So, I just got out of the banquet, and it ran MUCH longer than expected. What was supposed to be a concise evening turned into three hours filled with impromptu speeches delivered by people who, let’s be honest, do NOT know how to give speeches. While it was amusing at times, the endless stories and awkward pauses definitely wore me out. However, amidst the chaos, I had many reasons to celebrate: I won MVP for the second year in a row! It felt great to be recognized again by my teammates and coaches, but the entire event also got me thinking about my senior year (next year) wrestling banquet. It’s hard not to imagine that I'll feel that bittersweet twinge, knowing it'll be the end of the road for me in this sport I’ve loved and poured so much into.
Anyway, I’m getting off track here. By the time I left the banquet, I was feeling completely exhausted but still determined to push through and film. I called Mateo and Gio, hoping to rally our spirits and get things moving. However, it turns out we were all feeling the same way—worn out and a bit drained. They both agreed that Sunday would actually be easier for them, as they had other commitments that would require us to rush filming if we tried to go ahead today. It was a relief to have that understanding, and we decided to regroup and tackle this fresh tomorrow.
So, the updated plan is to knock out the two bedroom scenes tomorrow, and once Alex arrives around 2 or 3pm, we’ll film the first and last scenes that he’s in. I’m still feeling good about this weekend overall; I think we can capture some great moments together. If everything goes smoothly, I hope to jump into the editing process next week. Until then...
