good morning youtube
it is monday august 24th
and this week i decided i would vlog my
week because i actually have a busy week
surprisingly with quarantine
i have a lot of computer work stuff that
i'm doing uh this week i'm actually in
training for a new job
which i will be telling you about later
we're gonna have a busy week this week
and i thought i would take you guys
along and see
what i've been up to recently so yeah
just freshly showered getting ready
for the day let's get started
so i've got my whole little home office
bedroom setup all set up for the past
few days i've been dealing with
my glasses prescription being really
crappy and old
and my head hurting a lot and me not
realizing it until the other day
thinking that it was just my eyes
getting really tired from staring at my
computer all day which is what partially
it is so i did buy myself some
blue light glasses to help out with the
staring at the computer all day thing
but now i am deciding about going to get
a new glasses prescription and a new
contact prescription probably today what
i'm trying out
is not wearing my normal glasses all day
and just wearing my contacts
and wearing my bootleg glasses to see
how i fare
with all of that every monday morning i
edit a little mashup video for
pop tap which is the tap class that i
take i've been taking it in person since
2017 and then virtually throughout
quarantine the teacher beth nixley she
likes to put a little mashup video
together on the instagram page
it's about 10 55 currently and i am
exporting
my pop tap mashup i am going to get
started on stuff for my next task of the
day which is
a third part of my training for my new
job i'm working as a part-time resume
writer for a company called let's see
grandma my sister alexis has worked for
the company for about five years and my
other sister morgan started working with
this company as well around the
beginning of quarantine it's a resume
writing service that does like resumes
cover letters linkedin's all that kind
of thing as well so i was doing video
editing and web design at the beginning
of quarantine but it kind of stopped for
a little bit and i was looking for
one way to make more money and two to
pass the time
especially because money wise right now
i'm currently living off of that
less than four hundred dollars
unemployment money because i don't have
that extra 600 bump anymore so my sister
alexis told me i should apply for the
job because
it's extra money it's something to do to
pass the time i did two days of training
last week which were like over zoom
calls and today i have a shadow call
with
somebody who currently writes for the
company so i can get an idea of what a
real client
call looks like and then i have to do a
sample resume and cover letter for them
and send it over to them before i get my
first clients which is very exciting and
then what the rest of the day is going
to look like is that i'm going to be
video editing for the rest of the day my
sister alexis created a pop-up called
syncopated which is a dinner pop-up that
she was doing throughout the summer and
the fall a couple weeks ago my sister
because she's also a dancer as well she
decided she wanted to
include that into the world of this
dinner pop-up so she's starting this new
series called this kitchen
for dancing and she's doing a lot of
israeli dancing and creating a recipe
that goes with each individual dance so
she asked me to edit these videos for
her which is like a tutorial of the
dance and then the full dance
currently she has 31 individual songs
that she wants to do this for and has a
tutorial
and a full video for every single one of
them i am have been in the process for
the past week of doing an initial edit
of all 31 of these videos that are going
to be posted throughout like until
november
and then i'm gonna be adding in the text
and the graphics afterwards but
i need to get started a little bit on
the text and the graphic stuff so that's
what i'm gonna be doing today
which is editing that so i've been
staring at my computer a lot
at my sister's face a lot carbon is
jumping up oh
yes carbon do you want to be included oh
don't don't don't do that
you just tried to swat at the camera oh
my god so yeah editing these videos has
been the main thing i've been doing for
the past week and probably
most of what i'm going to be busy
spending this week doing as well because
i want to get a
huge chunk of them completely finished
i am going to go ahead and give them a
call
okay great sounds good it is 1 20. i
have just finished my shadow call i got
lots and lots of notes about the resume
i'm working on and the coverlet i'm
working on
so
it is tuesday august 25th today i'm
getting a little bit of a later start
today is mostly a working day of
editing and working on that resume that
i have to do but i also have a voice
lesson effect clock i was doing voice
lessons before quarantine happened and i
stopped doing them when quarantine
started because
of money mostly because my voices are a
little bit more expensive
so i was like i'm gonna take a break so
i can save some money but also
my voice teacher who i was with at the
specific voice studio just left to do an
mba program
so i'm starting with a new voice teacher
today trying her out and seeing how
we vibe and work together so that's the
main thing for today and just testing
out how it works but
also i haven't done a voice lesson in
five months
so this is gonna be really good to get
back into that especially since i had to
do some self tapes throughout quarantine
and just
figure out exactly where my voice is and
work on some new stuff first thing for
today
is editing and working on the resume
because i need to get a lot of work done
today
my package has been delivered
so the doc martens were a birthday
present for my parents because i've been
wanting doc martens for a really long
time so i really like wearing combat
boots my parents got me a pair that they
sent
over to me for my birthday that was not
my favorite
look it was a little bit too short for
my taste so me and my mom we looked
online and we found these these actually
are the
vegan version of the shoe just because i
really like the color the vegan thing is
great for the environment as well
but yeah i'm really excited i finally
got them i have the dub and wax to
make them all nice and weather protected
and then to
help stretch out the shoes and i get to
break these guys in so it's about 3 15
right now i took a little break from my
editing and my work to have some lunch
and then i came back to it and while i
was doing that i got an email for a self
tape which is exciting
because self tapes have been on and off
throughout quarantine so this is an
exciting one
so i have two weeks to do it um i just
have to sing a song for them and send in
some dance footage so
i'll be sending them a dance reel and
have to sing a punk rock song so
we'll be filming that hi
hi how are you i'm good how are you
good it's just virtually fading that was
nice to meet you as well
what are you videoing me yeah i'm
vlogging this week
this is terrifying oh god
that was perfect thank you on you want
me to laugh a little
let me try to do that
that's not how i laugh good morning it's
wednesday it's about
9 30 and i just woke up because i
couldn't fall asleep until
2 15 yesterday well 2 15 this morning
definitely getting a late start today
doing a lot of computer work today i
finished the
resume that i need to do so i'm going to
start getting started on the cover
letter today
a lot more editing and then tonight is
popped out so i was thinking my tea this
morning and my hot water
thing broke because the little dispense
thing
broke off completely so we just threw it
in the trash
and we're buying a new one here we are
another day living a dream
oh look at this picture
huh i was right here
it was there
it's about four o'clock now i finished
my resume and my cover letter so send
them over to my supervisor
to get approved and get checked over and
now i'm going down to the
right deck to film filmmaking dances
do
yes who while they were doing some
choreography
scrape their head solid
so
what's going on
so
now
it is thursday it's about 10 30 right
now we just had breakfast and i was
watching some tv
my goal for today is to edit some more
videos for alexis
and to make a lot more progress in
reading my book for the book of the
month
which i have to film that video this
weekend and edit it and upload it by
sunday and then later today i also have
to film tick tocks
and then we're going grocery shopping
this afternoon
carpet
without the strength of the great times
do
so
so
do
it's friday all of my acne is starting
to come in because
i'm about to start my period which is
great i still have this cut
from the other day on my head which is
just ridiculous same kind of plan as
yesterday i'm gonna finish reading my
book today i'm almost done with it i
think i have about like 80 pages left
which is not a lot and editing a lot of
videos i edited eight videos yesterday
which was
a lot but i'm trying to get most of them
done and it's actually going a lot
quicker than i had planned it would
because the way i'm editing and doing
all my other work is that
i'm editing the videos and exporting
them but because my videos take a little
while to
export about 30 minutes i'm taking that
like 30 minute chunk of time to get
other things done
case in point the other day was working
on the resume and the cover letter and
the past two days
is reading my book fridays are also my
drag race day because drag race is a
show that i very much enjoy
so in the mornings for the past few
months i've been watching canada's drag
race that airs on thursdays i watch it
on friday mornings
and then at night i watch whatever
episodes of drag race are on currently
it's the
drag race vegas review show
so
so
all right so i just spent almost an hour
filming tick tocks because i am a bit of
a perfectionist
so if i can't get the choreography right
i have to redo it
and i keep messing up that same bit of
the choreography so i just spent
an hour doing over and over and over
again the three dances that i'm posting
tomorrow
sometimes being a perfectionist is not
the best thing because
i'm exhausted now i'm dancing on
concrete
and my sneakers so my shins really hurt
all right that is all i have for you
guys this week thank you so much for
watching
dftba and i will see you guys next time
you
