I said I'd keep you all up to date.
So I've been feeling good about this all week.. there have been excellent excellent excellent correspondences to and fro since the interview, and based on the things I heard during it, and the things said to me after it.. I was pretty sure I was in like Flynn.
here's the message I got today:
"Hey Nigel. I opted not to take any interns right now. But I did want to bring you on. You will prob hear back from me about interning in the future. Mostlikely the near future. I didn't want to leave you up in the air about it."
So I was partially right. I got in, more or less. But they don't want anybody right now. That really sucks because now would be the best time to get in. They're in the middle of basically rebuilding their studio from the ground up at this new facility they just got 8 months ago... and it would be incredibly advantageous to see that all happen. Obscene learning opportunities there, joo know? Additionally, it's extra confusing because two days ago I got a message saying that she was working on schedules for the interns. :/
*sigh* I'm fairly heartbroken. Glad that I did a good job... but fuck-sad that I'm not starting there next week. I want to be in a studio. I really do feel like that's my life's calling. And in the meantime, I know this chick likes me and wants my eager ass to work for her... but I still can't help but expect to be forgotten between now and when-the-hell-ever they're ready to have an intern or two. It doesn't help that I know that THIS studio, in particular, would be easily my BEST opportunity... Considering that they do EVERYTHING in the biz... and there would be money-making opportunity and BUCKETS of room to grow and advance my career there despite the fact that I'd be starting as an unpaid intern.
Tryin' not to let it get to me but... I'm a bit bummed, ppl.
