Woo Hoo Hoo!!

*Jumping up and down – Tigger style*
I got my grades for the Ad film. All Ds! Oh, for those of you with different grading systems… D = Distinction. Yay me! :)
Our teacher told Paro and me that all the judges gave us Ds throughout! That means, for concept, creation, presentation, and everything else! And ‘all’ judges? That was a total of 6 people! Hehehehehehe
And I respect at least 3 of those people’s opinions. So, as you can imagine, I’m pretty happy.

Still no word back from WorldSpace though. So today I called Hari, one of the guys who first got in touch with me. He said things have been crazy at work, and he’ll talk to the other guys tomorrow and get back to me. I told him I really need to know, coz if they (or I) am not interested, I need to start looking for another job. We have to have internships by April. And I’d like to get a jump-start.

That’s about all that’s going on for now. No college, although we are supposed to have class this Friday. To go over our plans for the fiction film we still have to create. Paro and I both have ideas. Which I think are good. ;)
But Sam hasn’t even been showing up for class. So god alone knows what’s been going on with him. Kinda hope he doesn’t show. Things always get mucked up when we try to work together. Anyway, by Friday I have to write out the script for my story idea. Guess I should do that tomorrow. Not like I have anything better to do with my time anyways…

All but Dead

Ain’t it?
That’s mainly coz my internet connection has been pretty much… well, crap. But also, I’ve been kinda busy. Not really too busy to write. But you know how it is.
So Ra, I did not need that poke. Thank you very much *grumbles under breath, while rubbing arm*
Sooo… what have I been busy with? Well, firstly, made an Ad film. Which went well. Just waiting for my grades now. College is just as bugging as ever. Finals in June and we haven’t covered most of the portions. Luckily, they all seem to be a repeat of what we’ve been doing for the last two (and a half) years. So hopefully, no failing or anything. Even if we never do finish what we’re meant to.
This week, the only time I went in to college was on Holi. Our stupid co-coordinator told us we had class. But when we reached their, it was to find, what can only be described as a ‘mob’ of idiotic characters – none of whom we knew – attempting to cover EVERYONE in colour.
I hate Holi. The tradition is dumb – but that’s just my opinion. Somehow I’ve never really thought it was terribly jolly to be chucking even the representation of someone’s blood on all your closest friends and relatives. And having a random bunch of weird guys trying to get me involved in this idiocy is even worse.

Also. I got a job offer. :D Yay me!
Worldspace wants to know if I’m interested in coming to work for them. They’re going to be launching a magazine, and they want ME! I wasn’t even looking yet. Or in radio, or print media at all! But still. Very flattering. And actually, it looks like a lot of fun. It’s an amazing job opportunity. After all, think how good it’ll look on my CV. “was part of the Launch of The ____. A leading music magazine in India.” Hehehe… fun
Went for an interview last week. So now all I’m really waiting for, to make my decision, is their salary offer. They did tell me it wouldn’t be low. But in any media field ‘low’ is a relative term. But this is Worldspace. So I have hopes. As you can probably tell, I’m seriously contemplating taking this job.
Well, that’s about all I’ve been up to really. Doesn’t sound all that busy really. But somehow, I have been. And then, of course, there was the dreaded internet connection – or lack thereof – to contend with. But really, that’s no excuse for not writing in here… so from now on I’ll try and keep it up a little better. Ok? No more poking! :)
