Hi. I'm Meghan and this is my first blog post in the history of my entire 22 years of existence. Im not quite sure how to write a "good" blog post. (Is there a way to write a "good" blog post?) who knows. If you like it, you like it. If you don't, you don't. ...Right?
Hi. I'm Meghan and I DON'T write about myself. It's weird to write about my life and have people read what I feel is pretty boring. Nothing really happens to me that's worth sharing with everyone on the entire world wide web. Until now.
I actually feel like I have a lot to write about today... something I actually feel like sharing... WITH ZE WOOORRRLLDDD! So, ummm.... here it goes!
Hi. I'm Meghan and this has been MY LIFE... (this week)
This past week has been a crazy one for me. I've been cramming my schedule with photoshoots, wasting a lot of gas, spending hours editing, worrying about my life and where it's headed until...
BAM!
I get an email from Shelley, the Director of Admissions at Hallmark Institute of Photography (where I go to school), asking if I knew where I was going after graduation. HA! *in my head* "Back to the lovely town of Athol, Massachusetts to work at the lovely Athol Memorial Hospital making 11 dollars an hour, still trying to figure out my photographic career...."
I read on...
"Because I have a job opportunity for you in NYC".
Wait..... WHUT? the Big Apple? no, no, no. I am NOT a city girl. Holy crap, the city? Where half of my class is dying to live after they graduate but I'M getting the opportunity??? ....SO, I go see Shelley in her office to talk about this opportunity (I'm already turning it down in my head, because I get that way about everything scary.... I'm trying to quit) and apparently 2 other Hallmark grads from 2010 are working for the company PhotoOp, a high end portrait studio in NYC (photoopnyc.com, if you want to check it out) and are looking for other Hallmark students to come and work with them there.
Shelley- "I need an answer by tomorrow."
Me- "=0!!! ahh!"
My head is buzzing. I'm not really sure what to make of this situation. It doesn't hit me until I'm driving to a friend's apartment that "OMG.HOWCANITURNTHISDOWN.IHAVETODOIT.THISISHUGE!"
My face --->
SO! I have an interview in New York City on Friday, May 4th at 2:00pm. I'm excited, I'm stressed, I'm worried, and slightly confident. There is so many things going on in my head, I don't know how to process them. I guess I won't know how to really feel until I'm there. AHH! we'll see.
On another not so stressful note, but just as exciting... My fellow students and I had conferences with some teachers this week about our work so far for our last final of the year and they were very happy and impressed with my 10 pictures so far. It was great to hear genuine praise. It made me feel a lot more confident about what I'm creating. Now, 17 more pictures to go by June 1st. AHH.. the stress is never ending.
Sooooo, that's all. I'll try to keep posting about the experiences to come as soon as I can.
Here's a quote.... because that's what you do on blogs, right? :p
