Finally

    It's funny how your mood can change so much. This weekend was a good one. It made me feel really good. I don't think I've felt really good in quite some time. Saturday and Sunday were all about expression for me, for the most part anyway.

    Saturday night, Michael (my brother) and I talked about him going away to college next year. He's really into films and film making. He's looking at one school in Florida, FullSail University. There are a bunch of other colleges that he's looking into as well. I told him that I wish I was more like him, in the sense that he actually knows what he wants to do. He told me I should go into film too, that there are so many different avenues. I've really enjoyed all these communication classes that I've been taking, so what could I do with that in film, right? Well, I could be a casting director. Haha. I mean, I've been helping Michael out with the movie so far. So who knows? It's funny though, Michael wants to get into the film industry, and Brandon (my boyfriend) wants to become a writer, more along the lines of a script writer. So, it kind of makes sense to put me into that industry, to make a stronger bond, right? Well, I don't know. Maybe. We'll see. It's nice to day dream about Michael, Brandon, and myself all going down to Florida to Fullsail and become thrown into that industry, but it seems impossible, at least for me...I think. Then again, maybe I just have to do some more research into. Anyone have any suggestions for a communication major?

    Sunday was really, really fun, minus my contact dilemma. I picked up Brandon Sunday afternoon and went back to my house to film. Mike, Steve, and Lauren were already there when Brandon and I got back. Sure, there were some annoyances of the day, like when Lauren spilled candlewax on her and her ditziness, but whatever. Steve and I enjoyed laughing at her. Smiley

While Michael was filming Brandon, Mike, and Lauren outside, Steve and I stayed inside talking. It was really nice to vent to him. We have a lot more in common than I thought, which is nice. It's nice to have someone see things from your point of view. He even agreed with me that Lauren is too flirty. That made my day. He also forwarned me that Lauren wanted to ride with Brandon when we went sleigh riding. PSH.

After they were done filming in the snow we all went outside and went sleigh riding. I'm pretty sure I made it clear in front of Lauren that Brandon would only go with me. I mean, you have to sit real close when you go on a sled. GRRR. Haha, oh well. So, I haven't gone sleigh riding since I was MAYBE 14? Almost 6 years. It felt exhilarating! I have to admit, I'm pretty sore from hurling myself of the tube before I hit the tree. At least I was lucky enough to get off before hitting the tree. Poor Steve, he went completely UNDER the tree! It was theeeee funniest thing of the day, most definitely. I fell on the ground laughing so hard! Oh, and my eskimoness was pretty funny too. But that day, it was definitely fun. Smiley

    After realizing how out of shape I am, I've decided to go back to weight watchers, and try my best to lose the weight I gained back over winter. I also convinced my mom to go with me, which will be a nice bonding experience. I'm really looking forward to having some motivation to get healthy again. The meeting is tonight, hopefully some of the ladies I met before will still be there.

    I think I am officially out of my funk. At least, I hope so anyway. I've been in a funk for over a month. I'm finally feeling productive and happy. It feels really good. I just hope it lasts for a while, along with everyone else around me I'm sure...haha.

    Well, I hope everyone else out there is doing well....

    That's it for now.

Re: Finally

I think Casting Director would be a good job within that side of the entertainment Industry. You get to deal with people and all that good stuff and you're a very important part of the whole creation of the movie. Of course, there are also different types of casting directors. Would you want to do principle casting or backround casting? There really are so many jobs out there! Kind of exciting, isn't it? =) In addition to Casting Director, maybe you could be a talent agent.

If I were you, I would look into the different jobs, like you said. Just do some research on what you would possibly want to do, then look at the majors that could help you gain more experience in those fields.
