The start of a hectic week

Tomorrow I will be leaving for the rest of the week to a National competition for TV Production in Nashville, TN. My school will be competing in a competition as a whole where we make an 8 minute news show based off of a prompt in 8 hours--all impromptu. I will also be competing in an individual competition with a smaller group to make a convention recap over the course of a few days. This National competition will feature some of the best in high school and middle school TV Production, including our fiercest rival: Hawaii. Last year schools from Florida got in a chanting fight with Hawaiian schools, and that got very intense to say the least.

Enough about the competition! What I want to say is that I will have little to no time over the course of the remaining week to stay focused on my film opening, let alone do work for other classes. So what I intend to do is lay out a physical schedule so I know what I have to do when I get back, and hit the ground running--maybe sprinting--while I'm at it.
