AH One More Day!

Tomorrow is the last official day of UTLA! To celebrate, the program is buying us dinner in Malibu! Too bad I still need to finish my paper tonight!

Today at work, it was our 1000th episode! That's quite a lot in the industry. We got to have catered breakfast and catered lunch. I definitely feel a few pounds heavier. I also witnessed Heidi Klum and Portia De Rossi eating carbs! Hahaha!

Here's a pic with some of the other interns celebrating with our catered meals!


Well I need to move out of our apartments by next Wednesday so I should probably start packing this weekend. I also need to go hiking to the Hollywood sign since it's like a mile away from where we live. I'm sad this is coming to an end so soon. I am staying in L.A. for the summer so hopefully I'll still meet up with a lot of the people in the program.

Here's a pic of our program at Dockweiler Beach last Sunday:

Last week of UTLA

This is our last week of classes! I need to start preparing for my finals. In Creative Development class, we have to write a full length treatment on our movies that we've adapted from our previous assignment. It's a little bit crazy how I made a full length movie from a workbook! For our music class, we have to pitch a musical act to our teacher and why he should sign them. I'm going to be playing a song with my friend and pitch ourselves! We have yet to rehearse so that will be interesting. I also need to put together my final packet for the internship class. I just got my evaluations from my supervisors and I need to tidy my journals.

Anyways, I got my summer internship approved by McCombs! Hooray! Looks like I'm good to go for that. I'm planning on starting May 18th, so I won't have a lot of down time after this program is over.

Tomorrow is one of our last UTLA events. We're going to be grilling bbq at the beach and have a bonfire! I'm sure I'll have a lot of pictures from that later! Alright, well time to study so I can play tomorrow!

P.S. Demi Lovato was recently on the show...I think she's the most talented Disney star right now:

I love having senior status!

This is the first semester where I got all my classes on the first try! Registration only took me 3 minutes and it was amazing. It was a good thing too b/c I had to leave for work right after. Here's my schedule:



I also added Golf on TTH 9-10:30! I'm so excited to get back into the groove of things next year!

So this past Sunday, our program bought us tickets to Disneyland! We went there from 9 AM - 8 PM. I truly felt like a kid again and it was nice to escape into that mentality!





The program is coming to a close and I need to start working on my final exams! I'm so excited for this week's Directing class though. All of the groups will be presenting their first cut of the short films we've been working on. It'll be awesome to get to watch what everyone has been working on!

3 Weeks Left

I can't believe this program is almost over! I think everyone is trying to squeeze as much fun out of these few weeks left. This Friday, we might go to the beach and have a bonfire! Then on Sunday the whole program is going to Disneyland for free!

For our Creative class yesterday, we had to make movie pitches to our teacher. I adapted my movie from a workbook called The Artist's Way. It was challenging to create an entire movie based off a workbook but I pulled it off! Maybe I'll actually write an entire screenplay for it this summer.

Tonight is our final Pursuing an Acting Career class! The guest speakers so far have been fun so I'm sure tonight will be no exception.

Happy Easter Weekend!

Yay! Our offices just told us it's a half day today! I'm planning on going over to my sister's place tonight and hang with her. It's a bit chilly in L.A. so maybe we'll just catch a movie. Speaking of movies, I saw Adventureland last weekend and I really enjoyed it! It was the first movie I saw where I read the script before. It was fun to see how the actors played out the scenes and how the director interpreted the shots. I definitely thought Kristen Stewart had a great performance and it's making me excited for her role in New Moon.

This weekend, we are having our wrap party for Werewolves Are American. There's nothing better than celebrating with a game of kickball and a day in the park! The rough cut of the film is finished and I'm dying to see it.

Hope everyone has a good Easter weekend! I'm kind of tempted to buy myself a huge chocolate bunny on Sunday. :)

P.S. This song is addicting:

It's a Wrap!

We finished filming all our scenes for Werewolves Are American last night! It was a crazy race to the end as we were running against the clock, but we got our last scene barely in! I'm excited to see it all unravel in post-production. Our final cut of the film is due April 29th, which is our last class day!

Back in Austin!

Yeehaw! It's good to be back in Austin, Y'ALL!

I had my yummy first meal at Madam Mam's. Then I walked to the business school and saw like 10 of my friends along the way. It's awesome to be able to see everyone again. It's also weird to be on campus but not having anything to study. I think I'm going to spend tonight at DT and go to Mt. Bonnell, the Capitol, and Rudy's tomorrow!

I feel bad for not being in L.A. this Saturday though. Our film is shooting all day and I can't help them out. But I will be there for the final shoot next Monday with our big werewolf ending.

Some stills from our first day of shooting:




Oh and when I visited Melissa at the Career Services office, I saw a sign about getting free cupcakes for surveys!! I'm so JEALOUS that they're not doing it this week. So everyone make sure to participate when it happens!
