Your avatar What is happening in your life? Question
03/15/21 12:20 PM CDT
Arun Patel I just try really hard to take things a day at a time. School is so much and teaching is
really demanding. I'm trying to write a screenplay on top of it. It feels like I don't have very much control
of my life. I'm always trying to fit everything I have to do into my schedule, and I don't always feel sure I
can do it. I know I can now, but things just get so hard.
Arun Patel Thank you.
Your avatar What do you teach? Question

Arun Patel It depends on the semester, but mostly film writing classes. I feel kind of shady teaching
what I'm in school for myself, as if I'm some expert. It's fine, though.
Arun Patel Alright. I get it.
