Well, thanks for the compliment, but it was you who passed and so the merit is yours. Now, just keep on doing like you've been doing so far. You'll make it.

As for any websites, I think Ghostboy has some interesting information about filmmaking on his site.

EDIT: Damn, it was on this page http://www.road-dog-productions.com/filmmaking.html but it under construction.

Sorry, I know its late, but it was bugging me.

Dear xixaxian friends, it was very hard and competitive, and I was admitted to the film school.
I am under a lot of pressure, because I also got admitted to the best and most prestigious technic school of the country, and I'm taking an engineering degree, so I have to choose. And it's the most difficult choice I've ever done. I've worked very hard to get into each school, and it's sad to abandon one of them, whatever that may be.

I must research possibilities to secure my position in one of them while I attend the other....

the deadline is wednesday.

Go to the engineering school. You don't need school to be a filmmaker, you need school to be an engineer, ya know?

[kotte]

Do what feels right...but as said, you don't need filmschool.

[ono]

Do you want to be an engineer or do you want to be a filmmaker?  Either way, what Stefen says makes most sense.  You can pick up most of the technical stuff from experience, books, and making films.  Not so much with engineering where I'd think it'd behoove you to get some proper instruction.  It all depends on what you think you need more formal training for.  You can always make films while studying to be an engineer, but you will miss out on opportunities in the field because you weren't submersed in it.

If you want to be a filmmaker, it is always valuable to study other things besides filmmaking.

I decided to take engeneering. My government feels that it is unfair that I can maintain my place in two universities, no matter how hard I worked to get it. I'm very sad to give up filmschool but I figured that it's more likely for me to take up film studies after I become an engineer than the other way around. Also, if I graduate from this university, my future is set and I'm free to do whatever I want, if I was to go to the filmschool now and didn't like it, I would be fucked.

It was a hard decision to make and I'm very very sad today, but I felt that this was the right thing to do.

But thanks again for all your help.

I'm very proud of my eyeball piercing story. I love to see people's faces cringe when I tell them about it.

I got kinda shocked when I read this. But ok, I have to admit, you're taking the safer route. And, well, I still may call you to work on some of my films, though  

By the way, I'm really enjoying my beginning in my new school. I'm actually quite orgasmic about it. However, I have this class called Dramatic Expression and that kind of scares me. It's like an acting class and I know I wasn't born to be an actor at all (tough I have to admit I kind of liked my first day in that class)

Yeah, now i'm counting on that, especially if there's any chance of me scoring with hot actresses , you now what they say about my university: " 90% are guys, 95% shave their moustasche ", not quite true, but there are days that it feels true   .

One route, which has been done before but could still work, is to show her taking the piercing thing to extremes; show her having other piercings, and lots of 'em.
