Week 2

So Monday has begun, and I am sitting at work waiting for my next set of instructions. That is basically what I do -- sit here until someone needs me to run an errand. I have a lot of down time, but I don't really mind getting paid to blog and write emails. It's such a relief getting up every morning and coming to the office, knowing that I won't have to be online for the next 6 hours searching for media jobs to apply for.

I'm not sure how long they will need me for, as a lot of people that work here are freelancers, working when a new show or season rolls around. Lucky for me, I was chatting with another Elon Alum over the weekend who has done really well for himself out here. He is from Jordan, and at 26 he has already produced an award winning film that did wonderfully at the Sundance Film Festival. He is getting ready to make another film, but at the moment he is doing documentary photography for a middle eastern hip hop movement, as well as serving as the King of Jordan's personal photographer. Not bad. Anyway, we talked for quite a while and he told me to call him when this job is up. He said that he has met so many people out here that he is confident he can help me find something in whatever area I'm interested in. That networking stuff sure comes in handy!
