And now for something completely different: productivity.
Admittedly, I've been severely slacking on looking for internships and/or a new job. Maybe "given up on it until later" is more apt, actually. But today I decided to stop being a lazy ass and log into what I've deemed my "professional" e-mail account where all of my internship mail was being sent. Lo and behold, among the billions of EntertainmentCareers.net listings I've yet to sort through were two e-mails from internships that I applied to forever and a day ago. Or probably July.
Long story short, I have an interview on Monday morning with a production company. And then tonight when I came home from work, I found another e-mail from an internship I applied to a few hours ago, asking if I could go in for an interview tomorrow (technically today, I guess) at 3 PM. I e-mailed them back apologizing for the lateness of the response and that I am available, so we'll see if anything comes out of that.
These will be my first interviews for something geared specifically toward the career I want. I'm trying really hard not to be terribly nervous (yeah, that's going to happen) or overly optimistic (don't want to get my hopes up). But I can't help but think that even if both of these interviews turn out to be major disappointments, at least it's a step in the right direction.
Funny that just last night, Achala, Bagel, and I were marveling at just how grown up we were becoming. Among our group of high school friends, one of has a baby and is going to get married, two are in stable relationships with guys who they suspect are The One, and most are moving towards decidedly tangible career goals. I’d begun to think that I was the aimless one who would be left behind, but maybe-just maybe-there’s hope for me yet. Fingers crossed, guys.
