which was suppose to start at 9 AM in the morning and it was suppose to be shooting for all day long today, Saturday. Well, I just slept for 3 hours (who I can blame.. nobody, right? because it is my bad life-style) and went over the first location. Of course, I was late about 20 min.

A lot of people were already there. My role for this project was a document camera person 1, which means I should be there earlier than the other people. But it was kind of okay although I was late.

The main theme is that this film crew are missing the director, the producer and the writer that actually we have. So, there is only the shot list but no script. So it is kind of like a props project.

There were probably 15 or 16 people at the first location.
One assistdent director
Three sound people,
Two camera people,
Three set designers,
One photo document person,
Three actors,
Three Runners and project documentary person that is me.

We shot there for 2 hours and half, then moved to Delaware park which was the second location. Oh my god, it was freaking cold and windy. We shot there about 2 hours again... Then went to Steven Eastwood's house which was the third location. We had a lunch there. Fortunately there was the other documentary person, so I could leave for a couple hours. So, came home around 2:30.. and slept utill 5:30..

Then went over Steven's house again, then I took over documentary role.. Finally, we were done around 10 PM. It was really exhausting, but fantastic. I've never done this kind of big project that a lot of people involved. Everybody seems very professional (except for me). I had a really good time today although my arms are so hurt from holding my camera about 8 hours today. Crazy..

Now, Robin is at my house and she is trying to change her user pic for Elmwoodstrip.com. as I'm writing this journal. She found out some pictures of hers on my computer. Even she found out some pictures of mine as well. She said that I was cute with short hair-style, which she has never seen... "Thank you! Robin, but I'm not sure I want to try it again though" Yeah, I had a very very short hair-style about 3 years and half ago.

Well, my rice is done now. So, Robin and I are gonna eat some rice with Kimchee.
Does anyone know what Kimchee is..?

Then, Robin is researching something for her paper.. and I'm writing my paper.
Good friendship.. isn't it..?

Paul, yeah, I'm happy now :) .. great job. I feel little sorry for you because I feel like I pushed you to do that somehow.. But,, it's much better navigator.. Don't you think so..? Yeah, I'm also trying to fix some HTML code for my friend's website right now. Well, I gotta stay away from making website. I have so much things to do. Papers.. proposals.. writing grants.. I'm getting to hate writing paper stuff..
I'm tired of writing English except for writing journals on Elmwoodstrip.com ;)

I just paid my ticket for Korea. 13 Hundred Box. Ouch.
If I made a reservation earlier.. it could be 800$ or 900$.. Well, I'm taking Korean airline.. it's the most expensive airline to fly to Korea actually, but I have a lot of milies from that airline.... so after this trip, I can get a free ticket to Korea for the next time.

Anyway.. I'm so happy to go back to Korea.. It's been for one year and also I'm going to see my youngest sister finally. I haven't seen her for 2 years and half. We promised to go back to Korea for this winter together. She is flying to Korea from London on December 12th.. little earlier than me..

I can't wait until December 19th.. oh.. I'm scared what things have been changed in Korea for this time. Whenever I go back to Korea, a lot of things changed.. So, I got confused for little while.

Here is my ridiculous experience in Korea last year.

My mom's front door lock system was changed as the digital door system.. I had no idea what the hell that was. I arrived Korea in the middle of night last year, so got home earily morning. When I got up around noon, no one was there. Everything looked fine and same in a way until I got a big problem with the front door. Maybe my mom didn't realize that she should've let me know the front door system or she just assume that I might figure it out. Well, I wanted to go out for some snack.. but I couldn't open the front door.. it was very strange and I was thinking.. "what the hell is that.." Finally I could open the door in a wrong way maybe, and the alarm system started ringing so loudly. (to be honest, I hate every alarm system) People showed up and I had to explain to them.. I had to call my mom and asked her.. "what's going on here..?" She said,"how come don't you know that?" I replied to her.."How do I know that thing.? Don't you know that I'm from Buffalo where is not that modernized and digitalized?" Well, she gave me the number for the front door over the phone.. but I couldn't figure it out. Then, she remembered where the key was and was telling me to try it with the key. But, I couldn't find the key as well.. There was no key that I picture and know. Well, the key looks like a little magnet that I never be able to guess that is the key. Actually, no one in my family carries the key at all.. they just know the number. It was very embarrassing... People looked at me like a savage.. Oh well..

Hope this time time, nothing much has been changed.. hopefully.
