Lovin' the new job
Mood:  bright
Topic: Post-Graduation
I'm at Ten Worlds Entertainment in Hollywood. A small post-production company that does documentaries for the History Channel. I've been here a week and it's going great.
I gave nannying a chance but it just didnt feel right. I was itching to do something film-related, so finally here I am again...and not doing temp work!
I'm listening to Dave Matthew's solo album, which is actually quite good. It's very peaceful to listen to while logging footage, which is one of the most tedious tasks ever. Oh well.
I have great hours...6:30pm to 3am. Sounds crazy but I get to sleep in till 12:30pm...or whenever I want actually. Then I get the whole day to do whatever...which means I can rollerblade everyday! I work best at night, so this works out really well.

I just got this great feeling, which made me decide to do a journal entry. I just feel like filmmaking is meant to be for me. Everytime I feel this way I'm reminded of the importance of staying focused on MY life. It's amazing how hazerdous it is to look outside yourself and compare your life with others. When you're focusing and positive it very comfortable. Though I do have finacial worries...

I'm saving up so that I can afford my own place in LA, a single apt. That is so exciting for me and I hope I can afford it. I'm starting freelance work as a child photographer for extra money on the weekends/time off...so if you're interested let me know!

Back to work!

Another Step
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: Post-Graduation
I received good news today: I got a new full-time job! I will be working in Hollywood at a small post-production house as an assistant editor. Very exciting. Right now I'm temping at another cool place: Los Angeles Center Stages. They have several studios, which are occupied by big film productions and TV shows. Mr. and Mrs. Smith filmed here for example. It's right in downtown LA so I have a cool view of the city.
Graduation was great. I finally got to see my boyfriend Casey and my cousin Mimi. Lots of fun. Oh, and my sister, parents, relatives, and old friends. Good times. My grandparents and Uncle David didnt make it though. = (
I better get back to work...oh wait. The other great news is that I finally bought a G5!! It's amazing. I have this whole set up in my room. I bought a media converter so I can transfer old analog footage, so I've been editing all sorts of fun things. It'd very exciting. If you have any projects you need edited let me know. ; )
Off to work...
