Hey guys! Today has been a very special day for me. Can you guess why? Well... It is my birthday! This time of year has already came and hit me so quickly. So today, I tried to make it as best as I could. But this is also the day that I compete in my PSA so lemme tell you how I did.
So I woke this morning at about 7:30 and I already had to get ready and eat breakfast and be in the lobby by 8:30. So by the time I got ready, the spot feature had already started their briefing and the Movie Trailer at 9 so we were going to have our briefing at 10. But in the mean time, we had breakfast (Chocolate muffin and pop tart) and we were off to the to where we were to set up our "camp". But after we, set up, I went to half a breakout session, then we were off to our briefing. A guy explained the rules, and asked if we had any questions then he told us the topis. The Golden Rule. Yeah, remember that from our first STN practice? Anyway, we started by coming to our hotel room, making a script, then we immediately started filming. We did communicate, got off topic sometimes, but got filming done,. We then picked out music, ate some jelly beans, and went downstairs to edit. I will be honest, I don't know how editing went but everyone told me Happy Birthday, I went to two breakout sessions about On the Road broadcasts and one more thing that I can't remember. But when breakout sessions were over, I found out that both Spot Feature and Movie Trailer had finished so it was all up to us. I remember that me, Saul, and Ben M went up to the room and got ready for our penpal dinner. We ran down the stairs because we were late and Isa and Justice come running to me to tell us they finished. Best birthday present! After that, everything went pretty smooth. Well, almost... I had a great dinner with my pen pal, watched an ok STN spotlight. Then came back upstairs. Well, we checked to make sure all of our equipment. And my group just didn't agree with me!!! They said that we brought up Sennheisers 1 and didn't believe me when I said that we brought the right Sennheisers. So we made a big scene made out of it and even Mr. M. had to come. It turns out that it was the right Sennheisers but we had checked the bag poorly. Lesson learned and I learned that we need more trust in each other. But that's all I have so see you at my next blog!
