Eastern Standards
Even though I have been in California for almost a week I am still on Maryland time. I have been going to sleep at 11pm LA time and waking up at 7:30am LA time. Maybe I'm not on Maryland time but I've just always been on California time.
During my semester at LAFSC I was by far the healthiest I've ever been. I exercised very regularly, slept a lot, and ate well. I felt awesome all the time. I currently do alright in all of those areas but I'll always look back at that semester as the pinnacle of my health, unless I get my act together and do better.
I have been pretty busy these couple days. Today we had another orientation sessions
Grammar!
in the morning then a 'get to know the equipment' session after lunch.
In that equipment session there was a thing called a Chymara or however you spell the mythical beat but for some reason the film tool is pronounced like shimmer-a. It was pissing me off the whole time.
That reminds me of in Mr. Stauffer's science class in 7th or 8th grade he taught us the word 'inference' and I thought he was mispronouncing the word 'interference' for so long.
Sometimes we called Mr. Satuffer 'Mr. Stauffer's Lasagna' or 'Mr. Staufflapogas' becuase middle schoolers are idiots.
Speaking of middle schoolers being idiots, only idiots would wear wide legged jeans. It baffles me that grown adults make products for middle school aged idiots, and writers write movies for them. Why are we catering to the lowest common denominator?
Tomorrow morning: internship session, tomorrow afternoon: Hollywood Production Workshop. Finally on Wednesday I'll have the afternoon off and I may go to see the writer's strike at one of the studios. I am excited to get my internship. I'll let you know which one I get soon I hope. This morning we turned in our scripts and directing reels. I feel like I have a pretty strong chance at maybe being one of the directors.
I wonder where this sudden burst of self confidence and high self esteem came from. Maybe I sized up my competition, or maybe I was just that confident in my reel, which was ridiculous.
Then they picked me as one of the finalists to be interviewed for a director's spot and I did well in the interview. Wow. And then my movie turned out well. I can't believe any of that.
But maybe I just have recently had my self esteem lowered by becoming a tiny fish in an enormous ocean when before, in college, I was like a medium sized fish in a medium sized pond.
That said, I hope it is a possibility that we can direct our own scripts.
That would have been cool, I still want to make the script I wrote for that.
I have had the experience twice recently that when I try to be really cheap and save money I end up buying something that sucks and doesn't work the way I intended and therefor costs me anguish, time, and probably more money than if I had just invested a little bit more in something better. I hope that was a real sentence.
This ends up happening to me a lot.
The Ten comes out tomorrow. Get familiar.
Meh. I still really like the Adam Brody part.
One of my roommates has an awesome DVD collection so I am going to watch a movie until I promptly fall asleep at 11pm.
And by awesome I mean satisfactory and pretty basic.
"Go fly a kite, Gretchen! Go fly a kite."
?
I'm glad I stopped doing quotes and all that BS like anyone cared what I was watching aka like my parents cared what I was watching since they were and probably still are the ones who read my blog the most if they even still do.

Segues about segways is funny! "So I was riding a segway the other day, speaking of Segways, have you ever noticed how many gyroscopes those things have? I mean, could there be anymore gyroscopes on that thing?"
Lol.
