I ive your live in the lap of luxury next semester on the L.A. pro- gram. Lavishly furnished Oak- wood apartments ease you into the West Coast style. Your apartment comes com- plete with pseudo-oak bookcases, twin beds and teal green wall-to-wall carpet- ing. Within the complex there are swim- ming pools, jacuzzis, weight rooms, game rooms, and security underground park- ing. (My car has only been broken into once). Located on the corner of Vermont and 3rd Street, this mid-Wiltshire area is a multi-ethnic environment. One must be self-motivated to succeed on the Emerson - Los Angeles internship program. Internship sites are exciting and varied. Tri-Star Pictures, Los Angeles Magazine, and Paramount Pictures are just a few corporations that ‘house’ our students. As in any city, internships are what you make of them. They have prov- en to be a great outlet for learning, experi- ence, contacts, and future job opportuni- ties. Most of us worked 2-4 days per week, allowing plenty of time for fun and games. Before I mention the late-night parties in the jacuzzi or the L.A. nightlife, I should say a bit about the classes. Special Top- ics in Writing for T.V. and Film is by far one of the most stimulating, motivating classes I have taken. Each week a guest speaker is arranged to lecture in our class and ultimately we choose one of them to work with individually to complete a final project. Well, we have covered the residential, professional, and personal aspects of L.A. life. What’s left? Oh yes, I forgot to mention the beaches. Venice, Santa Mon- ica, Manhattan, Paradise Cove. Malibu, which one should I choose? I’m going to catch some rays now before the tempera- ture drops to a cool 80, ciao. By Sarah Rosenberg Photos by Joelle Meehan 13
