Happy 2013

Hello All,

So I've been thinking about what to do for my New Year's resolutions and about what's coming up in 2013.
I've got:

• Speechless to make into the best debate/learning show the Emerson Channel has ever seen -ever!
• My internship with Candlewick Press to impress people at
• My four classes to beast
• The 32nd Annual EVVY Awards Script to build, supervise and make amazing
• Figuring out how to be a part of Orientation Series next summer
• and....figuring out what i'll be doing for the rest of the year

I've got a lot to do in the next five months, and I think I'm going to be as busy as ever, haha.

So for my resolution, I don't think I could really boil it down into one kinda smallish thing to say to people unless it's something like "my resolution is to make this year the best that i can possibly make it."

I guess that's good enough, right?

Work is Paying Off: Music

Hey All,

So today was the shooting of the first episode of the show my TV partner, Tara, and I have been working on for too long now (like 4 months -way longer than 5 episodes should take).

But yeah, we had singer-songwriter Caitlin Timmins on the show this morning, and she's amazing, everyone should check her out on Youtube and iTunes. It was incredible seeing everything we've been working for so long for come together into this beautiful video, so everyone should check it out:
Fast Forward Rewind Music, episode 1

Tuesday's show is going to be great, too, because we have two members from Me vs Gravity on the show, lead singer Zach Nelson and drummer Ben Meyers. They are amazing, they've been on Good Morning Emerson before, but we love them so much that we couldn't resist having them on again for Fast Forward Rewind. Check out their songs here and here.

Here's the link to the episode!

On Wednesday we had pop-rock singer Melanie Lynx in the studios to perform for the Fast Forward Rewind Music Series, and she sang her original songs "First Love" and "Impossible to Leave." She sang them acoustically with her guitarist Anthony playing, and we loved having her in today.

She was so sweet and excited to sing, and the whole studio crew has been singing her songs all day -they're that catchy!
Take a look!

That's it for now, I'll keep updating as the week goes on.

Absence...

Hello All,

Sorry I've been a little absent lately, but you see...I made a tumblr. 

It's mostly about what I love best about Disney with some splashes of whatever I'm currently obsessing over at the moment, like Legend of Korra, Smash, and stuff like that.

Also, the semester is almost over, so there's been a lot of homework and a lot of projects, finals to get ready for, and my shows are closing up, not to mention the literally CONSTANT search for an internship that won't completely waste my time this summer.

Another thing consuming my brain-space is the thought of what I'll be doing next semester in terms of working at school with the Emerson Channel. 

My friend Tara and I have pitched a show and we don't know if it's getting picked up or not and it's been like two weeks since we've heard anything, but we keep hearing rumors that we're not sure we can trust but how freaking AWESOME would it be to produce our own show?!?

Also, even though I've been on the show since forever, I always get nervous at the end of a semester about my status on Good Morning Emerson. I love this show and would literally sell my soul to the devil to keep working on it, and I always pray that the new producers won't be like "well, we should give someone ELSE a chance to work on this show," so there's that stress. I eventually want to senior produce the show with Tara, but right now I'm still figuring out what that might entail, so I'm working on just taking on more responsibilities and learning more about all of the different positions and stuff.

Which brings me to... figuring out what I want to do for OTHER shows next year.

I am 1000% positive that I never ever EVER want to segment produce again, because it is the most annoying job in the world and I have so much respect for people who do it over and over again.

I really want to get into technical directing, which can be super difficult because you work with this:

SO

MANY

BUTTONS!!!

I know a lot of people really respect a good TD, so I'd like to be one of those. Or a good director, but idk if I have the attention-span for that kind of work. 

So yes, I hope to be getting back to blogging very quickly, now that things are winding down.
