I apologize for not regularly updating my blog, I know my loyal fans have been extremely disappointed not to here more about my adventures in LA. I'm sorry to report that there really hasn't been any adventures or excitement on my end, and that's why I've been so bad about updating my blog.
One thing I did do recently is...drumroll please...get my haircut!! Exciting, right? Actually, for me, it kind of is. I've had long hair for about a year now and I decided I was through with it, so I cut it off. All of it. Below is a picture I took today in the office with my webcam.
So, yeah. That's my haircut.
In other news, today was my last day at Pangea. I wasn't intending on this week to be my last, but my current financial situation as it is, I new I didn't have enough money to drive around and eat in LA for the next couple of weeks. I'm going to be coming home (to Arkansas) next week. I'll be stopping in Texas first. It's my sister's birthday next week, so I'll stop by and see her for a day or two, and then I'll be home. And then in two weeks, I graduate!! Yippee!
At first, I thought I would just stay in LA, even after my internship was over. But I think I want to come home for now. First, I need to save up some money. Secondly, getting my internship and coming to LA happened so fast, that I didn't really make any plans or have any idea what I was going to do after I got here. I think I need to take some time to gain some perspective, think about what I want to do and then go about getting it done. Thirdly, I'm still thinking about Grad school, so I may just work for a year, save money, and apply to more schools next year.
The good news is that everyone at Pangea was great today. Both of my bosses told me to keep in touch and that when I get back out here, to let them know and they'll try to get me a job or another internship. I actually think I probably may try to get another internship, because even entry-level jobs want at least one year of experience in the industry before they hire you. And that's where internships are helpful. The good thing is, is now that I've done it before, I'll know what I need to do next time (like going to an entertainment temp agency so I can work a few days a week and make money).
Overall, the whole experience has been a lot of fun and I can't wait to come back permanently. Everyone in my office is awesome and I can't wait to see their first film when it comes out (it goes into production this fall, I believe).
