I'm so excited for this Saturday! We are shooting our short film "Werewolves are American". This is my first "real" short film I've been apart of. I'm producing it and it's been a pain in the butt, but I'm really pumped to see it get made. It's like seeing your child perform at a recital...or something like that. We finished casting all the actors yesterday and we're going through the final call sheet tonight with the crew. I'll definitely try to post the finished product on here when we're done with post-production and editing.
So yesterday I got to see Halle Berry! She is even more gorgeous in person. I was walking backstage and looked up and it was her! I think I was just smiling really hard and she smiled back. It totally made my day.
I'm going to be in Austin in less than a week! How crazy is that?!
Oh and the course schedule came out for the fall semester! It feels so weird to think of regular classes. I know I need to take MKT 460 and LEB 323. I'll probably throw in a MKT elective in that mix. I also need to sign up at ACC for my last history class.
Meet my fellow intern friends!
P.S. Shout out to Taeyoung! haha

Another Spring Break completed
I'm sad to hear that UT lost to Duke yesterday. I missed the game because I actually went to see Korea vs. Venezuela for the World Baseball Classic semifinals. Korea won so we're in the finals!
During the week, my friend and I went to see the red carpet premiere for the movie "Adventureland". I got to read the script at work so I'm really excited to watch it!
I'm going to be going to Austin in less than 2 weeks! I'm so excited to see everyone again! Oh and I've decided to eat at Rudy's, Madam Mam's, and Austin Java so far. Haha! There goes my diet...
Oh and also I got that marketing internship in the summer set up in L.A.! I'll be promoting movies that will be coming out! It should be a really fun internship so I'm pumped! I'll also be trying to get a second internship just for kicks.

Spring Break! Sort of...
How is everyone's spring break going along? I'm still working two days this week but it's still nice to have some days off! All I want to do is go to coffee shops and read some books. I'm kind of glad I'm not vacationing or doing anything crazy. It's relaxing to just vegetate and not think about anything for just a little bit until the work week starts again.
Our movie for the directing class is gaining legs! I think we just need to cast one more kid to get the full cast and crew settled. I locked down our locations so we just need to make our props and costumes next week! Hopefully this movie will be a lot of fun because right now it's a pain!
Last week, one of my internship companies hosted an "Intern Night". Our Executive Producer and the VPs bought us dinner and had a Q&A session. It was definitely a great time to pick the brains of these successful producers in the film industry. I got a lot of wisdom out of it and more motivation in the direction I want to go. I think my goal is going to be line producing so we'll see where that goes!
Alrighty...well I'm watching the first season of Dawson's Creek right now. It's hilarious because this show was on 10 years ago and their hair/clothes are so different from shows like Gossip Girl.
Oh and have you listened to Kelly Clarkson's new album? UH-MAZ-ING

Oops!
Sorry for the lack of updates this past week. It's been getting a bit hectic around here!
So last weekend I went to Palm Springs with my family to spend some good quality time together. My parents went golfing while my sister and I just relaxed and got some Swedish massages! It felt so amazing on my aching muscles! Palm Springs is beautiful as well. It reminds me of Hawaii but without the ocean. 
I had my midterm for the music class this past Monday. We had to listen to 18 songs and write about the lyrics, musical production, artist's vision, etc. It was a really cool test, especially since there's no right or wrong answer!
My midterm for the creative/development class is next Monday. This one is going to be a bit harder I believe. I need to read half of the book this weekend and prepare for the worst!
Directing class has been fun but time consuming! I'm a producer for one of the short films we're making, Werewolves are American. It's been great getting an idea of how a movie works while working with the director and the rest of the crew. Being a producer is bit stressful though. I've been trying to coordinate the location shooting, crew information, and other random tasks. I'm excited to see the final product though!
I had an interview last week with a major studio for a marketing position and I think it went really well! I need to keep applying for more summer internships. My resume needs a face lift though.
Watchmen came out today but I'm hearing bad reviews so I'll probably just stay home tonight and try to catch up on reading and resume surgery.
