On My Way

Well, in a few Days I'm on my way up to Scotland to meet up with the abroad group and then get settled into Glasgow into student housing(eek!). We will see how it works out, apparently I will be living in a flat with five other people, we share the living room and kitchen but I get my own bathroom...I've never lived in anything like that before so I'm a little anxious. However I am really looking forward to creating finally!

Morgan has asked me to collaborate with her on a documentary for her video class at Cornish so I will be taking footage of Glasgow, Scotland, and the locals there while she gleans footage from Seattle and surrounding areas then we will see what happens when we combine our perspectives. I always really enjoy working with her on projects so this is going to be a different experience since we are doing long distance.
I also am working on creating a CD cover for Ben's demo that he just recorded back in Olympia. Just something small to be photocopied in order to fold into a sleeve to hold the CD. So I'm actually pretty busy which is refreshing, I was getting pretty bored for a little bit without anything to do and no motivation. Once School begins it's going to be overwhelming but after last night I can't wait to be making some videos. Natalie's friend Annike Bosma shared all of her videos with me and they were very inspirational. I also shared all of my work with her from this past year and she gave me some really great feedback on them. I also began to think about how I use language. She was from Holland so English is not her first language, therefor when watching some of my videos she was lost because she didn't understand everything being said, that made me think about how I would really like to play with that idea of language and make it easier for people all over the world to understand even if there are words...and such. I don't know if that makes sense but it was a thought and might be a direction to take in the future...
