I've been a mess lateley CF 411

As you know, I didn't post an episode last week and I'm a little more than half way done this week. So why am I so far behind? Well lets take it from the top...

Four weeks ago, after a follow up for my lung condition, it turns out I did have asthma, and its starting to clear up. However my doctor was worried that I was taking too much medication for someone my age. I'm gonna be brutally honest. On a day to day basis I take a calcium, a probiotic, a vitamin, an anti depressant, two mood stablizers, a hormone (for periods) and an anti-infflamatory for my irretable bowel syndrome. I have taken this anti-inflamatory for a year now, and she wanted me to go off it, just to see how I do.

At first, I felt as if I had really bad ADD. Mabey becuase of a withdrawl from being on it for so long. But digestive wise, I was fine...until two weeks later. I had treated a friend for lunch since it was her birthday and I wanted to do something nice. We went to the Curry Leaf across the street from where we attend school. Afterwards I felt really sick. At first I thought it was food poisoning, but it didn't make sense becuase I have been to this place before and never had that problem. The next day I ate some food I've had before and still elt the same pain. So I ended up going back on it.

The problem with that one anti-inflamatory is one of the side effects is it makes me very sleepy but I eventually got used to that side effect before the doctor's order of going off it, so I'd take it in the morning along with my other food. After the two week absent, I had no longer became immune to that side effect and I felt as if I had really bad nacrolepsy, thinking it could be harmonal, since I tend to be sleepy from time to time. But after a week of being unproductive, I noticed it was the anti-inflamatory and had to take it at night again.

Last week my parents had gone on vacation since my mom's birthday is tommorow so my brother and I had the house to ourselves, with the help of my maternal grandparents whenever we needed something. Well heres the thing, my grandparents are so nervous and don't know emotions very well, so I've been very stressed for the last week. I've had this situation before, but since I'm in college, things have been different since I now have homework as well as chores. My brother dosen't do much, and gets mad at me whenever I ask him for help, so I no longer result to him.

I've been able to get some of the episode done, but due to not having any help around the house, dealing with stress, and homework, I haven't been going to bed at a normal time, which results to the episode being put off. Whenever I describe episodes in the editing process, I determine chunks the five minute mark. Yesterday, I was able to get the five minute threw ten minute mark done, but my goal was to get to the fifteen minute mark, but only ended up getting tweleve minutes completed total. Leaving the beyond to me. This episode seems it would be longer than the standard twenty minutes since I'm already at seventeen minutes and still have a lot to cover.

On top of that some of the footage is weird. I had gotten both Evangelion and Fruits Basket threw Piratebay, but certain episodes of Evangelion were missing, but when it comes to plot and editing, they were never important episodes. Fruits Basket had a different problem. All twenty six episodes were recieved but could not be put into final cut pro without converting them to an MOV. The problem was some of the episodes came in a file I had never heard of and crashed Wondershare until I would upgrade it....which I did. But now Wondershare cost money to convert to a computer file. Luckily I was able to get mabey 3/4s of the series converted, but the episodes missing were very vital when it comes to editing since Fruits Basket has a ton of charcters. So every episode missing, I have to find a decent youtube version to convert and its a pain in the ass.

I hope to have the episode done tonight. However I know I still have other things to focus on as well such as one homework assignment and planning for second semester and chores. I do take breaks in between editing, since I try not to let something so small take over my life. Worse case scenario the episode will be published Sunday and then I can finally watch and write the script for the Buffy movie.
