Um.... maybe that I'm EXCITED and NERVOUS and SCARED SHITLESS and a million other emotions that I feel I'm going to burst like an island hatch barely containing radioactive energy unless someone pushes a button every 108 minutes. It's very daunting to think that my life will change completely in the matter of a few weeks. From the time I graduate to when I start my "real life," everything will be different. My daily routine, the people I see, the way I think. At least I'm in a much better position now than I was a few months ago. So when people ask me, "what are you doing after graduation," I no longer just shrug my shoulders.
So I got the internship at Common Sense Media. It's no film studio job, but I find the organization fascinating. They focus mainly on media review and education for parents and students. It helps develop a literacy that I feel is so important for our media drenched youth. They release weekly videos containing film reviews and topic discussions. As someone who is staunchly against the overbearing control of the MPAA (to be discussed in a later post), I feel Common Sense Media offers an appropriate alternative. I will be a production intern, so I will assist in the production of their weekly videos, as well as the editing of said videos. That means, lots of hands on experience instead of being some lackey who gets coffee.
I also have a job opportunity currently pending. I applied to go back to PacSun, a company I've dedicated two years of my life to. PacSun has been good to me over the years, and I'm hoping that it will continue to be. I had my interview yesterday, and I got good and bad(ish) news. It seems like I will be hired back, which is a relief. However, I'm worried that I'll only be hired as a sales associate, which is technically a demotion from my former senior sales position. This "demotion" is completely understandable though, seeing as the position itself has changed since I last worked there. I just need to prove to my superiors once again that I am worth the position I applied for. However, I won't know for certain whether or not I will get my old job back, so that one is still up in the air. So please send me good thoughts!
Lastly, I am barely scrounging around to confirm my living situation. To make a long story really short, finding a place to live and people to live with is beyond difficult and extremely tiring. Moral of the story: don't rely on other people because they will disappoint you. How pleasant.
Oh, and this:
