Good News!
I am no longer internshipless. I will be starting my placement at Outline Productions on Wednesday. The place is really chill and it looks like I will be jumping in at just the right time. They want me to tune and tweak my Avid skills and help out on some pretty big projects for the BBC and ITV. The place is small, but busy and everyone is pretty much under 30. I can wear basically whatever I want, so it's jeans all the way. The place seems to be a little like Cramer, which is really good because I loved it there. I'm really excited to get things going, but I'm not too excited about long days with no pay :( It'll be worth it in the end though. You can checkout Outline's website
In other happy news, my mom informed me that I made a lot of money for a college student this past year and that I am getting a pretty penny back. I am hoping to take the money and use it for my Italy-Paris excursion after the program.
So Morocco....
Casablanca was ghetto and I wouldn't recommend going there. Marrakesh on the other hand was absolutely gorgeous. The city is framed by the Atlas Mountains and it is really a sight to see. Our hotel was really nice and we enjoyed walking all around the city. It's a great blend of old and new culture mixed together. I would have taken more pictures, but there are just things that you really shouldn't take pictures of in respect of the countries cultural background. The weather was great, I was in flops and I even got a little burn on my face and chest, which is turning into a nice shade of brown. I like having a little color, it makes my hair look blonder. I had the best orange juice in Marrakesh because they literally go and pick the oranges off the tree and squeeze them into a cup. I bought some really cool things (for myself and others) and I wrote some sweet postcards and then realized that I wrote over the space to put the stamps so I have to send them off in envelopes from London. I'm really glad that I made the trek to Morocco, because now I've been to 3 continents, a real world traveler. Now I've just got to get a few more European countries under my belt.
Cheers!
