12/11/15

This week is the last blog we are going to write before Christmas Break! This year has been kind of weird though because we haven't even decorated the house for Christmas. My family has been so busy with work and school that we can't find the time to get everything out together, because those boxes are heavy and I have a broken hand and can't feel my fingers. 
But I'm still kind of in the Christmas-y spirit because I am doing a Christmas show that opens tomorrow, my car only plays Christmas music this time of year that I totally sing-off key to because I'm by myself. 

It's still not the same though, for me when I was little, my favorite part was decorating the house with all the different Christmas trees, adding lights to the stairwell and of course Christmas scented candles. It's crazy how school, work, midterms and life gets in the way of us doing the things that we really do. I think it defiantly takes a way from the Christmas spirit. Don't know what I mean? Well, I have a story for you...

I worked on Black Friday, which is probably the worst day EVER for anyone who works in retail. My job was to put clothes back on the floor and find customers sizes, the amount of people that had an attitude towards everyone working, who was impatient, or had something rude to say to us was unbelievable, these people who were buying presents for their loved ones, couldn't say one nice thing to everyone working really hard to get what they needed. 

For everyone out there reading this blog, Christmas is the time of year to be nice and kind to each other(although we should be nice and kind to each other all the time) but spread the Christmas spirit and be kind to one another, pay it forward, say something kind about the people who work in your favorite restaurants or clothing stores. It's an amazing feeling to see someone who's been having a bad day, smile at a compliment. 

Since I haven't put up my Christmas tree, here's a picture of my online tree:)

PSA's are done!!!

It's PSA week! 

We are FINALLY done. It took a lot longer than I thought because editing everything how the whole group wants it took a lot of time. I didn't realize how much work went into making a short video. Choosing the right type of music, selecting the right type of shot, getting the person to do what you envisioned. It's really hard. I totally give kudos to one of the guys in my group because he did a great job putting the sequence together and making it look awesome. 

Ours is being shown on Thursday and I'm super excited to see what people think and say about it
Here's a little sneak peak as to what it's going to look like.
