Influences

My knowledge of life in general has changed drastically since I started college because of all the deprogramming that has been going on from all my professors especially Leeper. This may be cocky but this summer I thought I had a pretty full grasp of what life was. I was working a full time job getting about 45 hours a week and honestly all I had to pass the time was to think about this DMA program at Huntington and  look forward to it. I actually built it up so much that I never thought it could fulfill my expectations and it didn't. What my previous thoughts were about Digital Media were completely twisted from the truth and I thought this major was to teach you about only film. I am no where near disappointed with my experience so far and actually love the journey of self discovery as cliche as that sounds. Now as to things that actually pertain to the class I love the fact that Leeper shoots straight and will interact with our blogs...even if it is just to make sure that we know were wrong about things. I recently read the script for Sense and Sensibility and  I must say it was an excellent story that mixed both love and satire in the same story. This goes along with the lesson over which their is the seasons which can represent  feelings or types of story. The book is a must read if you would like an example of a literary piece that dabbles in both "Spring" and "Winter."As the amount of feelings that are felt surprised me greatly to the point where at one point I was both laughing and to the point I was crying because of the story. I am in no way one who cry's while watching movies and I can't remember a movie or film that has ever made me cry but this book encompasses things that I never actually thought about especially as a guy because of what the story is based around. Basically I'm trying to open myself up to different type of influences in film and literature so if anyone has a suggestion of something that impacted them in any way at all write a comment for it so I can start making a bucket list of things to watch/read/listen to.
