life goes on

Thanks all for your prayers. Unfortunately, my best friend's brother did not make it, but we are all consoled that he is no longer suffering in this world. The family is doing well, and I've been spending time with them along with my family (my cousins were in town), hence the lack of posts.

As for the Wal-Mart shoot...one of the head PAs told the other interns that I was the best PA they've had all week! How wonderful. He said that he liked my hustle. I truly gave it my all on that shoot so that I could leave an indelible impression, and it worked. Anyway, I try to give my all on any shoot no matter what. He really didn't have to say all those nice things, it's not like they needed an assessment of all the interns, so the fact that he volunteered those compliments amazes me. I feel like my name is out there and with good connotations. The last thing anyone needs in this business is for people not to recommend you or have anything nice to say about you.

My internship is winding down, but good news...I've just sent out my resume to an animation studio that is looking for production assistants. A friend works there, and she recommended me (see what recommendations can do for you!?). If I get it, the work is full-time, but only until February. I'm okay with that. Gives me time to think about what I want to do in the future (other than travel some more) and put away some money. It's kind of exciting to live this way. I'd like to live closer to the studio if possible, but let's see what happens.
