My last semester at Emerson officially started yesterday. I am taking the four credits of Master’s Project Production and Graduate Sound Design with Pierre Archambault. The class with Pierre is going to be great, but I’m really nervous about being able to get everything done. I have 40 hours of work, my master’s project, and the work for that class. I have responsibilities at my church and I am super out of shape (and somewhat depressed about it) so I started seeing a personal trainer. Oh, and I need to be finding a job for post-graduation. I want to immediately start work in my field (as opposed to hanging out as the journalism department administrator). Why is this in my production journal? I am extremely anxious that my project will get short shrift. I have tons of amazing material and I just want to do it justice. It is wonderful to have class with one of my master’s project committee members—we got to check in about my project after class (way more convenient than tracking Pierre down). I don’t know how I forgot this, but he reminded me to put my recorded files on some sort of non-magnetic storage to make sure they’re safe. I copied all my material onto five DVD’s and put them in my office file drawer (along with all signed release forms). These Emerson filing cabinets better be fireproof. I am planning on going through all my interviews and logging topics/stories. Pierre suggested I transcribe them all word for word, but I don’t think my timeline will allow for that. I have a fairly good memory, so if I listen to them and take thematic notes, I will remember what is being said. When I get through all 10 hours or so of what I’ve got, I’ll start my paper edit.
