Nouning: SiLA Drama Writing

This one, too, will receive positive and negative feedback because there is just too much to be said both ways.
All I know is that I'm glad it's over.

Positive (SiLA Drama) People:
1. Rachel: Awesome (outspoken) Friend
2. Eric: Awesome (Morgan Freeman-loving) Friend
3. Jack: Awesome (non-Charles) Instructor
4. Astride: Awesome (full-bellied) laughter
5. Rebecca: Awesome (Jim) facial expressions
6. Diablo Cody: Awesome (crazy) WGA Speaker
7. Raleigh Studios Parking Facility Guys: Awesome (Funny) Start to my morning

Positive (SiLA Drama) Places:
1. WGA West Building: Awesome (Free!) Lecture Facility
2. AstroBurger: Awesome (Post-class) Hangout
3. Raleigh Studios: Awesome (Classroom) Facility

Positive (SiLA Drama) Things:
1. Without a Trace Spec: Awesome (not-so-awesome) first attempt at a first draft of a TV spec
2. Feedback: Awesome (20-scripts worth) notes on the spec
3. Connections: Awesome (friends and lecturers) expansion of my people-base out here

Negative (SiLA Drama) People:
1. C.M.: Ookie (Creepy and arrogant) classmate
2. C.H.: Ookie (Disrespectful and tardy) instructor
3. T.S.: Ookie (obnoxious lump) classmate
4. L.D.: Ookie (worthless) showrunner giving me "feedback"

Negative (SiLA Drama) Places:
1. Hollywood: Ookie (dirty) town
2. Raleigh's Bathrooms: Ookie (small and cramped) potties
3. Palms Thai: Ookie (bad pad thai with tofu) class dinner

Negative (SiLA Drama) Things:
1. 3-hour days: Ookie (short and worthless) class times
2. One week off: Ookie (lack of learning) break in our $10,000 schedule
3. Communication breakdown: Ookie (typical of Columbia) bane of this program's existence
4. Copier: Ookie (Murphey's Law Loving) Breakdown Beast

So there it is. In all, I met good people, but the lack of classtime and respect from one of the instructors was very disappointing. Here's to producing next week!
