Fake it 'till you Make it

I’ve been having difficulties with my master thesis. Every time people have asked me about how it’s going, I’ve told them that it’s hard and I’m struggling.

I’ve been complaining about my master thesis so much lately that even I am getting tired of hearing about it.

No more talk of me being tired. No more ‘woe me, life is hard’-shit.

I am going to fake it until I make it.

And believe me I’m going to make it.

Hand-in is in 71 days, so let’s get down to business.

I’m writing a case-study about hitREcord.org

hitRECord is an open collaborative production company that has produced several short films, books, posters, t-shirts, etc. It is directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and I think the mention of his name, merits a picture of him.

 
I have a folder in my thesis project called motivation, which is filled with pictures of JGL. Yeah. Don’t judge me)

hitRECord is currently producing a TV-show to be aired on Pivot, a new cable network, in the spring of 2014, and from what I can gather, they are on track to deliver eight episodes as promised.

Showing their content on a cable network is bound expose hitRECord to a new audience and to attract more users to their website. I’m curious as to whether they have the organizational, managerial, and technical infrastructure in place to handle this expected growth.

The hitRECord website already has 200.000 users, so they’re not a small organization – this is not a case-study of how to go from a small entrepreneurial company and onto the next level. This is a case-study of how to transform a thriving business into a noticeable player in the ‘major league’ of Hollywood movie production.

I could go on but I’m finishing up a section of my theoretical foundation.

I will talk to you later.

Blurred Life



Sometimes I think about how others live their lives.

A glance at my Facebook feed tells me they’re either getting drunk, getting married, or having kids.

But do they all get up in the morning and want to do whatever it is they’re doing?

I feel like the days of my life is blurring together. There’s work. There’s studying. There’s the occasional beer or coffee with a friend. And there is sleep. In between that I try to squeeze in some exercise and if I’m really lucky an episode of Attack on Titan or Breaking Bad.

But like, that’s my life. That is how my time is spent.

I don’t know. It feels kind of empty.

Maybe it will get better once I no longer have school.

I think I’m just tired. 


Next post will be better. I just missed posting on this blog.
