Don't even get me started on the whole "lack of a set" issue we have going over at Mind Games. Even that's pushing our tape dates well back into February, with us having to work around several campus events (Dance Marathon, for one), Spring Break and the like...never mind host/crew/contestant schedules. So many variables, so many places where things could go wrong (and, as far as I can see, already have). I'm usually not comfortable starting so late in the semester (as in February 26 late), but seeing as we're kinda facing some tough times on the show due to a lack of set and a re-casting of a host, I'm kinda resigned to it. On the other hand, we have an amazing set of people who want to work for the show this semester, so I'm happy. It'll be cool to see what kinds of things they come up with.

I've already detailed my angst as a student journalist in a previous entry here, but scheduling to go to Bell (our designated community for the semester) is a little difficult, considering I basically have to mooch rides off people just to go to the place. Not having a car, especially in California, is a real drag. But luckily I've worked around things thus far, and I'm bumbling through it as best I can.

Then there are people you want to see, people you haven't seen in a long time, and you set up a time to meet at long freakin' last...
...and then the Fates conspire against you, pushing it back to "whenever we both have time" (which, these days, I'm convinced, means "never"). A shame, too, because we'd been planning to meet "before things got too crazy"...now, it seems, they already have. Time can be your worst enemy, not just in journalism, but even for the little things.
All this aggravated by the fact that I haven't had a phone for a week.
