The Need for Structure

I'm almost into my third week of the semester and while re-reading an essay by Josh Becker named "The Need for Structure" -- which deals with the act breakdowns of traditional narrative films -- I was struck with how difficult I've been making my life in regards to my teaching. Every Monday and Wednesday, seeing that I teach in T-Th, has become an ordeal of preparing the following days lectures/teachings. I'd always scoffed at the detailed syllabi thatthe full-time faculty dredge up every semester, but I'm starting to see the wisdom of that approach.

I'm always stressing preparation, structure and organization when writing a screenplay... guess I should practice what I preach.
