Blue skies...

With a temperature of -8 degrees. Yes, I walked to class in -8 degrees this morning. My nostrils instantly seemed to freeze once I stepped out my door... it hurt and felt awkward. This cold is a bit ridiculous. I will admit, it's a bit pretty outside with everything white and the sun shining. But! I still hate it.

Which is why this next bit of news is rather exciting...
After e-mailing the director of a tv show I met at the symposium in the spring, I was waiting and waiting. He said to forward him the e-mail again if he hadn't responded in awhile. Last night I forwarded the message after sending it two weeks ago. I figured my e-mail was targeted as spam and just ended up in his junk mail. Or he was so flooded with e-mails that mine seemed insignificant and easy to just pass over.

Yet, when I checked my e-mail again last night, a little over a half hour later, he had responded. !!! He said that he was busy because he was shooting on location in Toronto. Ha, I would love that life. Anyway, he asks me all these questions about scriptwriting that were really specific. Questions I hadn't even really thought of. All of it to get to know me better to hopefully find me an internship in LA! Ahh. I'm really excited. It's something I've always wanted and has the possibility of actually coming true.

You only live once. I know what I want to do isn't the easiest industry to break into. But an internship could help me out a lot with that. I'd be fooling myself to say I wanted to do something else. I know myself, I don't. They just seem a little bit easier than this. Anyway, doing something like this is scary as much as exciting. It's kind of a good feeling to have. Why live your life always feeling complacent with what you have and what you're doing. You have to go after what you really want because it's not going to try it's hardest to find you, someone else that really wants it is going to go after it and get it. So this is me going after what I really want.. and hopefully getting it.
