the end

wow. it's over! 

i can't believe i'm done with malpaso and LA and the summer...nearly.

i'm sure i'll be seeing all of you soon to tell you my tales in person, but briefly- my last day at work was one of my favourite days EVER. i walked in to find karen had bought me these lovely silver earrings as a thankyou present, and then billy had gotten all these little cakes iced with my name on which we had for breakfast... and deana - clint's assistant - sent over a bag with a malpaso fleece and a hat in it, and a dirty harry tshirt - bless her!!

we had a great lunch and to top it all off-----

i got to go down the the sarah connor chronicles shoot.

TWICE!!

not only this but

I MET LENA HEADEY and had a proper conversation about manchester and living in LA, and work and life and stuff. and she winked at me...

iris, the PA who billy knows and who invited us onto the set, LIVES with sophia myles, and hangs out with anna friel and lena headey on a regular basis. can we swap lives?

not only all this amazingness but it seemed like everyone i spoke to wanted to know how soon i was done with uni and whether i wanted to come back and work for them. i was even semi-invited to start working on malpaso's next project - in south africa!! - and for MONEY! unfortunately if they remain on schedule they'd start in january and i won't be done with school until june. 

irritatingly i am now less certain than ever about where i want to work next year!for a while at the start of the summer i missed england so much i couldn't imagine staying here. but now i love it so much i'm back thinking that yes, i do want to work here....

 london? or LA? LA throws up the visa issues again but it would be sooo worth fighting for. on the other hand i met people who know people on both harry potter and james bond over here in the uk and were convinced they could get me PA jobs on them.

all in all i am delighted, excited, overwhelmed and so so glad i had this experience. and on a personal level i already miss everyone in the office like CRAZY. when they asked me to keep in touch i'm not sure they realised my capacity for doing that... hahah.

this is really neither coherent nor detailed, but as i said, it'll be much more fun for me to tell you in person. :D

if you're within reach, come to mine at 7ish on tuesday 26th. (EIGHT DAYS AWAY!) bring a bottle!

i'm currently chilling in colorado with kelli, getting a lot of reading done, blissful.
