I think that pre-Virginia tour our class had gotten a little off kilter. Definitely there was an imbalance between getting stuff done, and taking responsibility for our roles. At this point I think it had become a class more than a film festival.
This is something that seems to happen mid-semester a lot of times as people become burnt out. It's important to realize when this is happening so that you can correct it in it's beginning stages. I think it was in our readings on procrastination and time management that it said guilt from not getting stuff done often times prevents us from moving forward. I agree with that statement. Accomplishing goals is motivation in itself to continue on because if you can do the one thing, why not another?
Sometimes it's a good idea to go back and list out the reasons why this festival & con is exciting and use that momentum to get going again. It's also a good idea to think about the ways in which I as an individual can contribute to the class. If I feel my talents aren't being fully utilized then it's up to me to find a way to use them.
