First, before I dive in to my news, I just have to address the featured picture. I didn’t have any photogs that would visually capture the essence of this post so I panicked and put a picture of my cat laying on my backpack as the picture…..#futurecatlady ?
Two posts ago I was recently graduated, moved back home with my mumma, and unemployed. I said that I would let you know if that status changed.
Well…
YA GIRL’S FINALLY EMPLOYED!!!!! (still recently graduated and living with mumma).
After three months of job hunting, writing cover letters, sending emails, and doing interviews, I can now say that I hold the titles of:
Communications coordinator at Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church
This job is brand-spanking-new. As in I am the first person for the job. With this job I, and a team that I will assemble, will be managing the internal and external communications of the church. This will include managing the website, overseeing all social media platforms, develop branding standards, etc. I’m excited to see what projects and events that I’ll get to be involved with! Through this job, I’ll get to use my video and photography skills to help spread God’s message and His love, which is wonderfullllllll!
Everyone here is so nice and welcoming. On the first day, there was a card and vase full of flowers on my desk (yes, I have a cute like office space that I share with another staff member).
Straight after I work the church, I head downtown and work as a…
Production Assistant at Keloland News
This is very similar to the internship I did with KSFY (are they my sworn enemy now???). I edit video clips that are used as visuals for the newscasts. But I also have to teleprompt…..which is kind of scary. I’ll eventually get used to it, but for now the machine/dial thing is my sworn enemy!
Tonight (9.21.17) was my first night by myself (the past three days I was training with another PA) and boy, right from the beginning, it was interesting. But! I made it out alive, barely, but still alive.
Aud: ¾ teleprompter: ¼
Going from nothing to full speed ahead is definitely tiring, but I WILL PREVAIL!!!!
UPDATE (10.10.17): this post was written like 15 years ago and I’ve just been lazy and haven’t posted it yet. But since I’ve written this post, it will be almost 1 month since I’ve started both jobs.
I’m doing some creative stuff at the church
*insert happy dance here*
I just finished creating a video highlighting the church’s new preschool and am currently working on some branding stuffs!
At Kelo, I think it’s safe to say that I HAVE CONQUERED THE TELEPROMPTER! I’m a whiz at it now (ok, I may be over exaggerating a bit). But get this, on my second day working by myself I had to start training a new PA! Crazy, right?
In my last post I said that I would let you know when I get a job. Well…I’m still unemployed (womp womp). But the interviews are starting to come in, so that’s good!
Plus, this post isn’t intended to be a life update.
I have started to take photography more seriously and wanted to show you all some of my favorites that I have taken within the past year or so! These are all little snippets from photog shoots or just everyday random shots that I took.
Embasan (v).
The second picture was actually used for my college’s student led literature magazine! So my first published work!

Random shots
Portrait practice
If you like what you see, feel free to hit me up for a session!
I’m in the beginning stages of starting my own video + photo business! How exciting! Let the dream live on!
Four years later and I have finally graduated from college (5.28.17). It was a bittersweet day: getting my degree but saying goodbye to many great friends.
*note: this isn’t going to be some sappy post because the feels haven’t hit me yet.*
Followed up by a great Senior Week, graduation day was windy. I was the only grad whose cap flew off their heads and had to be chased down the ramp before shaking Becky B’s hand. I was the only grad who didn’t wear their (cool) cap across the stage. Oh well. I still got my bachelor’s degree in communication studies. Mems.
It still hasn’t hit me that I’m a college graduate. It feels like I’m just on a school break, ready to go back to the hill in a few days. Nope!
Unpacking is not fun. I’ll say it again for the people in the back: UNPACKING IS NOT FUN. During this time of taking everything out of boxes, I have discovered that I have way too many clothes and not enough space to put them all in. I have also spent many hours just staring at everything that I’ve taken out of their box and haphazardly placed across my room, hoping that they’d magically find their place to go.
…
So what next?
Well, I’ll finish unpacking then clean my room (mom’s request) and then I’ll start job hunting…yay….
Yup. You read right. Dub City isn’t real. It’s not actually a city, just a figment of our imagination. It’s all a lie*.
My spring break just started and I decided that it would be a grand time to go out and visit one of my sisters** Hope, whom I haven’t seen in 3 years. So I hopped on a plane and spent the weekend out in the bay area.
*Hit em with the highlight reel*
Friday
I take a plane from SF (Sioux Falls) to Denver, then Denver to San Francisco. The catch, both flights ended up being delayed over an hour so I spent about a good 2 hours in the FSD airport doing exactly nothing…
I am finally reunited with my Hopey!
Saturday
The first thing we do is of course go to the original Boudin bakery location (They’re famous for their sourdough bread. This is the bread that B-Ritz and I bought as souvenirs at Disneyland in the summer….)
I bought a loaf and ate it sporadically throughout the day. Gotta love those carbs!
We saw the wonderful Golden Gate Bridge…twice (this is where the lies begin).
My trusty tour guide guided us on the wrong bus out, so we ended up going back to the bridge for us to get on the right bus.
Fisherman’s Warf was pretty neat.
We went to the Ghirardelli chocolate factory
I had In-N-Out for the first time
We trekked awhile to these snazzy piano stairs that Hope was raving about
I felt pretty basic.
Chinatown!
Of course we could not not go…
We got in touch with our Asian-ness
We visited the factory where the very first fortune cookie was made
I bought some delicious butterfly cookies
Japantown
I should’ve kept tally on how many times I said “I can’t” (it was too many times). Literally I wanted everything there.
I bought these ice cream balls infused with dry ice called Dragon’s Breath. Trust me, it’s harder than it looks to look cool eating those things while trying to get the dry ice to come out of your nose and mouth….
We literally stared at theses cute bento boxes outside of a store because the store owner was away for a fe minutes. We were probably there for a good 10 minutes when we decided that we looked creepy and went to this amazing bookstore.
Which by the way I did buy a bento box. It’s in the shape of a lucky cat. The store owner and I literally had a bowing match. Once he said “arigato” we literally exchanged bows until I was out of the store. What a cute old man!
Yes, said bookstore. Much books, many “I can’ts.”
Asian grocery stores are pretty cool.
Shabu shabu (Japanese hot pot)
We went to Hope’s boyfriend’s place where I met some of their friend, who are pretty cool.
We had shabu shabu literally there was a moment where all 5 of us were about to fall asleep because our tummies were so full and satisfied. 12/10 would recommend.
Met some cute doggos (Ralph and Moose, but I took initiative and renamed them doggo no. 1 and doggo no. 2)
Sunday
We saw the cool painted ladies houses
When you realize that the Full House house is on a different street.
We walked down Haight Street. This is where the hippy movement was groovin
Of course we had to stop into Amoeba Records
We went to the bathroom in a Whole Foods; that was pretty cool I guess…?
We stopped in a very cool arcade where there were a bajillion (I kid you not) pinball machines. I tried my hand at the Lord of the Rings one and some Gopher one. I did aight.
We were going to eat at this Thai restaurant off of Haight street, but it’s only open for dinner…. ( I should’ve tallied all of the lies that Hope fed me this weekend)
Not to fret, I did get to eat my chicken pad thai somewhere else and it was delicious.
Hope took me to see two separate tiled stairs. Those were cool to see, not to take up and down….
These are the titled steps, right?
Jk, these are 1/2 of the steps.
We had dinner at The Progress with Hope’s boyfriend, his friend Scott’s girlfriend and fam. It was fancy, I mean the bathroom walls were covered in pink glitter…
I tried fancy food like oyster and octopus. I was reminded just how much of a picky eater I am…
We ended the night with good old Mulan II (I swear I wasn’t crying at the bridge scene, you were crying…)
Monday
We ate brekky on Haight street
We both had the berrylicious crepe (It was berry licious… see what I did there!)
Just like Britta, Hope knows right when to take the best photos of me..
I jumped back on some planes back home. Womp Womp.
Many mems (and lies) were made. It was wonderful to see Hope and can’t wait to see her again, maybe in my SF! ❤
Ok, J-term was great and all but guess what, AFTER 7 MONTHS I GOT TO SEE MADDIE (my Hero™ ). It was amazing. We met up in Chicago and my friend from high school, Nichole, graciously let us crash at her place.
Hit ‘em with the highlight reel!
Friday (I landed in the Windy city)
After a bit of confusion, I navigated my way through the O’Hare airport to be greeted by Mads holding a red panda “sign”
It took about 15-20 minutes to find the parking lot where she parked her car
We sat in said car looking up possible Chinese restaurants to eat at for a good 15 minutes, then finally ended up deciding on Panda Express…womp womp
We literally parked on a highway because Mads forgot that her wallet and bag of coins were in her glove compartment (we were coming to a toll) and that it was locked…. So obviously she had to turn off her car to use her keys to open the glove compartment
We also stopped in the middle of an intersection because we were in the wrong lane and needed to turn left. Mads was deciding what to do; I finally told her to just go straight and that we could turn around
We arrive at said Panda Express only to walk in, then decide that we were going to eat at the Culvers next door.
Saturday
STAN’S DONUTS
I had a butterfinger pocket. It was yum.
Since it was the start of the Chinese New Year/Lunar New Year, we decided to go to Chinatown, only to be disappointed of the lack of décor (apparently they are celebrating next week).
We had a delicious meal at Joy Yee
Now the real reason why Mads and I met up, TWENTY ONE PILOTS CONCERT HOO-RAH!
Oh boy, it was magical. We danced, we sang, we were surprised.
Sunday
I was awaken by a text from Nichole (she was at work). She forgot some cookies in her freezer and asked if we could deliver them to the church. So in our jammies, Mads and I drove to the church with 3 bags of cookies. According to CHole, we were the MVPS….
On the way back to her apartment, Mads was flipping through the radio station and Africa by Toto was playing. We jammed out.
We explored the Museum of Contemporary Art
Mads had never had deep-dish pizza, and obviously since we were in Chi-town, she had to try it out (and no, I didn’t have any; I had buttered noodles and chicken).
There was a very awkward exchange, trying to figure out what appetizer we should get, but it’s all good!
And of course, we had to go to Millennium Park to see the Bean
Am I doing this Leaning Tower of Pisa thing right?
Shakeshack shakes for the win!
Once we got back to niCHole’s apartment, we watched some Community and then ended up taking a billion pictures
We closed the fun-filled weekend with some card playing and watched The Emperor’s New Groove
Side-note: We were going to eat at The Max, a pop-up restaurant paying homage to The Max from Saved by the Bell, but it was crazy expensive to eat there (curse you service fee and 10% tax)!
It was such a fun weekend and I’m so glad that I got to see Mads and Nichole. And it was a wonderful ending to my J-term before my last semester at GAC. Hopefully I’ll be able to see each of them again, soon!
What do woodworking, a dog named Sullivan, and Elmo all have in common? That’s practically what my January consisted of. As you know from my previous post, I was tackling two internships—Woodworker’s Journal/Rockler and Freestyle Productions—and now J-term has come to an end. Both internships were great experiences and I was able to do many different things:
Woodworker’s Journal/Rockler
Take videos off of Youtube and upload them to Vimeo, then embed the correct coding into the corresponding webpage
Re-edit past videos
Help assist in multiple video shoots
Edit 2 “Make and Take” videos
Edit a Murphy bed video
Start sorting through and creating a rough draft of a steam bending video
Paint 7 large panels and 2 walls
Create sandbags
Freestyle Productions
Edit a short video on this year’s MN state fair for practice
Create a Powerpoint for someone who was being inducted into the MN State Fair Hall of Fame (and yes, I’m not making that up, there actually is a state fair HOF)
Edit a short video for the 2016 ILEA conference
Pet Sullivan the dog
In-between all of that fun, every night I had my two hours of Hunter time. This mostly consisted of reading the same books over again, flipping wooden pancakes, and watching the joys of young parenting. Erica and John joked that I wasn’t really living with them for my two internships, but to do research on young parents. I have witnessed Hunter’s first discipline, the struggles of trying to get him to eat (followed by Erica Googling “how to get your child to eat”), Erica and John rapping the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” theme song while giving Hunter his dinner, etc. I also have several of Hunter’s books memorized (I’m looking at you “Bubbles, Bubbles” and “Let’s go Potty, Elmo”) and now I know the true way to pronounce my name: Ah-la.
This fedora makes me -20% cooler and the backwards firefighter helmet makes him 100% cooler.
Side-note: this month has been the most times I have ever, and will ever wear a fedora….
It was a great January, but it had an ever greater ending…..which you’ll have to read about in my next blog post!
*Can I just point out that Britta takes the most flattering and accurate pictures of me….I know, I do it to myself. She probably has a whole file of pictures of me that she can use as blackmail. Exhibit A: this wonderful cover picture.*
Last time I wrote a blog post it was for a class assignment and grade…(boo). But alas, I am here to once again inform you about my life. My first semester of senior year is complete. Done-zo. Let’s take a moment and reflect on the past three months and walk down memory lane, shall we?
Fall semester was full of :
Laughter
Trust me, I laugh at the stupidest things. Ask Britta or Noah. I literally laughed for a good 10 minutes over something that happened sophomore year until my stomach hurt. Both Noah and B-Ritz were not amused.
Laughing is good. Do it often.
Visual representation of the two people who make me laugh the most.
Clearly we have a love-love relationship.
Noah and I are soooooo photogenic. Can’t you tell?
Stress (this included many cry breaks)
This semester I took the hardest class of my life, ever: Media, Culture, Power. I thought was going to be the death of me, but somehow I survived.
I blame it on all of the cultural theories I had to know. I mean who has heard of Althusserian theory before? No one.
Dance
I was fortunate to be cast in Shared Space this fall. I was able to continue my love for dance through this student-led showing. The piece that I was in, dealt with anxiety. (My mom pointed out that the previous year I danced in a piece that was about grief and the year before that mental illness. No happy pieces…). Sadly, it was my very last time performing. But….this leads to my next bullet point!
New friends
I’ve met so many rad people that willingly befriended me. I became uber close to the people in my dance group and miss seeing their faces twice a week (although I’m sure they don’t miss my hoodrat shenanigans during practice). Through them I met more cool people who also willingly decided to befriend me! The power of networking!
I feel sorry for these people who had to put up with me and my oddball personality during practice….
Good-byes
With new friends comes saying good-bye to old ones. Two of my friends (you know who you are) decided to be butts and graduate at the semester. But I wish them all the best!
Netflix and Plex
Boy, the amount of new (and old) shows and movies I have watched this semester…. And no, I don’t just sit in my bed all day and watch movies and tv; sometimes I’ll move to the couch! I’ll give ya a little taste of what I have binge watched
Gravity Falls
Twin Peaks
Playful Kiss
The Blacklist
Atlanta
Community (but I’m on, like my 5th time watching the series)
Carrie
2001: A Space Odyssey
Blow Up
STRANGER THINGS (again)
The Fall
Nikita (again)
As you can see this semester was something. Also, how cool was it that I got to to write two papers about things that I love, TV/film. I was able to analyze a scene from Stranger Things and write about the implications behind the editing, cinematography, etc. I also got to write about whitewashing in Hollywood films. I specifically looked at the effects of the upcoming remake of Ghost in the Shell (boo ScarJo).
*secretly geeks out about being able to write about cool stuff like that*
Transition sentence.
J-term is right around the corner (like it literally starts in two days) and sadly I’m not going on any cool study abroad trips or getting prepared to go spend the next 4.5 months in Australia (I wish). Instead, wait for it…I’m doing not one, but two internships in the good old state of Minnesota!
I will be doing a video production paid internships with Woodworker’s Journal (and no, I know nothing about woodworking). They are based in Medina and I will most likely be helping out with shooting and editing new videos, re-editing older ones, and working on their Youtube page. My wonderful boss in the Marketing and Comunication office at GAC, Steph, set it all up for me!
The other internship is with Freestyle Productions. This company is located in Golden Valley, and like 5 minutes from the cool antique shop that I like! I will most likely be working with their editor on the two projects that they are currently working on.
As you can see, I’m preparing for the “real world” with all of these internships and starting to look at jobs and whatnot….Don’t ask me where I want to find a job, specifics about my future, etc. because I don’t know. I know mom, I’m working on it!
Well, this has been fun. Tune in for the next episode of Aud’s life update blog post. Live long and prosper. Boo-yah. Oh yeah, I cut my uber long hair.
Smiling is hard so sometimes you just have to mean mug it.
P.S. If you still haven’t seen Stranger Things, I will personally sit down with you and watch the whole series with you.
A person considered to be socially awkward, boring, unstylish, etc.
An intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit.
I know, clichéd to start with a dictionary definition (courtesy of dictionary.com), but it gets a point across. As a society it has been engrained into our minds that “nerds” are the weirdos who don’t have many friends and play Dungeons & Dragons on the weekends. We don’t like to label ourselves as nerds, as this stigma attaches to us and will automatically be demoted on the social ladder. Yet we surround ourselves with nerd culture everyday through TV shows and movies.
After reading “Why the Geek Community Hates ‘The Big Bang Theory” it got me thinking about nerd culture and how the media has shaped it. The article suggests that this specific phenomenon is only for a select group of people: nerds. The Big Bang Theory doesn’t portray authentic nerd culture. It makes nerds the butt of their jokes and caters the show to the mainstream, so much to the point where the characters have to explain their jokes in order for the general audience to get them.
via “Why the Geek Community Hates ‘The Big Bang Theory”
But it seems like over the past few years the general audience has welcomed nerd culture with open arms. I argue that there has been a shift of nerd culture, from a more negative stance to a more positive, upsurge.
Urkel and suspenders and Firefly, oh my!
When you hear the word nerd, you automatically think of an image of a skinny, socially awkward kid who seems extremely intelligent. Society has created this binary of smart or dumb, nerd or jock. You can’t be both. The media—more specifically studio executives—have created these images and mannerisms of what a nerd should be. This idea of culturalism has long shaped our ideas of the “nerd.”
According to blogger Christine Quail, “The nerd is culturally placed in contrast with a more athletic, socially skilled, sexually aware individual—the cool kid or jock, who demonstrates a hegemonic heterosexual masculinity.” I feel like this negative representation really took off during the 80s and 90s. For example, the 90s sitcom Family Matters is probably best known for the nerdy character of Steve Urkel.
Image via octavarius.com
He is the epitome of nerd. He’s the annoying neighbor who can never get the pretty girl (Laura) and is socially awkward. He’s mainly there as a character for comedic relief.
In the case of the television show Firefly, it was canceled after one season. The reason: ratings. But the 2002 show was pitted to be a failure before it actually aired thanks to its TV network Fox. According to the show’s producer Chris Buchanan, “Instead of advertising “Firefly” as a space western or a gritty sci-fi show, the promotional campaign suggested that it was a wacky genre comedy— “the most twisted new show on television.” Fox didn’t take the show seriously, which could have reflected the feeling towards nerd culture of the time. Science fiction and nerd culture wasn’t seen to be something of the mainstream. Considering the cult following and multiple TV shows references after its cancellation, it seems like audiences agree that the show was cut too short and if given the chance, it would have become successful.
The rise of the nerd.
I don’t know what changed, but it seems like in today’s society being nerdy is considered cool. Everyone and their mother wishes that they could go to Comic-con or you can’t have a conversation without someone mentioning Netflix’s summer success, Stranger Things (I know I’m guilty of doing that). Nerd culture has become mainstream.
Shows like Community, Futurama, and Jessica Jones are challenging the ways in which we look at science fiction and nerd culture. Out with the Urkel looking characters and in with the more good-looking, yet still socially inept characters. Let’s look at the show Community (which seems to rivals against The Big Bang Theory in terms of fans siding on which show better depicts nerd culture). Many bloggers and Reddit users have argued that The Big Bang Theory is a show that centers its jokes about nerds. And although it continues to profit greatly, many people don’t like the show (i.e. the overuse of laugh track and subtle rape jokes). Community on the other hand (a personal favorite of mine, #sixseasonsandamovie) bases its jokes for nerds. Some jokes will go over the audience’s heads if they don’t know the original context to which the joke is being referenced to. Community is also special in the sense that it’s meta. The show spoofs different aspects of pop culture and TV (also known as pastiche).
And it’s not just TV shows. Movies based off of comic books are very popular in today’s society. Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012 and since then has released Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015 (which became the highest grossing film in North America, raking in $764.4 million) and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is set to be released this December. And don’t get me started with Marvel Studios. They just released Doctor Stranger and are set to produce Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2, Spider-Man: Homecoming,Avengers: Infinity War, and Captain Marvel (just to name a few) within the next 4 years. Nerd culture is finding a permanent home on the silver screen and TV screen.
Nerds rule and jocks drool?
It seems that contrary to what “Why the Geek Community Hates ‘The Big Bang Theory” is trying to argue, nerd culture isn’t just for a select community. And yes, I would agree that The Big Bang Theory isn’t funny and treats nerd culture poorly, but there are a plethora of other TV shows and films that are positively placing nerds in the spotlight. I don’t think it would be right for me to say that as a culture we’re slowly moving from the traditional stereotype of nerds that was created by a bunch of old, white studio. I do think that we are becoming more accepting of nerd culture and that’s pretty rad. Power to the nerds!

If you’re reading this, it’s Sunday afternoon and I just got done packing my car. Oh yeah, I made it back to SoDak. My Aussie/Cali adventures have come to an end 😥 but tomorrow a new journey starts: senior year of college….
I’m sure you’re all wondering what my schedule is like and whatnot, so here it is:
Media, Culture, Power
Gender and Sports
Film Art and History
Relaxation
Guitar lessons
Next time you see me, I’ll be able to shred it to “Cliffs of Dover” on an actual guitar instead of my guitar hero guitar….
Update no. 2: I FINALLY got to see US Bank Stadium!!!!!!! And please don’t bring up Bridgewater….I don’t want to be reminded…. 😥
Well, just wanted to inform you all that I made it back. Only 3 weeks at home, but hey…it was better than the original plan of 1 week (my mom was very happy for me to be home)!
What do having a one person sit-in protest, hitting my head (hard) on a concrete shelf, and saying hi and waving at John Stamos have in common? They all happened when my fabulous roommate Britta came to visit me last weekend!
Since I don’t want to bore you with every little detail that went down, I’ll give you the highlights:
Friday
Finally reuniting after 8 months in the hotel lobby at 12:30am
Saturday
Only getting 3 hours of sleep when we were going to Disneyland the next day, because there was some serious catching up to do!
Getting blurry Donald Duck photos (never ask a 14 year old to take your picture for you)
Squealing with joy when we met Chewbacca
Blaming each other when Kylo Ren asked who was stowing a fugitive droid with them
Going on Tower of Terror…twice
Also accidentally telling B-Ritz that the photo happens a the very last drop…
Having a one person sit-in protest outside of the ride because TOWER OF TERROR WILL SOON BE TORN DOWN TO MAKE WAY FOR A GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY RIDE
As you can see, I’m a bit upset…
Going through the sourdough bread factory twice, because who doesn’t love free samples?
Buying a loaf of said sourdough bread
Such a typical Britta/Aud move buying bread
Sunday
Reuniting with my beloved PLL set
I’ve got some major catching up to do
Getting to go on the Ellen stage and stand on her star marker for where she stands when giving her monologue
Seeing the sound stage for The Big Bang Theory
Tour guide driving by the sound stage where Friends shot seasons 2-10 (and now is called the Friends stage) then continues to say that Full House shot there before Friends and out of no where John Stamos stops right outside the door and agrees with the guide.
Britta and I were in bit of some shock that neither of us got a picture of him, but did wave and say hi when he asked how we all were doing (Fuller House was shooting that day)
Getting to ride the Batpod
Sitting on the Central Perk couch
Meeting up with our good friend Nolan who also going to GAC to see Suicide Squad and then have a nice dinner.
Britta and I went into the movie with our expectations low, like buried 6ft under. So practically our expectations were dead. It wasn’t as bad as some of the reviews, but it was a movie.
Monday
Once again when a friend and I go to Hollywood Blvd to check out the Walk of Fame, a movie premiere is being set up/going on.
When my best friend Lizzy and I were there the end of our senior year, the Monsters University movie premiere was going on. We saw some cool celebs.
This time when Britta and I were down there, they were setting up for the Pete’s Dragon premiere which happened later in the day
Taking the roomie to her very first Thai restaurant (which so happened to be rock-n-roll themed)
My cousin took me there a few weeks ago
Going into Amoeba Music and being in awe of all of the music they had.
Also where I hit my head hard on the bottom part of a concrete shelf
Britta pointed out that from the music/movie lunchboxes that were being sold, the High School Musical one was only $8 while the one next to it was being sold for $400.
Overall it was a very successful weekend, full of more material that Britta can use as blackmail against me and new mems all around.
