So I have 6 more days of my internship and I am not ready for it to end. Everyday I wake up excited to go! From the people to the daily lessons, I am having a wonderful summer. Today since we were on Stage and there wasn't to much for me to help out with, I asked questions. The answers I got would surprise you. I went to different departments and spoke with people I usually don't talk to. I found out a lot about the crew and I haven't even asked everyone on my list.
Some people were born into the "biz" and others had a passion that could not be deterred. Some have dreams of being directors while others would love to own their own restaurant. The one thing they all had in common was that they love the challenge of change. From being on set for the past eight weeks not one day has been the same. There is always something different happening. Everyday comes with challenges. It can be as small as who does a pair of socks belong to and as big as someone needing to be escorted off set.
Today I learned a very big lesson, one I sort of hoped I would never have to. Today something horrible happened. I feel that the details are to personal to share but the lesson is not. When something really bad happens one of the most important things to do is to let everyone know together. So everyone involved is on the same page. It may not always be easy but this is life and things happen.
My life is not going exactly as planned, it is going better. I have a Mom that loves me, an internship I love, and I go to NYU!! I have friends that care about me and I am going abroad in 10 days. Today I remembered to never take anything for granted. If I want to get to know someone I am not going to wait. I am going to live life!
I will write soon,
Alana
