I started this blog post last week, but I didn’t quite get around to finishing it since my life was turned upside down by getting a job! So please forgive the fact that some of the events come prior to my last post.
Okay so my new experiences for this (two weeks ago) week might not be exciting for everyone, but they were big steps for me. I have been looking for a roommate for the past few weeks, and my search was beginning to look slim. Finally on Tuesday, I had a breakthrough! I met my potential new roommate for coffee over in West Hollywood to see if we would be a good match. After some light conversation, we both laughed at the fact this felt the way online dating probably feels like. Thankfully she turned out to be super nice and normal! As an added bonus she has a puggle, which I’m very excited about because I am a huge dog lover. I finally felt like my apartment search could officially begin because I now was for sure looking for two bedrooms. On Thursday, I went to my first apartment showing all by myself. Sometimes I get nervous doing things by myself, but LA has definitely helped me to break out of my shell. For me both of these were big steps toward my new adventures in Los Angeles.
Now onto last week! Last week I was offered and accepted my first real job in the entertainment industry. It could not have come at a better time! After a crazy week, I am already getting into the groove at the office. I know I am at the right company, and this job is better than any others I have interviewed for! After almost a year as an intern, I always covered the desk (ie: answered the phones) during my company’s “Monday Meeting.” Since my job is more front of office, I figured I would still be covering the phones during this meeting. The producer of my company surprised me last week by inviting me to the Monday meetings. I have always wanted to sit in on these meetings because it is when a lot of important decision are made. Yesterday I experience my first five-hour meeting, and I loved every minute of it! I was able to contribute my opinion, and it wasn’t scoffed because I am new. From this part of my job, I will be able to get a firm base and further understanding of the industry and the developmental process. This knowledge will help me move up the totem pole to one day be an full-fledged assistant, then a developmental executive, then the vice president of development and production and finally a producer!
Life is good, and I can’t wait to update everyone on all my new weekly adventures! I promise I will try to make them more exciting new time!
