exhausted but ready

Eish - writing a blog is not as simple as I thought. It is so revealing to just put my thoughts and feels and actions out there. I am very aware of they eyes that may or may not read me. So just starting simple. Warm up to it a little.

I leave in a week for the DRC to try my hand at freelance TV journalism. I have radio background, and Masters in Film and Television, but applying it all together? Quite nerve-wracking actually. The conversation of "what the hell am I doing!?" is popping up alot. But at the same time I am excited, curious, challenged, to see what will happen. How will I cope, how with the footage look? Will someone want to buy it? Can I write the stories with integrity?

A camerawoman is coming with me, so the experience, the work, the fun will get to be shared with another person. Funny, we hardly even know eachother, but we do know that we will be able to work together. Sometimes you just have a good feeling about someone and something. Sometimes you take risks.

This is one of those times.

Have to finish up about a million things before I go.
