I'm Setting Some Goals for Myself for this Semester

Hey All,

Again, it's been too long since I've been back here and updating on a regular basis. I'd like to have a good reason, like I'm too busy co-producing a web show for the freshmen at my school, or preparing to move into a new apartment. But in all honesty, I've had plenty of time to go on the Internet and goof around of Facebook and Tumblr, so I have no excuse for not showing up here other than being lazy.

Well I want that to change. This year I'm going to set some goals and goddammit I plan on meeting them by New Years.

1. All A's in my classes this semester.
2. Produce the best 4 episodes of The Lowdown that Emerson can handle!
3. Production position on Good Morning Emerson.
4. 50-100 pages of "The Weaver Journals" completed.
5. SAVE MY F***ING MONEY
6. Make this (or something very similar):

I mean, I work in a costume shop and stock room, I should be able to figure out how to make one of these, right?

Because it will be a cold day in Hell when I pay $160 for a fleece jacket that probably doesn't even keep me warm. Screw that, I'll make it myself (with a little help from my friends and bosses).

(For those of you rich enough to dole out the cash for one of these: http://www.etsy.com/listing/107317627/water-tribe-fleece-avatar-the-last?ref=v1_other_1)









OK, so six things may not seem like much, but it's gonna be hard to do, I can already tell. Classes haven't even started yet and I'm already feeling overwhelmed with all that I still have to learn about producing (not to mention actually paying attention and retaining whatever's being said in my classes).

It's going to be tough, and I'll probably be missing out on some sleep most weeks (aka don't call me on the weekends, because I will be dead in my bed) because it's now about a 40 minute ride to school four days a week.
Awesome.

But the only way I can make things happen is if I set my bar and run for it.

That's all I wanted to say today.
Sorry I've been away for so long.

It is truly amazing...

The lengths I will go to not do work.

Like, I haven't updated this in FOREVER because I got a little too excited about The Legend of Korra and my new Tumblr so I just sort of...forgot I had a real blog.
Oh well, past is past.

Well, I don't want to go write this email or those thank you letters, so:
I'm listening to fun. "It Gets Better"
I'm watching "King of Queens" on TBS
My phone has been dormant since I left work
I'm reading a few things, including Jodi Picoult and Sam Van Leer's "Between the Lines", oh and my best friend's dad's book "The Fourth Trail." He's kind of new to this whole writing game, so I'm going through it and making comments as I read. I'm ignoring grammatical errors, though, or else I'll never finish the darn thing.
I'm wearing a t-shirt and dark-wash skinny jeans
Oh, and I changed the channel. "Victorious" is on Nickelodeon.

I should be making progress in my Weaver Journals manuscript, but because I'm a lazy fuck, that's not happening. Or technically, I should be writing an email to this guy's manager so we can get him on my show in a few weeks -and that will happen shortly. Or I really should be writing thank you letters to the people responsible for getting my scholarship for the 3rd year in a row...

God, why am I so lazy?

Thanks for reading,

one more pug gif:

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.

Thanks for reading,

Amy Liz
