You can laugh if you want to though.  :teddyr:

The International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) is holding its' annual congress and Summer Film School in Pretoria this year and I'm going to the film school to learn at the feet of the masters there.

Damn ~ I'm almost 44 and I'm going back to school? What would the teachers who wrote me off entirely in high school think about this? They would probably go  :buggedout: :buggedout: :buggedout: :buggedout: but I'm looking forward to it.  :teddyr: :teddyr: :thumbup:

Who's laughing?  It's cool to be among your peers. I bet you'll be an integral part of many a learned discussion. Enjoy!

Thanks Newt: I have to also give a class on SA film history too, so that should be fun.  :thumbup:

I went back to school when I was in my 30s.  I can see myself going back again at some point.  Good luck!   :cheers:

Thank you sir ~ something tells me I'm going to like it. If I do, I'll apply for a bursary to study there in 2012.  :teddyr:

Well done, sir!  Stop learning, start dying, I always say.

I'm proud Trev but I don't want to see you in a schoolboy outfit.

 :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:

That is also something I wouldn't like to see.  :buggedout: :buggedout: +  :teddyr: :teddyr:

Somehow I knew this!   :wink:  :thumbup:

Wow, Trevor, that's really awesome!  I hope it goes well.  Good luck! :cheers:

Good for you, Trevor.  Keep learning ... keep growing, eh ... your mind that is.  :teddyr:

 :teddyr: :teddyr: :teddyr:

When I start droning on about SA censorship, my underpants and the undiscovered wonders of the place I work in, all you'll hear will be the sounds of many heads hitting many desks.  :buggedout: :buggedout: :wink:

Thanks, Peter: I just checked the dates and I will be away from work for two weeks.  :teddyr: Yippee!

Thank you, kind lady.  :smile:

My mind is a fungus when it comes to film: just keeps on growing.  :wink:

Oh, I don't know. I could have a little peep if he wanted to post a pic   :teddyr:

Thats wonderful!!!!  :cheers: Go get em!
(No spitwads or rubber bands,though!)

Congratulations Trev! Going back to school when your 44 just means that you'll bring a different, dare I say, more seasoned perspective than some of the other students. Tehy'll probablt benefit from your experience. Keep us posted on your adventures.

Why would I laugh. I'm 43 and working on an MBA.

At first I misread this as you have to TAKE a class in SA film history and I thought, "Geez, Trevor should be teaching that class!".

This makes perfect sense.

Wonderful news! have a great time!

And like RC said, no spitwads!

I think Trev could rock the shirt, tie, blazer and flannels, possibly even the hat...but I'm not so sure about the short pants (sorry!)  Is there any chance you play guitar, Trevor?

Are you kidding??  You are a fount of engaging information and if you speak with half the passion that comes through in your posts on the subject on this board, your talks will be SRO and they'll be turning them away at the door!   :thumbup:

Never too old to learn. My sister, basically a Grade 12 graduate, started studying to be a physician in her late 30s, and did extremely well, being more focused on her studies than her younger classmates. I now have two siblings who are depressingly more wealthy than I am.

Good luck, Trevor.

You're more brave than I am!  I'm sure you'll be great!

Will you keep your job at the archives, or is this a full-time deal?
-Ed

Congratulations Trevor.  I know you'll slay 'em   :thumbup:

All the best to you Trevor! Like others have already said, we never stop learning in this life. Your desire to learn more is to be admired more than anything else.

A Japanese schoolgirl outfit would be riotous.  Please consider it, Trev!

Those will probably be aimed at me.  :twirl: :wink:

No, I'm not entirely AC or DC, thanks.  :wink:

I can just see myself like that murderous schoolgirl with the ball and chain in Kill Bill ~ I have to shave my legs though.  :wink: :twirl:

Honestly, if I could afford to I would either be in graduate school or where to graduated from raising my GPA to meet graduate school requirements right now.

Good luck buddy!

The archives and FIAF are sponsoring the summer school so it's only for three weeks. Still, I'm looking forward to it.  :thumbup:

Thanks, Bob.  :smile:

Looking at my papers, I just realized that I won't be online for nearly three weeks!  :bluesad:

Trevor, please, say it isn't so!  :buggedout:

I wish I could say so but I will be away from work from the 28th March to the 15th April.  :bluesad:

It's Friday 25 March here ~ my last working day for a while (although I might be in tomorrow)  and I am really going to miss my family here. Yes, even you, WyreWizard. 

:smile: :smile: but also a bit  :bluesad: :bluesad:

Three weeks go by pretty quickly.  Make the most of it and good luck! :thumbup:

We're gonna miss you.  :bluesad:




Well, maybe not the smell...

J/K  :wink:

Thanks, russell: I'm looking at the itinerary right now ~ seems like more excursions than anything else.  :thumbup:

 :teddyr: :teddyr: :teddyr:

Believe it or not, I bought new undies for these three weeks.  :teddyr: :thumbup:

And don't forget the emergency undies I sent you in case of an accident.  :teddyr:

And take an apple for the teacher. And a truncheon in case of bullies.

Be well, my friend, and come back as soon as you are able.

My mom hijacked those, unfortunately.  :wink:


We here in SA are more refined: we use a cricket bat with nails through the blade.  :buggedout: :wink:


I shall be back on the 16th April. :smile:

I'm missing you already.   :bluesad:

We'll miss you, Trevor.  :bluesad:  Have fun!   :smile:

Awwww....... *HUG*

Have a great time,buddy! But hurry back!  :smile:

I started my film degree at Boston University when I was 18.  I didn't finish due to financial reasons.  When I was in my 30s I resumed my film studies at Emerson College.  Still didn't finish.  Some day, I will go back to school and finish my final courses and I'll probably die of old age right after graduation.

Good luck, Mr. T!

 

Thanks, AHD!

You scared the s**t out of me Trevor. I thought you were quitting Bad Movies.

With Trev, its never an accident.

Its always with deliberate intent....  :wink:

Enjoy yourself Trev!  This place won't be quite the same without you.  Come back soon!

Anyway. Have fun!

I am the first to admit that this is partly my own wishful thinking, but I have a hard time believing the Trevor will be able to stay away.

We're gonna miss you Trevor!  I hope it goes well! :cheers:

Hurry back!

Good luck! Hope everything goes great! Site isn't the same without ya.

I think we should hold a candle light vigil until Trevor returns.  I already feel a vast emptiness here in the forum.  Life is cruel.  Cruel, I say!  Trevor . . . Trevor . . . why hast thou forsaken me?

Aw. I think I missed him... Well!  See you when you get back!  Don't they have internets at schools?  Do they still do panty raids?

good luck in finishing the course (and you can't keep wearing the same undies everyday! :tongueout:)

This forum is always a bit more drab and dreary when Trevor isn't around.

Thanks, Ronnie!  :teddyr:

Thanks, Burgo ~ I just have to ask: who or what is that in your avatar: the moustache with a person attached to it?  :buggedout:

Thanks, Rev for the blessing  :wink: :thumbup:

I'll try to log on with my PDA but it will inevitably make everything FUBAR which will PMO, leading me not to ROFLMAO but telling my PDA that IMHO it should GTFO and LMUA. *

* Leave My Undies Alone  :buggedout:

Thanks, Peter!  :thumbup:

Thanks, Jase!  :thumbup:

No, never ever, not even if this site becomes a paysite. My family is here and I am here for life, however long that will be.

 :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:

No you didn't: I'm at work today (Saturday, for most of today).


Pay internet only so I'll try to log on with that horrible PDA of mine.


I hope so.  :hot: :hot:  :teddyr:

Oh no? Watch me do just that.  :teddyr:

Awwwww........... :bluesad:

umm... we'll take your word for it.  Nobody wants to actually watch that. 

Am here but only for a while - too much film developer inhalation.

It's from MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE (which I'm hoping will be remade some day as BURGOMASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE).

Good luck on your trip, Trevor. :thumbup:

@Burgo, and what a great movie that is. (one of the best intros) I hope for a remake myself.

You'd think that after smelling your underpants for as long as you have, you'd be used to that sort of thing. :teddyr: :tongueout:
