Bio/Tutorial Response

 Hello everyone that will be reading this. Im Kevin Smith I am a film and psychology major in my senior year at UNCW. I love watching all types of film and being active whether its film related or just going to the gym. I was the Visions 5 Hospitality and Outreach Coordinator and this year for Visions 6 I am the Programming Director. I am excited to get going with this semester. I am looking forward to learning how to find presenters and organizing the call for entries. Im also excited to work with Rob and finding a good keynote. I am also looking forward to meeting with my fellow directors and figuring out what image we want for Visions 6 and how we are going to market it. I know I will learn valuable skills that will help me run another film festival when I graduate. Since I have been in Visions I have grown so much and I know this year will help me take it to the next level. I greatly enjoyed the readings and the tutorials for this week. I found the reason I tend to procrastinate is due to faulty assumptions. I often stress myself out before I start some tasks because I feel like they will be more difficult than they actually end up turning out to be. I like the idea of breaking "large" tasks into smaller ones that can be tackled one at a time with breaks which will reduce the anxiety that typically leads to me procrastinating. I also enjoyed the Google calendar and Google drive quick start tutorials. I used both systems last year but it was definitely a great refresher. Navigating both systems can be tricky at times so it helps to have a descriptive explanation to how the system works. All that being said I know this semester is going to be great.
