and all the while, she was silent still.

enamouredGuess who is one of the only people in her intro class to have her film featured in the intro student showcase tomorrow night?
I AM SO SCARED. On one hand, I get extra credit for it, and it's not going to be among the juried films, so there's that. And, I mean, this is an accomplishment. Something I filmed and edited and wrote is going to be on an actual movie-sized screen! But on the other, it's mine and it's up there and people get to see it and possibly hate it. I am perfectly okay with critique, even when I'm certain I've done a stellar job and then other people say it's not as great as previously thought, but it just makes me nervous. And it's my first movie too. Hello, anxiety.
I wish I could get over the feeling that just because people don't always like or fawn over what I create or do or say that it doesn't mean that they don't like me. Sometimes I still feel like that. It's universal and normal, but I'm so self-conscious about it sometimes.
And while we're still talking about critiquing!
Plz to be telling me what you think (anonymously, as are the rules of that).
Also good news: I GOT AN A ON MY ADVERTISING PROJECT IN MY MEDIA WRITING CLASS. YAAAAY.
Finally, I wish I could tell off customers who are insanely rude to you even when you are trying your hardest to be nice to them. The woman I had to deal with tonight was even bitchy to the manager she demanded to talk to. I do not understand why people seem to think that if you are in retail, you deserve to be bitched at. We provide customer service, and although you're supposed to ensure that the customer is happy and will shop at your store again, it is damn hard sometimes to make sure that happens when said customer is being rude to you.
