UCLA here I come!

It's official folks, I'm going to UCLA in the fall.

I'm pretty excited. Nervous, sure, but excited. Way more excited than scared. At least I think so! Friday night when I got home from jury duty there it was: a large envelope. Yes, I'd already been rejected by UCLA once but that was the MFA program. Apparently I'd been accepted into their professional screenwriting program. All I had to do was sign the paperwork and send them a deposit. (I was glad not to have to resend all my supporting materials.)

So that's it, I'm enrolled. I think it's going to be a great opportunity. It's a year-long program, three quarters - fall, winter, and spring - from September to June. It's two nights a week, there's a lecture class and then a small group-type of class. At the end I'll get a certificate (there's even a ceremony) and walk away with two completed feature-length screenplays which is exactly what I want and need to break into this business.

So here we go folks, Ang is working on finding a school somewhere near UCLA (which is close to Beverly Hills if that helps you to locate it on the map) and I've been looking for apartments. Wish me luck!!!
