Internship to Full Time Job

Sorry people for not writing a new blog post recently! I was busy hanging out with my cousin Kara Fischer last weekend in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. It was great meeting her boyfriend John and his family. They were kind enough to let me stay at their house for the weekend so I could spend time with Kara. We went hiking along the ocean on Saturday, and I was able to go to my first Surf Shop ever on Sunday. Of course, as soon as I walked in I wanted everything. I walked out with some new Toms shoes, a Billabong shirt and hoodie.

I recently moved into Alyssa's apartment on the Burbank/Glendale line. While she is filming in Alaska she agreed to let me stay in her 1 bedroom apartment while she is gone. It's fantastic! I love The Valley area. It is much more laid back with more of a small town feel. Also, the view driving home is pretty amazing. There are mountains on one side and hills on the other. I plan on going hiking on both sides while I am staying here. This road is close to mine, and sometimes I drive down it just to take in the incredible view of the palm trees and mountains in the background.

Alyssa's apartment is so cute. She is a cinematographer and has a very cute aesthetic. I love how she decorated such a small space and made it incredibly home-y.
The commute to the Bunim/Murray office is about the same from when I was staying in Westwood.  It actually  easier getting to work by taking the I-405. Now, I take the 134, the 170 and then drive down a road for 5 miles to get to work so I can bypass the insanely busy I-101.  LA  Traffic! (...yay) Actually, I have been very lucky with my commutes because I am always going the opposite direction than the rush hour traffic, so I can't complain.

My internship is done Monday, August 22. My mentor Mark has talked to me about hiring me after my internship is over. (Awesome, yes). As of now, I haven't told many people because I do not know what my position will be or when I will start. I had a meeting with Lisa from HR who emphasized how things work very last minute. People move around, get promoted and they call people to fill in their position. I'm currently talking to a Post Supervisor I've worked with already about being a Post (PA) Production Assistant for a show, if it is in the budget. We'll see. So, I'll jump up and down once I find out my start date and position. Don't worry...I'll keep you updated.

In the meantime, my "Things To Do" list is very long and filled with life changing events, like finding my OWN apartment here in Los Angeles. I will begin looking by using a website MANY people have told me to use called Westsiderentals.com. You have to pay to use the website, which means it has the most postings and reliable sources. Many people that live in Los Angeles have told me they found all of their apartments by this website. Hope it works for me too!
