...well, I haven't actually been anywhere unusual. But life has been so crazy these last few weeks. I have mid-terms this coming monday in addition to another film project that happened to fall on the same weekend. So the last week or so I have been working like crazy trying to get everything ready for that. So I probably won't be posting much for the next week at least. But just for a quick update:
My family came down this weekend and it was SO great to have them here. I have missed seeing them so much and was so glad that they could come down. They were able to meet everyone down here and got a glimpse of my life here at Biola. Went to Disneyland on Sunday...and it was gay day...so that was intersting to say the least. But we still had a wonderful time and many meaningful conversations :)
Yesterday I got offered my first internship!! Well...maybe. It depends on what they want and if I can actually figure out a way to make an internship work with school and my lack of car. haha...maybe i could walk. But anyways, it was a really cool story. I was studying in the library with Evangeline and this small film crew walks in and asks if I can walk in the foreground of their shot. So I do and mention that I was a film student. It turns out that they were filming for Lee Strobel (who i had failed to recognize....yay for me. Aaron would be proud...haha) Anyways, they said that they were from Revolution Studios and that they need student interns so I'm going to talk to my film professor tomorrow about how to respond and then go from there. But I was (and am) SO excited.
Finally, I made a short film today that was an advertisement for Ticonderoga pencils. Some guys in our class needed to make it for their English class so we checked out cameras and spit into three units. My unit went down into a parking garage and we filmed a scene where my roommate, Kaityln, and I were dressed as thugs and attacked this guy with a briefcase. He then is miraculously handed two stunningly beautiful Ticonderoga #2 pencils which he throws at us with some force and stops us as we fall dramatically to the ground. The thing I love about film is that it's always the most painful scenes that we get to shoot over and over and over and over. My elbows are still quite sore, but I got off easy since Dan was thrown into a wall on multiple occassions (by yours truly) and skinned his arm pretty bad and Kaitlyn got a huge scrape/bruise on her side. Ouch! The things we do for film. ;)
So that's been my life lately. The next post is probably going to be along the lines of PRAISE BE TO GOD!!! MIDTERMS ARE OVER!!!! Until then!

Good for you!! Way to get offered an internship (if they aren't that far away, walking isn't a bad option, I have to walk a good 2 miles or so every day to get to and from my job and lunch, and that's with public transit). Do well on those semi-finals.
That's awesome, Karyn! I'm definitely praying for you about the whole internship thing, and I'm not sure if your finals were this last Monday or this coming Monday, but either way I'm praying for you. =) I can't wait to see you next month!
