1.2 i got excited for school again today

Somebody had the bright and super UN-toolish idea to make a Facebook group for everyone in Class of 2010-Tisch Dramatic Writing Department.  I felt good being able to fight the urge to join.  Not as cute after senior year of high school when you are too excited to meet your new roommate not to create an air-tight friendship via internet that falls to nerves and awkwardness once you meet in person a month and a half later.  So this time I just fell prey to accepting Facebook friendships of 2 of my future classmates.

...it was awesome.  Thumbing through their profiles (I will go back later and forage in greater detail) got me all souped up about September.  I was thrilled at the idea of getting to read their work--figure out their writing styles and appreciate our diversity in our craft.  They seemed so different in personality already, just between the two of them, but I felt a connection with both---I guess the whole "I dig words" connection.  Very cool shit, though.  

I was even excited just on the premise of meeting and getting to know them.  New friends...new people to get to know and hopefully forge positive and somewhat lasting relationships with.  Scary, after what relationships have brought me in my most recent couple of years of life.  But also some of the most promising stuff to enter my radar too.  These people could be different.  That's just it: these people that will soon be such a huge part of my world before I know it could be different.  And that in itself gets me excited for my future...because it lends itself to SO much. 

Tisch Dramatic Writing Class of 2010 is gonna rock! Join the Facebook Group!!!
