One Month!

It sounds cliche, but it really does just seem like yesterday I was starting film school. And now, there's one month until I graduate. It's insane!

So, I haven't updated in a long time, but last post, I was excited and looking forward to something cool. Well, that something cool happened. All of us writers got to go to LA in May to do pitch meetings and meet with alums and industry people. It was so great to learn from these amazing people and meet so many new friends. We even met with the screenwriter of the "Nightmare on Elm Street" remake, Eric Hesserier, and Alan Ball, FSU alum, and Oscar winning screenwriter of "American Beauty," and creator of "True Blood" and great advice-giver extrordinaire. We also got to meet one of the execs at Bad Hat Harry and a writer from LOST, Melinda Hsu Taylor. I freaked out. Only a bit.

And by a bit, I mean A TON! I thought I was gonna pee my pants.

Anyway, it was wonderful, and it just made me really excited to get out to LA and work. All of my closest friends from film school are moving out there, and so is Mike, and it's just going to be a great time with incredible opportunities.

Today, I workshopped my last piece of writing for film school! And it's all just clicking that it's pretty much over! Now, the only work I have yet to do is reading other material and giving my classmates notes.

It's all insane and incredibly sad and crazy, because I feel like I've been in film school forever, but it also feels great. I've learned so much about screenwriting, and I really feel prepared and excited to go off on my own into Hollywood! But then again, I know I'll never be alone in the industry with all my friends.

Awww. Cheesy, I know. But true.

So, in one month, I'll be off on my new journey. I'm looking for internships and applying for part-time jobs and internships right now. So, wish me luck!
