Yesterday I started my first day at my internship. It was filled with hilarious events, and it was a lot of fun. It looks like I will be there around 6-7 hours a day for 3 days a week. I enjoy being in the city often, it is an amazing place, as I'm sure everyone already knows lol. I'd love to live there someday, not forever, but at least a couple of years or even a year, I don't know.
So usually the first hour to an hour and a half is cleaning and bull shit. That's cool, it's an internship. But it really isn't like being a "bagel bitch." The rest of the time, if there is a client, I just make sure they and the engineer are comfortable, and have everything they need as far as drinks, or food, etc... For the most part, I just get to watch these pro engineers do the damn thing. It's incredible. Yesterday I sat in a mixing session for patent pending, and it was incredible watching their engineer Joe, mixing in pro tools HD on this $70k board.
Another amazing part of this internship, is that within a month or even less, once they see that I am not going to break their shit lol, and get to know me. I am allowed to record my own music, and friends music for free, for my internship! How fuckin sick is that!!! A fuckin major label studio at my finger tips for my enjoyment. God is amazing!
After 3 months I get evaluated, and if they see me fit and ready, I move up to assistant engineer status, which means if there is a session, I get paid to assist. It might not be much, and it will probably be long hard hours, but I will be happy. And hopefully within a year I can move up to a staff engineer, and head my own clients. THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!

Bridgette is constantly amazing me, she gives me confidence, she helps my terrible self-esteem all the time, and she is so positive. I don't think I would have had the guts to get this internship without her pushing me, and without her support. Great things are in store for our future. And I know God brought us together. And I love that I don't have to say that, cause she says it first. I enjoy having a lot of similarities with someone I am dating, I've told her many times already, I feel like we are becoming amazing friends as well; and that is an incredible feeling. I haven't had that with anyone. Someone I could just chill with, not just have the lovey dovey stuff. I thank God all the time for her.
