And it is only after that exam will I find out if I am even qualified for the interview.Īll I know is that it’s that school or no school for me. I heard it will include topics in Pharmacy and Psychology. Preparing that long list of requirements (including lining up for an NBI clearance and getting a “hit” because some suspicious person’s name sounds like mine) and now pretending to review for the exam that we all have to take in seven days. It also appears in Joseph Campbell’s book Follow Your Bliss, but it is also commonly attributed to transcendentalist author and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It appears in The Alchemist, by Paul Coelho, which was published in 1988, but the origin is actually much older. This quote has been attributed to many different sources. The process of applying has been hard so far, and I’m not even halfway into it. Origin of the Quote: Paul Coelho, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Joseph Campbell. And finally, we hope to start and finish writing our discussion before the end of the month.
Now we have to spend the next 2 weeks coming up with graphs and visual representations for our findings. We’re about done with our data collection (which was supposed to be finished last term, thanks to our procrastination).
hard!!! Sherry and I, preparing the informative brochures to give to survey respondents. Coming up with our own thesis altogether – no similar study to serve as reference – was… and still is. Finding people with and without gallstones was hardģ. Coming up with our own survey questions was hardĢ. We basically want to answer three questions:īut these are the reasons why Sherry (my thesis partner) and I are going crazy:ġ. Ours is an epidemiological study about gallstones in the Philippines. No spending of hours in the lab trying to extract DNA of unusual fish species, no waiting for two weeks just to get test results back from Malaysia or something, and no need for research funding from a fancy professor. We just needed to hand out surveys to get our data. I thought ours would be easy, quick and basically costless. To all those who trusted my advice – this is to let you know that I sincerely regret underestimating our study and advising you to make yours similar in nature. She literally said mother without any knowledge of the part in my film!Ī lot of other incredible things have been happening regarding my film.Two things I am worrying about at the moment – finishing my thesis, and getting accepted in my med school of choice.Ī lot of my sophomore classmates are asking me about my thesis, since they have to come up with their own research topics this term. And recently, a woman I envision to play a mother character in my film expressed to someone else that she would be willing to play a “mother” in any of my future films. I was a first-year law student when I finally realized that I had to face my fears and pursue filmmaking, thus, I dropped out of school and returned home to Los Angeles to make films.īelieve me, a ton of fear still lurks in my mind however, now that I’m fully committed to making my first feature film and taking bold steps in actualizing it, the universe definitely seems to be conspiring to help me.įor instance, my top choice as producer for my film, Jen Dornbush, agreed to the job. In search of security via traditional careers, I denied my passion to create until I could no longer stand it. It took me quite some time to fully commit to a filmmaking career. And though I’ve forgotten much of what I read, there is a statement that has stuck with me: the universe will conspire to help those who pursue their passion. In my 20s, I read a ton of self-help books, perhaps too many.
