UNO film grad here. You sound like how I was when I started college. I started in engineering at LSU, did terrible, blamed it on not liking LSU and my major, decided, "Yeah man I'm gonna be a film major and do what I love!" Really it was just that I was lazy and had no idea what I wanted to do. Other people have said it but I would honestly take time off and try and figure out what it is you actually want to do.

If you want to work in film, you don't need a degree from UNO to do it. You can be a production assistant right now. Start looking. Stuff is always filming in New Orleans. Don't go to UNO film school thinking its NYU and you will have incredible access and you'll make an amazing senior film that you'll shop to everyone. I think I had one 2 minute film completed throughout my entire degree there (and it was deleted because I didn't save it off their hard drive in time).

No one is going to look at a resume and say "Oh UNO FTCA grad? Write us a script!" It doesn't work like that. You need to be good and lucky. Screenwriting 1001 taught by a UNO professor isn't going to get you anywhere. Buy a book on screenwriting and you've already gained all the knowledge they'll give you and saved a semester's worth of tuition. If you want to make films, make films. Get a camera and go.

I pretty much signed up for Tigerdroppings just to be in this country club. 1st post!

The past like 3 tournaments my game will randomly freeze in the middle of a round when I go to the loading screen between holes. Anyone else having this issue or this a problem with my ps3?
