So it’s the beginning of September. Vasant and I are still in one class, in between quarter’s and Vasant is working hard with my Dad on the construction project. We just celebrated our three year anniversary this last month. Vasant took me to go see Guiseppe Verdi’s Aida, a famous Italian opera. It was only my second experience with live opera and his very first. We both were FLOORED by the performance and Vasant wants us to be dedicated opera patrons from now on. Next opera is in October, Strauss’ Electra (the vengeful daughter of Agamemnon, not the ridiculous comic book character). We’re hoping to make it.
Summer quarter just ended and, aside from building, we’re going to spend all this next month working on stories and scripts. We have a lot to get through before our fall quarter starts, because when it does, our creative projects have to be put to the side again. The good news is, for those I haven’t told, senior year, our schooling is going to provide 100% funding for our independent film, script revision process and the revision process for my novel. Yay for being Husky Promise students!!!
On that note, let me just say how happy I am to be in school later in life. As a student married to another student, we receive almost 100% of our school costs from the school and the state. If I’d gone earlier in life, when I was a dependent of my parents, I would’ve had to take out a ton of loans for tuition and books. Not to mention, I didn’t know back then what I wanted out of life. Now that I know, Vasant and I get our dream projects mentored and refined by incredible writers and cinephiles and then get the money to produce our film. None of this would’ve been possible or even imaginable had Vasant and I done the respectable thing of going to college when we were “supposed” to.
