MPT

I'm here! Successfully transfered over to the Academy of Art University.

I checked out my dorm building on Saturday with my sister, and we were absolutely blown away by the looks of the whole facility. Apparently, I received the biggest room on the floor, which was very unexpected. It's almost twice the size of any other dorm room on the floor. We checked out the kitchen, and got to talk to one of the cooks over there. The man was very friendly, and told us a lot about how the kitchen works. I was glad to hear that their business with the students in there is personal.

Moved in Tuesday, and got to meet my roommate, Justin. I guess I was expecting somewhat of an uncomfortable roommate experience, but I this was a nice surprise. He's a cool guy. Completely down to earth and chill. During these past couple of days, I think we got to know each other pretty well.

Got to meet a lot of other people from all over the world-- and I'm feeling pretty good with the people I've become close with already.


The motion pictures and television department orientation was pretty interesting. It's a real comfort to find out how serious this school is about teaching their majors. I really do feel like this was the place I was looking for, or was really brought to. What's gonna sound even cornier is that I'm pretty proud of where this university is on an academic level-- it's really been getting bigger lately, and I'm happy to know that I'm going to be someone a part of this growing experience.


Enough talk about this place-- I might be venting a lot about it later on, heh.




The filming for the project that I've been working on is done. Nick, Allen, and I shot the final scene of the film this past Monday. The performances that Nick and Allen gave were incredible. In fact, it was almost too frightening for me to watch. I'm really grateful for the time and energy that they've put into this project, and I hope to work with them again in the future.

I'm anxious to start editing the project, but I know I'm not gonna be finished with it anytime soon. Hopefully I'll have enough time to work on it throughout my first semester.
