stuff to do!

So, not a lot going on as far as going on shoots or anything right now, but on Febuary 5 we are heading out to the Women's Prison in Chino (home sweet home) in the afternoon to do some interviews, and on the 7th we are headed up to i think the Valencia area to film at the men's prison for the day. For now I am transcribing interviews. I am on the second one, and have about forty minutes left. I thought I would be able to crank them out pretty fast, but it takes longer than I expected. it takes me about an hour for every ten minutes of speaking...pathetic typing, I know. It is hard stuff to listen to a lot of the time, and it makes me sick about what some of these women went through. toward the end of the last CD i finished last week I couldn't even type any more, I just stopped to listen because I was in shock from what I was hearing. tears were streaming down my face as the woman was describing what she went through, and I got very little sleep that night because I was so disterbed. Hearing things like that make you seriously grateful for everything you have.
