My Last Day

So, this is it...

After today, I no longer have to battle traffic for two hours and I've successfully completed another job on my resume with a recommondation. Overall, how would I rate this experience? I'll go with a solid 7. 10 being if I had landed a job from my internship and absolutely loved it. It's helped me decide that this is what I want to do, and I'm comfortable doing it. After work, I leave feeling slightly uppity knowing I did something other than sit around all day. I wish I had gotten to know my superiors a little better, but when I compare my position to that of the creative interns I realize I have it pretty good. They just sit around all day reading. At least I get to walk around while finding binders to stuff papers in.

Also, I like the idea of working in physical production. It's an all encompassing place where you follow the movie from production to post, helping along the way whether it be finding locations to shoot or delievery of the film to the distributor. And you are not stuck on one project, you get to jump around. Starting this internship I thought I wanted to be in post, but now I realize I'd rather be here. Producing something through the whole process. Why decide on one aspect when you can do both?

Have I really not posted for so long?

Okay, haven't been too good on keeping this updated recently...like for a week and a half.

But it's because I've been busy. Even though my time here is finally winding down (only one more day left) my days have been more action packed. I took on the task of organizing all of the files left on my desk since the company switched buildings, which is no easy feat. But my organizational skills have proven themselves fruitful as I've cut the pile in half.

I think it's one of the first times my boredom has transferred into productivity. Yay!

But I did throw up at work on Tuesday. And that was not fun. But embarassing. And sometimes embarissing is funny, but never fun.

Now I need to write my own recommendation. And try and diminish one more movie's staggering paper trail.
