I'm Living in a Montage

You know how in sports movies they always have that musical montage sequence, showing how the team is training and getting ready for the big game? That's my life right now. I sometimes find myself wondering what day it is. Every day is the same. Hopefully, the trend really is that I'm getting better like a in a movie. Here's how my montage would be scripted:

--Music: "Eye of the Tiger"--

We see Barb sitting at her desk, going through flashcards.
Another shot, on the couch in the living room, typing on her computer.
Another shot, clearly a few days later, sundry water bottles and soda cans litter her desk, she is taking a multiple choice exam.
Now sitting on the floor in her room in the same sweatpants she's been wearing for days, Barb is outlining essays.
More flashcards. More typing. Grading multiple choice tests.
Quick cuts-- we see her getting 20%, 46%, 78%, 30% (as she cries) and then 80% (she jumps up and down in her room, wearing the same sweat pants and surrounded by water bottles).

--End Scene--


Happy 4th! Hope you all have fun over there!
