"No, We're Never Gonna Quit It, No, We're Never Gonna Quit It, No"

A couple days ago, I landed my first official internship with FameTag, an app that tracks your "image" at school, and I will be running their social media platforms. My first Skype meeting with my new boss is on Monday, and I'm nervous to know what I have in store the next few months, but I'm excited at the same time. I'm excited to take on such a challenge, I'm excited to gain some experience, and I'm excited for money (let's be honest, who isn't?), albeit stipend only. All of the work that I have done in the past have been volunteer or unpaid, and I'm ready to step into the real world and to pretend to know what I'm doing.

The past two days have been mostly dedicated to painting and relaxing. Yesterday, I spent a couple hours in the studio working on a self portrait that I cannot seem to get right -- but such is life because there's always something I can improve on. It was a little stressful in the studio that day, but eating Thai food and too many donuts with real friends was a good break from work. Today I woke up early to participate in a community mural project at Ardenwood Elementary. In my opinion, the subject was elementary, but so is the school, so it's fitting. It was good to be involved in a service project, working with like-minded folks. I left before it was finished, but I felt accomplished with what I contributed. 

My soundtrack for this week has been a compilation of You Me At Six, Panic! At the Disco, The Colourist, and X Ambassadors. And thanks to some kid I know, I have recently started to listen to this one band that is actually just Artist VS Poet with an accent that you can only sometimes slightly understand. 

Tidbits from my mind:

• Explored Berkeley City Club's architecture with Anna instead of getting CREATE work done.
• Canvas conversations were a highlight of this weekend. 
• Why is it "get money get paid"? It's redundant. It should be "get money get laid."
• I've been in a much happier place, and I'm glad I am surrounded by a good group of kids. 
• I like where I am right now, I like what I'm doing now, and I'm never gonna quit it.
• Should I jus call this my blawg from now on?
