Day 201: Arby’s Bad, In&Out Good.

July 20th, 2011Day 201, and I continued my daily prospects at both EH&S and ThinkTogether. I got some breakfast at Arby’s though, the worst decision of my life because the food on the value menu did not at all look like the picture expressed. For starters the roast beer was not pink and crisp as seen by the picture but rather gray and terrible-looking. Afterwards, was my last day of teaching at ThinkTogether. :'( At lunch we all around signing each other’s yearbooks (which were pads of paper stapled together basically). It was super funny cause some of the comments these kids wrote were pretty hilarious, and yet at the same time very very very very sweet. In my first film class I showed the kids Despicable Me (Group 7), and in my last film class I showed the kids Tangled (Group 6). I think they were mildly entertained by the Pixar/non-Pixar movies. Math class was a challenge, but I was able to get the kids of group 8 to successfully take their math test, after doing a scavenger hunt for key terms to review right before the test. Afterwards, we played Jeopardy and they failed at Presidents’ Jeopardy, and succeeded at elementary level Jeopardy… so easy that almost anyone can win. Field trip tomorrow to SDSU, and celebration day Friday. It’s all coming to a bittersweet ending.

When I got back to my place, I started doing video editing for a couple hours until Alex called me. I was proud of myself for completing 5 movies, and celebrated with Alex as we went to In&Out. While there I snapped an amazing picture, realizing the disgusting Arby’s I had in the morning pailed in comparison to the California In&Out I had for dinner. That same In&Out is featured on the second episode of The O.C., a classic American television series. Anyway, we talked at dinner and caught up before hanging back at my place for a bit. When Tyler and Lauren came back respectively, we watched Memento (which they both fell asleep during). GREAT MOVIE THOUGH, YET AGAIN, even though Lauren didn’t seem to get it at all. Fail on her end, not mine. I ended the night finishing the last 5 movies, ultimately being done with all 10 video projects. I subtitled, captioned, and made transitions on every video, and let’s just say I’m proud of myself for doing it, with a day to spare.
