What Do You Want To Do Before You Die?
I'm about to cross off #26 on my list. And I'm Stoked.
So here's the thing!
I've been wandering what to do with my summer this year. I remember reading the longest thread I have ever read on this site, about another tour that could be happening in the US, but because I don't live over there and haven't raised enough money for the holiday I was bummed out for a while about what I'll be getting up to. I just figured I would waste my summer working in a krispy kreme stand or something.
So...as troubled as I were, I prayed. "Give me something productive to do, Lord!"
And as Great as he is...he answered.
I had been involved in some voluntary work with a charity called "Envision" while I was sixteen and every now and then I continue to get involved and they continue to e-mail me. A couple of weeks ago I got an e-mail from them giving me the opportunity to make a professional documentary with industry professionals.
I apllied. And I got selected! "THANK YOU LORD!"
So my summer's all set. Last weekend I met the team I will be working with for the first time, and they're all so cool, so talented and so ambitious. I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in. I can't really reaveal much about what the documentary and stuff will be about yet 'cos I'm not allowed, all very professional; but will sure to post up more info soon.
Sorry for the rant, I'm just sooo happy!
Have a good one!

Hey!
It went real good! Thanks for asking.
Finished now, apparantly it'll be touring schools up and down the country. Hope it doesn't bore anyone.
