Also, I feel like I say this all the time, but September has been a bit crazy and tumultuous! Lots of changes and drama happening at work, plus I moved, started class again for the semester, and am finishing up work on a documentary project that will finish in October. I haven't been really consciously focusing on my goals for the last several week! And I have been watching The Office and Penny Dreadful too much on Netflix.

PROGRESS - I have sadly fallen behind on this again! I have watched only one film that I know of that was directed by a woman since Week 2 - Trudell, a documentary about Native American activist, John Turdell who was very active in the American Indian Movement and became a well-known poet. I still have to catch up on two films though!
