Extremely frustrating.

Today was spent at home doing nothing particularly interesting to blog about. However, I did spend a great deal of this time considering what I want to do in the near future. My long term plan is to try and get into film-making, but I am fully aware that that will not happen for a good few years. What I realised is that right now I am stuck in Drumnadrochit where there is nothing to do and no prospects for any future. I want to get out but I have no idea what to do if I was to leave. I spent the evening looking around at film-making courses but all I seem to be able to find is "film studies" which appears to be sitting in a room watching "artistic" movies and writing essays about the techniques and such. This is not what I want; I want to learn how to make movies and how to make them well in order for the movies to become popular so studios or other investors will give me lots of money to make more movies. I am aware that breaking into Hollywood is more complicated than this summation, but that is the general idea.

The closest thing I found was the University of Bournemouth. I know someone studying film there and have heard good things, but then the question is raised about funding; there's no way I can afford a full university course.

All in all today hasn't been a great day; to top off the larger scale worries about my lack of prospects in my current situation, there were some much smaller aggravations present today, firstly in the telephone exchange in Drum being terrible leading to horrifically slow internet for all, and my replacement Watchmen Blu-ray being faulty again. Currently I'm pretty cheesed off with everything; I'm in the mood where I can't be bothered doing petty things like watch a movie or play a game, I want the opportunity and confidence to make major changes. Unfortunately I currently lack both of these, but perhaps if I continue researching courses and such something will give me the opportunity and the opportunity may give me a boost into doing something about it.
