Promax week

For this last week of work I attended the Promax conference in downtown LA. It was a mix of cooperate people and creative personal. It was a lot of fun and an exciting time. I was the one who ran the booth for my company. It was a great learning chance. Oh and also last week a co worker had to be let go and this was also very interesting because I got a chance to witness what happens when someone is let go. This next week I believe I will be going to the twilight screening. That will be fun and a good chance to mix with people. I have learned it's about who you know.

After my first week, I sure was tired. I ended up working an extra day, friday. It was fun becuase I was able to go to a screening of Toy Story 3. Great film, very well done and goes great with the other. Pixar always does a great job with their films. Next week is a very busy week. I am hoping to go to a meeting at Disney and Also 2 demos next week. Also next week is Promax ts a conference. I don't know much about it but I am hoping to find out more soon.

First day

My first day of my internship started at 6am, can you say I was nervous? I left my place at 7 because of all the horror stories you hear about LA traffic well I got to work at 7:25 and I started at 8:30 so you could say I was early. Well as soon as 8:30 rolled around I got a tour of my office and was given a cubicle. After dealing with some computer issues, I had to sit through 2 conference calls. As a part of intern welcoming everyone has to sing their schools fight song. I made Oregon proud. GO Ducks. As a part of NCM is working with other companies for advertisement space in the segment First Look before the films. I had to gather a greater understanding of what the company does. The first thing I was able to do was help compile a list of videogame release dates for the E3 conference that is happening this week in LA. That was a lot of fun. My body is not use to working these long days, it sure did wipe me out.
