Damn it been a long time since I wrote anything here. I need to work on my writing skills so here is it. My life update:
I left September 9th for a year on exchange with Northumbria University. I will be studying film production and will be getting equivalency for my second year at York (with the exception of one course). Really looking forward to that, I think it is going to be awesome. I will definitely post about it.
I finished my internship with Brown Entertainment for the summer. Brown Entertainment is a commercial production company. They have done other sorts of work, but it is commercials that really pay the bills. Working there was interesting to say the least. I worked 40 weeks in the office as general help and for several weeks as the full time receptionist. I found the work to be repetitive and not greatly engaging. During my stay, the previous receptionist, Brodie, left for the greener pastures of Associate Producer with UnplugedTV. Brodie was my trainer and I think that we developed a friendship if only because we worked side by side for two months. Ironically, I found myself in the last week of my internship training Brodie’s replacement. Got to love it when the unpaid intern is teaching the new employee. 
The hi-light of my stay at Brown was the generosity of the Executive Producer William. He loaned me Browns camera for the weekend and covered the production under the companies standard policy. I wonder if any other sub-$200 budget productions have had an insurance policy that covered them for up to 10 Million Dollars. I post about that experience is for another day I suppose.
Whoops, I forgot to post this…. So here it is, even if it is a bit late. I am also working on writing some personal essays of my experiences so far in England and Newcastle. Hopefully, I will be able to develop some good style.
