Re: First day of Internship and the film festival.
Did i already respond to this? I can't remember if i did or not. x⸑x
In case i didn't: ☉ ‿ ⚆
What a cool way to start off your internship! ٩(^‿^)۶
Thanks for sharing/writing about what you saw! ☆ (^_^) ☆
It seems like you've ended up at a good/cool studio! (•̀ᴗ•́)
I hope you get to relax somewhat this weekend after a busy week! (◡ ‿ ◡)
Sorry for being so late, but replying here to say what I did regarding Internship in the last month! ^^
Soooo... basically some of the people that work in the place where I'll do internship did some lessons in a high school highly focused on art, with a specialization of videomaking, and so as internship I followed these lessons! ^^
They were about post production, specifically focusing about audio post production and color post production. I learned a lot of new things I didn't know about and it was very interesting! ^^
For now I just did 28 hours out of 75, so I need to do more stuff, but at least I started to learn something new. Soon I should start doing some practical stuff too, so I can't wait!! ^^
Also, I hope you had a wonderful month, extremely sweet anon, extremely sorry for being soooo late!!!
Re: Internship accepted!
It seems like it's my turn to apologise for my late response! x⸑x
I should never have doubted you Ale! ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ✿
You are like a michelin star chef!
You've got so many "saucepans going".
And it always turns out great! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
(The saucepans in this case, is a metaphor for all the things you've got going on!)
Your internship sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun! <(^_^)>
And your greek cultural studies sounds cool!
Deep diving into a subject that you liked as a child, when you are older with new perspectives can be really rewarding. (• ◡•)
And good luck with your french! -`ღ´-
P.s. I hope your therapist remembered you! ≧◡≦
Ah! I made you wait even more! I'm the real latecomer here, extremely sorry for that XDDD
But I waited not only because I forgot about Revospring and because it loads SO slowly for me, but also for another reason: today it was my first day of Internship!!
Basically this was an introduction. I didn't do much. I attended a spectable during a HUGE film festival they are doing right now here called Bifest! ^^
I attended this event where they showed 10 short films and we had to vote our fav and one of them was produced by the studio I'm working on for internship!!! I REALLY REALLY enjoyed the experience, those short movies were SOOO GOOD!!! And so damn inspiring, wow, I wish I could make one, one day... imagining myself presenting my short movie in a similar festival and I LOVE that I could get creative with the direction, the themes and I could give a message. I saw heartbreaking small documentaries, but also those movies talked about trans women in sports, being gay in a criminal gang (this was the theme of the short of the studio where I'm an intern, basically being both homophobic and gay in a criminal local gang), being a parent that just discovered their kid watched porn despite being 11 and tried to recreate a scene with a girl, about hypocrisy related to help others, about two sisters that lived during WW2 and that had a very sad childhood, about a doctor that apparently made miracles in a small city even after he died... it was so SOOOO GOOD!!! And the CEO of the workplace told me they'll teach me more about short movies, I'm excited!!! Next week I'll get another call ^^
About other stuff, French is hella frustrating, I'm trying to do my best XDD
Enjoying a lot the course about Medea tho!! ^^
And, yes, my therapist rememebered me because she's my therapist since October 2023, so it's been some years ^^
Btw, AWWWWWWWW!! Thank you so SO much and I hope you are having a wonderful day, sweet sweet anon!! ^^
How do you feel knowing Alec got eliminated in the new episode? I’m curious and I want to know, I had a meltdown seeing it happen :(
Sorry for the late reply ^^;
First of all, hi, anon!! Very happy to see someone else watching Disventure Camp season 5!!!
Second... uuuuuhhhh... I admit I got spoilers almost a week before the episode was released, I couldn't believe them and... honestly, I was feeling AWFUL because... how can you get him eliminated so early?! What about his interactions with Fiore?! They had certain moments that are extremely cute, but nothing much... also the fact he lost against TOM, aaahhh...
Btw, when I actually saw the episode I had the time to digest the news, but still... Alec lost because he wasn't observant, so that's why they evidenced those drawings, only for this challenge. Ok, there was a good build up, but I'm still annoyed by the fact Tom beated him. He isn't as annoying as Jake, but I thought he was going to get eliminated soon. I really hoped for Alec to go far. Also I enjoy Anastasia, her decision made totally sense but... DAMN!!!
But the thing that broke me the most was seeing how FIORE was extremely sad... Alec was so ashamed he didn't even say goodbye to her and she had this HUGE sad eyes... poor girl, I want to hug her sooooo bad...
And she isn't even aware he won't come back..
I admit here Alec reminded me a lot of Fan in III/Inanimate Insanity Invitational: first veteran to get actually eliminated and that decides to not come back in the competition and that has a very VERY strong bond with another contestant...
As we saw in the last confessional Fiore already seems to know what to do, she seems to have a plan, but we are also aware that she hides her feelings because they are "for weak people" and that she's ashamed about her being seen as "childish", weak and so on. But we clearly saw she was geniunely hurt and that she was searching Alec's comfort in some moments in this season. And now she will repress all that... poor girl, I wonder if she will open up with someone. People say Rosa, but Rosa actually voted for her... so who knows...
Oooh, oooh!! Also, regarding Anastasia's speech in the previous episode, she was evidently referring to Daniel, but now Alec is devided because yes, he negletted Daniel, but he gave to Fiore that attention and that care he would have never received from someone else and he basically helped Fiore a lot. I mean, I think in the two years between All Stars and FvF Alec and Fiore bonded even more and she felt geniunely happy at having finally a good mentor and a very very close bond. And we saw Fiore being so close to Alec to mimic his gestures, you can notice this in moments when they both express anger, frustration, smugness or during elimination cerimonies where they have the same body language and the same expression.
Also some weeks ago I found a post about emotional incest, this image I'm showing, and it's INCREDIBLE how much it describes very well the bond between Alec and Fiore in certain points. Not all points, but some of them are scarily accurate. The bond between Alec and Fiore isn't the healthiest, I mean I ship them for reasons, but it helped them a lot... and I'm scared now... Alec can't leave Fiore alone, but what about Daniel? Eeeehh... I hope this will be explored, even if now Alec won't be a contestant anymore...
I love Fiore and Alec sooooo much, completely destroyed for Alec's elimination, but I really can't wait to see more... and to see how Fiore will be... my sweet adorable Italian loli...
Thanks a lot for allowing me to yap a bit about my soooo beloved Fialec, I hope the answer isn't too bad XDDD
I'm so happy to see a fellow profic total drama fan hiii
Oh, hiiii! Sorry, just opened revospring now! For me it's usually very very slow, I should maybe use another site...
Still, ooooohhh!! Very happy to see another profic Total Drama fan! ^^
I love that cartoon so much I wrote my Bachelor thesis about it!! ^^
Re: Internship interview.
I'm rooting for you Ale! ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ
Do you know what software they use, so that you can familiarise yourself somewhat with it beforehand? Or, at the very least. Say that you are aware of it. (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)
Even if (and i hope this won't be the case! (≧︿≦) ) They can't find a suitable position for you, don't give up or get demoralised!
And if you get a spot. ( ゚ヮ゚)/
Be prepared for long hours and hard work, on things you may not feel all that passionate about. = _ =
Like drawing foliage until your wrists hurt. Or animating a wheel on a car that passes by in the background for a couple of seconds and spending days on that! ☉ ‿ ⚆
And some words of advice:
Don't get sad if you end up feeling like no one is willing to sit down with you, and show you their technique. A lot of people are intimidated when it comes to teaching, and it's not you that are a problem! ♥
I've been at internships myself, and had to chase people to get them to teach me things! Or ask them if i could observe. (╯°□°)╯
Sorry if i'm a debbie downer in this post, I do wish you well! ♥
P.s. If you are going to be dealing with HR, look up some common italian HR questions.
So you know what to expect.
Or better yet, look into whether your university has a HR department.
And tell them (Uni HR) about yourself (about anxiety or difficulties with strong emotions.)
And ask if they could find some time (15 minutes or so.)
To do a mock interview, and give you some pointers on what you can improve.
Or what they would be looking for (to figure out about you.) When asking you certain questions.
And if the studio doesn't find a spot for you, and if you dealt with HR there.
You can email them, and ask for feedback on what you could think of in future interviews. Some are happy to help!
P.p.s. This turned into a whole paragraph of it's own. (°^°)/
And i just realised, Friday is upon us already! And you won't have time for uni HR help!
Well .. it's staying in.. (ಥ﹏ಥ)
Sorry for not replying before, I forgot, then I felt too tired, but I made the interview last week and... I GOT ACCEPTED, YES!!!
It isn't about animation specifically, even if the company also works with cartoons, but it's about post-editing and post-production. I used Sony Vegas in the past, but they use DaVinci, but they told me the internship will be mostly theoric and that they'll teach me all the stuff ^^
Also they'll make me join some film festival and they talked about an Italian Pixar animator I could possibly meet, that's SOOOO COOL!!!
Now I'm waiting to receive the schedule, I'll mostly have internship in the morning, I admit I'm very excited about what they'll teach me!! ^^
And, I thank you deeply for all the advices and suggestions, I'll make sure to keep that in mind! I just... hope to not make huge messes there XDDD
Also, I doubt there is a Uni HR department, or at least I've never heard of that. Maybe I should search...
Oooh, also, talking about other news, this week I started lessons! I started following a course about Ancient Greek threatre and specifically Medea by Euripides, a tragedy I wrote a small thesis about as high school finale and that I feel very deeply to me and... OOOOOHHH, I LOVE ANCIENT GREEK LITERATURE SOOO MUCH!!!! I missed it, so I feel a huge joy studying it again! It's mostly a repetition of stuff I know, but there is also some new stuff, it's just so SOOO damn interesting...
And next week I'll start a French language course too, I studied a bit French in middle school and Bachelor, but I wouldn't be able to talk it much XDD
And on Monday I'll have my therapist appointment, I haven't talked with my therapist in a while but I want to talk about all the stuff that happened lately, I'm extremely happy things are turning for the best!!
Extremely sorry for the delay, but don't worry about the paragraph you wrote, I appreciated very very deeply, I wish you an extremely EXTREMELY wonderful and splendid day!!! ^^
Congratulations on your exam results, and on your success in getting a supervisor!
※(^o^)/※
I'm sorry to hear about your continued troubles with the internship.
I hope you can find something that can benefit you in the future !
っ (・3・) っ
And i can see why you would like to stay close by! ◕ ‿‿ ◕
I'm doing good! ( ´◔ ω◔`)
Thank you for the kind words, i wish you the same! ♥
Sorry to reply only now but I got good news regarding Internship!! ^^
Basically I sent an email to a professor that deals with internship requests in my Faculty, I asked her for help and... I GOT AN EMAIL FROM A STUDIO!!! I have to do an interview on Friday and... I really hope it goes well!!! ^^
Also to reach the place I have to take the bus and walk by feet for 10 minutes, so seems maneagable!!
I really hope the interview goes well!!!
I hope the exam goes well, and that the professor will agree to be your supervisor. ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽
Regarding internships: Do you know if any of your professors have "contacts in the industry ", so that you'd get a "referral"? (ⱺ ʖ̯ⱺ)
Are there any institutes, or institutions that your university works with/is sponsored by that you could contact?
And don't be afraid to follow up on the mails that you've already sent!
Any opportunities for internships/exchange or guest work in Switzerland/Austria or Slovenia/Croatia? France? Or is that entirely too difficult? (❍ᴥ❍)
I'm sorry if all of this is of no help at all! (⩾﹏⩽)
I hope it all works out in the end! (。◕‿‿◕。)
p.s: I'm sure your bf will love your drawing! ʕ♥ᴥ♥ʔ
I GOT 30/30 + laude at the exam and the professor accepted to be my supervisor for the thesis!!!! YEEESSSSSS!!!
Yes, I waited days before answering, I wanted to give the exam first and I got even more than the max, my first 30/30 + laude at my Master Degree Uni!!! Now only 6 exams left and then I can graduate! 6 exams... and the internship, sigh...
Technically I could try to ask help to some professors, there is one that is specifically invested in internship, so I could send an email to her.
For now I mostly sent emails to instistutes, some of them already worked with my Uni while others didn't, and... I got a negative answer or not answer at all. I admit I sent emails to institutes that deal with Animation because I want to work in that area in that future but... I think that now I'll send emails to institutes that are "just" about cinema or TV. The easiest choice would be working in the Uni library, but I want to do something that would help me with my future and someone I can put my passion on! I really NEED to do the internship otherwise I can't graduate, so time to send some emails!! ^^
And, uuuuh, doing internship in another country would be hard because I still have 2 courses to follow in the second semester, so I prefer just sticking with something in My Uni city.
Your advices were still very helpful and I thank you a lot for wanting to help and... Oooooh, I really hope so! As I said, I can't graduate if I don't do internship...
And, AWWWWWWWWWW!!! Thank you soooooo much!!! Sorry for the late reply, but I hope you are having wonderful days and you are having a fantastic day now!! ^^
Happy new year to you as well, Signorina Ale! ※(^o^)/※
I'm glad the gifts you gave were well received! And that you liked the ones you got, along with all the food. ʕ·͡ᴥ·ʔ
I hope you get some time to discuss the subjects of the exam with your classmates, before it takes place. So that you can work out anything that you are not feeling 100% sure about! (◠‿◠)
AWWWWWWWWWWWW!! Thanks a lot, happy new year also to you, extremely adorable anon!!! ^^
Technically I already talked with my classmates, they talked to me about the structure of the oral exam, but I'm still extremely nervous, as always XDDD
I hope it goes well, I still have days to study for it, I can do it!!! ^^
And after this exam, I can't wait to work on my other projects and stuff!! ^^
With the root canal issues, did you manage to eat any yummy food for christmas?
(っˆڡˆς)
If so, what did you have? (ⱺ ʖ̯ⱺ)
And did you receive any nice gifts? ( ͡° ᴥ ͡°)
I saw the wonderful art gifts you gave. (˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵)
Did you get something for your family as well?
Any funny reactions from the gifts that stood out to you? ( ´◔ ω◔`)
P.s. I'm rooting for you on the exam! ⊹٩(^‿^)۶⊹
Luckily now my tooth is in a stable condition, just in time because for Christmas I ordered a package FULL of food! It was a candy box for me and LOTS of American, Korean and Japanese snacks for my sisters ^^
Sadly the package arrived late, but it still arrived!!!
My sisters will make their friends try those snacks when we return in our dorm, they seemed to be extremely happy and I'm very very glad for it!!!
Also yesterday I tried buldak ramen for the first time, the extremely spicy ones that were... SOOOOO SPICY!!!! VERY VERY SPICY!!! But I liked them even if I was all burning XDD
And I tried the carbonara ones, but I just gave some small bites, I didn't like them XDD
In these days I'm eating all the high quality fish I won't eat when I'll be back to go to the cafeteria... mostlu squids, calamari and octopus, they are SOOO good!!
And, well, I mostly received money and that gift King ordered for me and that I LOVE IT SOOOO MUCH, that commission about my DnD character Sambukè, IIIIIIHHHHHHHHH!!!!
My sisters bought for me a shirt I really wanted, a shirt about Inanimate Insanity, but it still didn't arrive.
I didn't get anything for my parents, but I didn't have ideas. But I'll try to find some stuff to gift to my roommate ^^
Sorry for replying late but... AWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Thank you soooo much, adorable anon!! I have one week to finish studying, I feel SOOOO NERVOUS!!!! I feel like I know nothing, eeeh XDDD
Btw, happy new year!!! I really hope it will be extremely wonderful for you!!! ^^
Fist off congratulation on your exam result! ※(^o^)/※
Secondly, oh no! ( ✜︵✜ )
I'm sorry to hear about your friends treatment of you! (≧︿≦)
But don't hurt yourself over it Ale! ╚(•⌂•)╝
It hurts, but some friendships are not forever. And it can take years to get over them.
Trust me i know. x⸑x
Be cordial towards your friend but..
Try to focus yourself and your attention, energy and time to/on those that love you instead. (like your bf/family.)
And if you have time and feel the need for it. Try to find a therapist that understands your complexities, if you haven't already. ❤
I'm glad to hear about your good, working relationship with your course mates!
2026 looks to be a exciting and eventful year for you! <(^_^)>
And thank you for your merry wishes! (And i don't mind you venting!) ❤
Awwwwwwww!! Thanks a lor, my sweet SWEET anon!! ^^
And, eeehhh... you want to know a thing? Yesterday I saw that person unfollowed me both on Baraag and Twitter, but still retweeted the gift I made for her and a gift I made for another friend on Baraag... but she unfollowed me... and... I made this thing made me cry a lot, I couldn't sleep, I fell asleep at 8 am... of Christmas Day... eeeh, I feel kinda stupid for reacting in that way, it's... silly ^^; XDD
Luckily there was someone to comfort me, I'm extremely glad for it ^^
I think it means that... well, it's over. That I shouldn't have hopes, I should just let go and... now I feel tense because this person and I still play in the same DnD campaign... sigh...
I just know I suffered A LOT because of this person, she even made me cry the day of my 24th birthday, treating me meanly and refusing to join my birthday party...
I lost SO many friendships over the years and I thought this was "the one", but my therapist told me I have to re-think about what I want from friendships and that the concept of a "tight" friendship can mean also it's suffocating, so it can bring others away...
That person, however, had a pattern of getting close to people to then... escape. It happened with her ex, that she sent a message to after years she didn't talk with him. I wonder if it will happen with me. That person should still finish for me a commission I payed 180 dollars for, if they want to finish it. I... today I was calmer, but I'm mostly in the "it's over" mood...
I really hope my therapist will help me dyring this period and to deal with those traits of me that make people escape or make people hurt, like me being pushy or me getting angry for receiving a no... I'm already aware of my anxious attachment, that I worked on and it's way less intense now compared to years ago, and I'm aware of my HUGE fear of abandoment.
2025 was a VERY intense day, but I hope 2026 will just be a... happy one, I need comfort and happyness more than strong emotions, I want to feel GOOD! And do more things and continue to work hard of course!! ^^
