They say 'Live in the Now'...

Well, quite frankly, the "now" is not all that exciting. Yes, I love my job and my friends, and school is going well. I'm really doing very well right now, and I'm proud of myself for coming this far in just 6 months. That being said, I just have all these exciting plans ahead of me. I like to think about how Arizona is going to be, and even things beyond that. I have started to think about things that will be great experiences for ME and that I really want to do. I'm not going to let outside influence guide me anymore. Going to Arizona is really what I need to do to achieve my goals.

I was watching the first season of Glee the other day, and they (mostly Rachel) were talking about making your dreams a reality and really pursuing your passion. That got me thinking... what are my goals? I haven't exactly figured out what I want to do in the film industry, but it is my biggest dream to be a part of an Oscar-winning movie someday. I don't really know how I will be involved, nor do I really care. Doing that would mean that I was really contributing to the film world. Thinking about it just makes me so excited. So, now that I have really thought about my goal, I am so excited to get out to AZ and get going. I've been thinking about what classes I want to take and what things I'm going to get involved in. Also, I'm thinking that next summer I'm going to do a Film in Rome study abroad program through ASU. It seems like a great opportunity and I'm really excited just thinking about it. Then after that, during the summers, I'm going to work on getting internships. I am very motivated right now to really put in the work to make this happen. The film industry is really hard to break in to, but I am more than willing to do what it takes.

So shoot me, I can't stop thinking about the future. Right now I just feel like I'm coasting-- not really being challenged enough, so I'm thinking of things that are bigger and better, and I can't wait until I get there.

I don't know exactly what made me want to do this post, but I just felt like it.
