not counting jet lag, i'm doing fine. the big apple is still as big as i remember. though being in the middle manhattan (west 23rd street and 9th avenue) it cuts you away from the skyscrapers of this "island". still i'm glad to see that every morning my path to school and back will be decorated by a magnificant view of the empire state building rising above broadway avenue. beautiful.
the new compound of NYFA (the new york film academy) at soho (prince st. and broadway) is beginning to be like my second home. my first class already seems like i've been here for a few weeks already. broadcast journalism...i wonder how it will turn out.
the worries that i won't be accepted and how i'm gonna fit in are totally redundant. the second i walk into the classroom helen, the international student from england, greets me and we start chatting. she tells me everything that happened the day i was missing (i reckon i don't need to go into the details again...). i slowly get the picture of what the classes will be like.
other students arrive. the teacher arrives and at 9:30am the class begins. very intensivly we get into the hands-on audio sphere with dexter. lunch. then hands-on camera with a great cinematographer/director till. i mean, it's my first day and already we are operating equipment worth thousands of dollars (panasonic hvx 200)! amazing! this is what i came here for. let the filming begin!
