April is almost over and I'm both happy and dismayed by this.
Happy because the rain has been non-stop. Just when I thought the day would be sunny and warm, the clouds roll in and a downpour begins! On the bright side, there haven't been nearly as many fat brown slugs as there usually are in the fall, and instead there has been an emergence of itty bitty snails. My friend Kate was in town for the weekend, and this snail made me think of her and her old snail-ridden sub-garden-level apartment. And it looked brilliant from afar, almost electric yellow. Upon further investigation it is more of an opaque color I guess.
Dismayed because that just means it's been another month of me trying to find work. There were some prospects that have fallen through, so I'm not completely disheartened, just dismayed. I'm looking into internship possibilities now since I am pretty set on getting into the digital media field, and though there are opportunities, I feel that I don't have the "Ausbildung" or "Praktikum" they desire/require.
In other news, I will be posting my most recent video to my Vimeo page, the one I made in collaboration with some friends for this year's DocChallenge. It turned out nicely, so be sure to look for that. I am still continuing to work on my "Ausländer" video with Hannah Huddy, hoping to do some more filming this week and next.
