It’s a cool, rainy day here in Denton this morning; same as yesterday. I had a very productive meeting with my RTVF partner yesterday about the film we are assigned to make in the next three weeks, and I think we have a pretty good thing going. Basic, easy, a neat story, and exceptionally low budget. I think all we need is a bucket…

I’ve also reached a milestone in my life away from home. I have just racked up my first library fine. I now owe the City fifty cents. Can this keep me from having to do jury duty? Let’s hope so.

I’ve been running pretty tight on cash the past few days, since my last paycheck was just a little over $100 and the beginning of school means a lot of extra expenses. I’ve also opened a new bank account at Bank of America, since my credit union removed their ATM from the UNT student union. I e-mailed them asking why this happened, and they said that the University had made their yearly renewal process longer and harder, and that they didn’t get enough business with that ATM. The woman who responded to me, who turned out to the the Senior VP of Marketing and Customer Relations, then asked me to recommend anything the Denton Area Teachers Credit Union could do to better serve members on campus…

Gee, I dunno, maybe PUT AN ATM ON CAMPUS?!! Seriously, you should have enough balls to fill out a little extra paperwork. Because of their laziness, I have now switched to a bank that has around 18,000 ATMs and branches, instead of 5 ATMs and four branches spread across the county. I’ll still keep my account open at DATCU, just in case I need a lower-interest loan, but that’s it.

Now that I’ve let myself vent for awhile, I guess I need to head home and tidy up.

The only class I have yet to go to is my last Radio, TV & Film pre-major course. I’m not too worried, but I do hope I get a good partner in the film production portion of the course. I’m really excited about the audio production portion of it, though, since I had so much fun helping a friend get his radio spot made.

I filled out a volunteer form at our campus radio station, KNTU 88.1, but they have yet to call me. Maybe I’ll ask them about it this next week. I would definitely love that.

Coming up this next weekend is my family reunion in Lueders, TX. Well, it’s more of a distant family reunion, since the majority of the family is that of my great-grandmother on my mother’s side. It’s usually pretty fun; watching hillbillies drink and shoot guns while our section of the family just drinks and laughs. It should make for quite a bit of fun. It’s also in the middle of nowhere, so don’t expect one of my sunday writings next week.
