Everything from Opera to The Beastie Boys
So, today was my first day at Warner Brothers. Can you hear the Halleluhia Chorus as you stare at this picture:
I know I can. I left the house at 8am this morning. I got to the studio in 18 minutes. That meant 45 minutes of driving around/stalling before I decided to go in. I took some scenic routes... no, I was not lost! Okay, so I got lost trying to avoid the gate. When I finally did go in, I was still early. I was the first person there. When everyone else got there, I was introduced to all the people in the office, including the other intern for the day. He helped me a lot today and I had a lot of fun getting to know someone new. However, he reminded me exactly of my critique partner in Teleplay, Thomas. That was weird, and nice, because it was like I already had a friend. :)
Here is what I did today:
1. Arrived/Met People- 9 to 9:05am.
2. Ran to Starbucks to get a tall drip and a muffin- 9:05-9:20am.
3. Read a script 9:20 to 11:30am.
4. Wrote Coverage for the script 11:30-12:30am.
5. Was given Script #2 to read for fun. 12:30am-1ish.
6. Walked alllllllllllllll the way across the lot and delivered a FedEx package. I've never seen so many doors to one room before in my life. It was a maze of cooridors and doors.
7. Ate lunch at the Grill: Turkey Burger, Fries, and a Coke ($9)- 1ish to 1:45
8. Finished reading Script #2, walked to the Executive Building, Learned to Scan and Log things- 1:45 to 5pm
9. Was given Script #3 to read for fun, met the author of Script #1, made calls to airlines, copied an article- 5pm to 6:15ish.
That was my day! Then I got in my car to come home... my ramp onto the freeway was blocked by construction so I drove around for awhile until I found another on-ramp. When I got on the freeway it was pretty stop and go. This is when I listened to any music I could find on the radio... from opera to beastie boys. It took me an hour to get home. :)
I'm very tired, but very excited to go back in the morning! Another 9am-6pm day!
