Outside
of my internship, life has been pretty cool in LA! Monday night at the alumni
panel was really cool and a great opportunity to listen to past Grady students
and their story. Most of the Grady alum had been on Grady LA in past years and
have moved on decently far in their personal endeavors. Tuesday in class we
learned a few things and then later went to the Writers Guild to attend a
master class with Mike O'Malley. It was an awesome experience to listen to him.
On Thursday in class we watched 'The Hollywood Complex' followed by meeting a
child actor who has grown up in the Oakwood Toluca Hills Apartments and has
been fairly successful in the entertainment industry. After the Q&A, a
group of us went to the pool to relax for a couple hours. After dinner at
In-N-Out, a group of us tried to go to a comedy show at the Comedy Store to
find out upon arrival that the show was sold out, so we walked around Sunset
Boulevard for a little and hung out at a cool bar called The Den. After work on
Friday, a majority on the trip went out in downtown LA in the hopes to find a
cool bar. Saturday, I got up super early and went to Disneyland by myself.
Despite being by myself, I had one of the best day I have ever had at a Disney
park. I was able to ride the new Soarin’ Around The World, which was amazing!
The rest of the day was absolutely awesome and I barely had to wait in any
lines. To cap off the night I had an amazing meet and greet experience with the
one and only Minnie Mouse along with watching Paint the Night Parade and
Disneyland Forever Fireworks. Visiting Universal Studios Hollywood was pretty
awesome today too. It was really cool to see everything on the back lot tour.
And on top of the tour, being able to play in the park for the rest of the day
while getting to know more people in the group was a cherry on top of my week!
Walt Disney's wife, Lillian, had a favorite horse on King Arthur Carrousel that she would always ride when visiting the park. The thing that makes this horse very different from the others is that it has one gold tooth. To me and many other Disney geeks, this is basically sitting on a national treasure because it is a piece of history.
