Feelin' Stronger Everyday

Monday- The shoot went really well considering there were only two crew members. The only thing that put a damper on the day was A's car breaking down on the way to our second location. I'm not sure of the outcome yet but I really feel for her. It brought up memories of my car dying last year. I'm hoping the news is much better for her than it was for me.

Mary's shoot was rescheduled for tomorrow due to the snow we received on Sunday. So tomorrow promises to be full of fun and excitement!

I also get to see Alina tomorrow for the first time in months. We have a lot to catch up on and I've got a special gift for her birthday.

I'm so nervous for my shoot on Saturday but I know everything will be ok. I'm currently revising the script, preparing shot sheets, and finishing up the shooting schedule. It will be nice to utilize an all female crew!

There is a lot to be done in the coming weeks but I have all the faith in the world that things will turn out the way they need to. I'm ready to GRADUATE and move on to the next chapter in my life. I'm so lucky to have such a great support system from my friends and family.

XOXO

P.S. If anyone is looking for the perfect graduation and/or birthday gift for me, I'll take a pair of munchkin cats (I prefer calico and orange tabby) ;)

I'm so oh oh tired, I have not slept a wink

It's 11:53p.m. on Sunday night.

Tomorrow is the first day of Spring Break. However, I cannot sleep. I am shooting my final project for my capstone course in the morning and I'm pretty sure only one other person besides myself will be there to help. Everyone is working, out of town, or too busy to help.

Fuckers!

I kid, I kid. I'm extremely nervous because although this project doesn't have to be top quality (the instructor knows absolutely nothing about production) I would like to be able to use some of the footage for my reel. The project is also giving me an opportunity to gain more experience with Avid Media Composer.

The fact that I'm a major control freak and only have one other person assisting me does not put my mind at ease. I have confidence that everything will be fine in the end but I feel like I'm going to vomit whenever I think about the shoot (a very common symptom when I'm nerve-wracked).

I am super excited to use the new clapperboard app on my iPad. So there is at least one positive coming from this experience.

As for the rest of the week, I will be working every morning with one of my BFFs Manda and I have two more shoots. The first is for Mary's film on Friday and the second is for my own short narrative piece entitled "Roommate Wanted" on Saturday. Both will be smashing successes.

I feel my eyelids becoming leaden so this is it for now.

Goodnight loves. XOXO

A long time coming

Oh goodness, it has been forever and a day since I last updated. A whole lot has happened.

I'm working my way back into running. My last 5K was on December 2, 2012 and I hadn't been running until March 18. That's a massive amount of time away from running and I'm paying the price. I am back down to one continuous mile but I've devised a strategy to take me to my first 10K on June 6. *fingers crossed*

Spring break officially starts for me at 4:45 pm today. I'm beyond excited but I'm also nervous as hell. I have a total of 3 film shoots, I'm working, I need to catch up on my senior portfolio, and my room is currently in shambles. NOT GOOD. I know it will be fine but I'm a worrier.

I'm also starting to look at graduate programs, internships, and job listings. It's a difficult process but I'm a strong believer that what is meant to happen will. More on that later.

Restarting the blog is a goal of mine. I've set a goal of 3 postings a week. More will be a bonus for my adoring fans. ;-).

Until next time, I'll bid you adieu.
