Over the past few weeks I\u2019ve received some great news that is really going to impact my time at BU next year. My best friend (and sometimes my greatest nemesis) is moving to Boston this summer. My older sister, Madison, is graduating from college this June and then she\u2019ll be headed my way to take on Boston with me.<\/p>\n
If there\u2019s one thing I\u2019ve learned from her impending arrival, it\u2019s how much I still have to do here in Boston. She\u2019s constantly rattling off \u2018we should try this\u2019 or \u2018let\u2019s do that when I get there.\u2019 It\u2019s like she\u2019s more familiar with the city than I am lately. For this reason, I\u2019m really making an effort to get out into the city this semester, take the time to familiarize myself with the areas I don\u2019t spend as much time in, and branch out.<\/p>\n
An aide to this exploration is actually my Production 1 class. All Film and TV students have 4 required courses: Production 1, Understanding TV, Understanding Film and Screenwriting. Production 1 familiarizes students with different equipment and editing software. Another aspect of the class is filming 3 different \u2018short film\u2019 projects over the semester. While it\u2019s a lot of work outside the classroom, it\u2019s also a great excuse to get off campus and into Boston. I\u2019m only three weeks in and I\u2019ve already had so much fun going into the north end and over to the financial district to scout locations for my projects. It\u2019s also helping me find a few things I\u2019m excited to try with Maddie when she arrives too.<\/p>\n
While she still doesn\u2019t understand that an apartment in the north end isn\u2019t in walking distance to my classes on campus or that the t is our public transportation system not just a letter in the alphabet, she\u2019s still teaching me a lesson or two. It\u2019s going to be hard to sacrifice some of my binge-TV time (which I\u2019m sure she indulges in just as much as I do) but I\u2019m excited to dive into our little, (or not so little) Boston Bucket List together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
