The first few days of the week started at usual... the normal tasks at Authentic (casting realtors and buyers, research various topics, brief video editing, and various paperwork) occurred Monday and Tuesdays.
Classes have been okay; bottom line is that they are classes, so eh! The Senior Seminar (one about youth culture in media) is kind of interesting: learning from various 1950s and 1960s films discussing the "teenager," how the term, and the actual teens were portrayed and lived in that time era. The Electronic Media Criticism (EMC) class is much more my style: watching television shows about various topics and simply analyzing the content and what the underlying messages are for each program.
Now, the BIG NEWS.... I broke into the acting scene, my first on-air gig was for CONAN. Not really, but I did make it on-air for CONAN. For one of the segments, the producers needed supporters for Andy (it'll make sense in the video) and I was selected.
Labor Day Weekend was fun (see the last post), but it went by quick and I got quickly back into work and class on Tuesday.
Luckily, Tuesday was a "short" day with only one class and a half day at Authentic Entertainment. During the short day, I
continued researching and finding realtors interested in becoming new
cast for the show I intern for (My First Home); at the end of the day (6pm), there was a show season premiere party for one of our productions (Flipping Out) -- which was so awesome!
The following few days must have went by really slow because I cannot remember what I did... Although Conan is so much fun and things are constantly changing, the general intern tasks become slightly repetitive and boring. As time goes by and we continue to settle into our roles, I hope I will be able to take on more challenging + interesting tasks.
Today (Friday), I was able to do some work with the post department at Authentic. I got to help with the editing of some new pilots and also had the task of reorganizing show file.
Long weekends are the best... time to sit back, relax, and not worry about internships or classes!! As Friday ended (2 hours early actually- my internship let me leave early!), I made my way back to the apartment and prepared for the long weekend-- which didn't really mean much!
Saturday, I went with some of IC kids to one of the Golf 'N Stuff locations (the same place where the Karate Kid was filmed at) and we had a blast -- unlimited bumper cars, go kart-ing, bumper boats, and mini golfing!! Saturday night was quite an adventure, we went out to Hollywood and it turns out the LA police didn't want us to... 'cause our car got towed and we had to walk 3 miles to go pick it up!
Sunday came quick and we went to Dockweiler State Beach, for the beach (obviously) and an awesome bonfire/grill. The only problem was, we needed a small charcoal grill and it took us OVER AN HOUR to find one; every hardware/house-ware/outdoors store that we checked did not have any... until we saw a Home Depot and they had one. After that, we got to the beach and enjoyed the beautiful beach weather.
Todayyyyy is homework day :( so yea, I should go back and do homework!
It was a beautiful day at Dockweiler
