Student documentaries
I keep thinking that things will calm down, slow down, I'll be less stressed and overwhelmed. This never seems to happen. It feels like every term it just gets worse.
Then, there are the days when I get to watch my students' films. I don't know how it happens (because I believe it has very little to do with me) but every spring at this time I start to see their films take shape and I am amazed... amazed at the courage, the skill, the depth and the hard work that the documentary students put into their films. They are the ones that make all of this crazy running around and going to meetings and everything else worth it. Just those 2-3 hours each week I get to spend with them in class talking about their films. They are my sanity.
