3 Days!

It still seems weird to me that I am going to THE Sundance Film Festival. It's such an incredible opportunity to take advantage of. Today and tomorrow will be orientation related activities and getting ready for the trip. Then Saturday is a free day and then we leave 3 am on Sunday!

This morning has mostly been getting to know each other more than just recognizing everyone. We also heard from a few students who had gone in the past two years, their experiences, and what to expect. It was a very informative time. The condo we have is also very nice. On January 4th we found out the condo we they had signed for us in July was taken because they had cancelled our reservation because of miscommunication, mostly on their part. So we got a better condo for the same price as a result, which is nice of them to do.

This afternoon we'll be watching a movie or portions of a couple movies. I'm not quite sure. And then I believe tonight we will be looking at all the films we have tickets for picking our top four we want to go to. All the tickets that were purchased in our name go into a 'pile' so to speak and then we can choose our top 4. So the ones I had previously listed as ones I'm going to might not necessarily be the ones I am going to. We should know what we're going to watch by tomorrow or Saturday at the very latest.

Most, if not all, of us will actually see a film Sunday afternoon after we get there so we get right into things! We'll be watching 14-15 films during the week and we will probably only have room for one or two more if we really wanted to see something. It'll definitely be exhausting, but it's such a great experience, so I'm perfectly fine with that!
