| ENTRY 31: The Former |
Not sure where I'm going with this post, but it's been a coupla days so I just thought I should write something.
Well first off, it looks like my school financial problems have all worked out. I submitted my OSAP application, and the estimate showed that I will most likely be fully funded for the program. That means I'll be getting the full $16,800 for the tuition. I will, however, have to pay for the registration fee as well as for books and equipment ($590). My ownly issue now will be how to pay it back. I work overnights, so I don't know how I'll be able to cope with that once I start attending classes full-time. If I don't cut down my hours, I'll be one tired young man. If I do cut down my hours, how the heck will I be able to pay back the student loan? Decisions, decisions.
What else? I talked to Joan of Arc for the first time since before the holidays. Before then, for various reasons, I had been ready to just give up. I wasn't seeing her often enough, and frankly I wasn't quite sure the interest was there. But yeah, I attended church on Sunday, and afterwards she had actively approached me. When she walked by, I (being the dork that I am) nervously started going through my cellphone. After a small pause, she playfully asked who I was calling. I laughed and mumbled something about adding a phone number. Then we started talking.
Wasn't anything climactic, I'll tell you that (don't get too excited). She mentioned how she had had a bad week at work, but we didn't really get into it. My lil' bro was in a hurry to leave, so I departed, and was it just me or did Joan sound a little disappointed as we said our farewells...? Anyway, it was enough to get me to e-mail her. I mentioned that I felt bad that her week went so poorly, and suggested a little bit of escapism with a movie. NO, I DIDN'T ask her out; I merely suggested, since we seem to have similar tastes in movies, that she should check out El Orfanato (The Orphanage). Then I said something about how I hoped her week went a lot better than her last one did.
I wasn't really expecting a response back, so I was kind of surprised when one popped up in my inbox. She mentioned in it that she was happy that I had thought of her, and that she had been thinking about seeing the movie, and would definitely check it out now that I had endorsed it. Kinda taken aback, to say the least. Just being courteous, or should I read between the lines? I'll stick to the former for now.
Wow...long post considering I didn't really know what to write about.Labels: film school, Joan, OSAP |

| ENTRY 30: OSAP ASAP |
I'm really, really, really excited about my enrollment into Trebas. It's going to be amazing! Learning all the in's and out's, the do's and dont's about filming, directing, editing, and -- best of all -- screenwriting! The Institute just opened up a new studio, as well, so I'm heading to an open house next Wednesday to check it out. That should be awesome as well. The craziest things about it is that classes start February 11th! What?!
One downside: the tuition. I was under the impression that I'd have to pay, say, $5000...something along those lines. Turns out the tuition is a staggering $17,000. Where the hell am I going to find that much money in a month? Hence, why I'm turning to OSAP.
The last time I tried to apply for OSAP, I was turned down because I lived at home and my parents combined make more than 90K. Since then, nothing has changed, so as you can imagine I'm a little anxious. As I type this, I've been filling out the online application. Hopefully the sheer magnitude of the tuition will allow me some leeway in the eyes of the OSAP gods.
My pockets are lookin' kinda empty right now...Labels: film school, OSAP, Trebas, tuition |
