Today was the day. After 4 years of college, I'd finally made it. I, Lillian Smith, am starting my first "official" job! And when I official I mean not as a spa assistant...
*Flashback*
"You've applied for 17 jobs?! Mom cried, rather impressed with my dedication to make-up.
"Yes, ma, but I doubt I'll get a big movie one, it'll probably be for a smelly indie movie...." I replied sounding rather displeased. "Wait, hold on ma, I'm getting another call."
"Hello, Lillian Smith speaking."
"Ah! Miss Smith! This is Peter Owen of hair and make-up for Lord of the Rings. I've looked over your application and passed works and well, we want you. You'll be flown down to New Zealand in 5 days time, and don't worry everything will be paid for! But are you up for it?"
I was flabbergasted. "Uh yeah, ok." Was the only thing I could muster out of my mouth.
"Great see you soon!"
That night, I did many a happy dance.
*Real Life*
In 5 days my whole life had been flipped upside down and I've been loving every second!
"Prepare for descend into Auckland, New Zealand in about 10 minutes."
AGH! I'm so excited! As a child Lord of the Rings were me favorite books! Now I'm working on the set! I was just hair and make-up I arrived on a commercial airplane which was perfectly dandy with me, considering that's all I've ever flown in.
I had finally arrived and hailed a taxi to get to the set of my very first movie. (outfit on the side)
