Screnzy update: 2 pages. I'm just finishing up Marie's first class at the new school. She's even met her friend/colleague's niece, Kelsey, who is a student there. Kelsey's going to become a minor character throughout the movie. She's just lost her parents in the virus affected Mars, and because she's turning eighteen, the government is forcing her to marry and have a child. Marie and Kelsey are going to form a strange friendship through this. 58/100.
Weather's looking nice today. No snow, no rain. Little bit windy, but what did you expect? It'll be nice to go back to work today, so long as my parents don't leave without me. That's why I'm writing so early, actually. I have to get some more sleep before work, and I'm not sure if I'll have any time to do this later. See my post from a few days ago about my sleep schedule for more information.
You know something else I realized while writing my script? There isn't a good substitute for the word "ma'am" - at least not one that would apply to a woman under forty. I mean, Kelsey was supposed to be introducing herself to Marie, her teacher who is only eleven years older than her (28) but "I'm Kelsey Hamilton, Ma'am" sounds far to old, and "I'm Kelsey Hamilton, Ms Wellesley" sounds too formal and strange. I settled for not having her address Marie at all, but it's still nagging at me. =(
Anyway, must go and get some rest.
