| My life just got dealt an exciting opportunity.
About two weeks ago, a St. Mary's Alum emailed a theater professor of mine saying that there was a position open at the Miller Theater at Columbia University. The Alum, Brenna, asked if there was anyone my professor thought would be interested in the position and who would be a good fit. I got forwarded the email, so, I of course instantly applied because the position has an insanely awesome salary with benefits and I could live and work in NYC, the center of the theater world.
I emailed today to follow up on my resume submission, and then, a few hours later, I got a call inviting me up next week for an interview! The interview is on Tuesday - I work Monday and Wednesday, so I'm trying to figure out my travel plans at the moment.
This is the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me. It's for a Production Coordinator position, which, simply put, is a blend of the stage managing and theater teching work that I've been doing. It's crazy to think about working for a theater in NYC, let alone a theater at an Ivy League!
All I can think about is what a life style change it would be to live and work in NYC - but I think it's exactly the opportunity that I've been waiting for at this stage in my life. A chance to move somewhere, where I can support myself, and really see who I am as a young adult.
Upper West Side, cya next week! =D | | |
| Sitting down with the guitar and fleshing out some musical melodies and playing around with lyrics and trying to write something that is meaningful for the first time in years.
Feels pretty good. Some samples:
Light one more cigarette
We're gonna be awhile
Why else would we still be here
Smoking and drinking cheap beer?
I know it's bad for me
It's gonna be my death
I guess I'd rather go out
With good liquor on my breath
Smoking and drinking cheap beer. | | |
| Got my college diploma today. Oh yeaaaaaaaaaaaa.

| I'm feeling pretty happy.
Lunch with good old friends - always laughing. Always interesting to hear what everyone is up to. It's hard to be away from friends for such long periods of time, but it's nice that with different lives we all have so much to talk about and there's so much interesting conversation.
After lunch today, got a call from Music & Arts in Timonium offering me a part time job. 15-25 hours a week, with a possibility of going to full-time once I get done my internship in Fells Point. (I'm stage managing a show at the Fells Point Corner Theater. Goes up third weekend in February and runs 3 weekends - not sure the cost, and if it looks good I'll let everyone know where it is. We could always hit up the bars after the show!) 15-25 hours is probably all I need right now on top of this internship - enough to pay for gas and start saving up for loans that will kick in in a few months. I am still hired part-time at Harford Community College - and when they email me about available hours, hopefully I'll be able to bring in some extra cash.
Anyway, I'm feeling pretty good. I feel pretty great. Lots of things I want to say but I'm not too sure how to say them. Feelings of friendship and memories and newness and mourning and a bunch of emotion.
Done undergrad. I was pretty sad leaving the River last week, but it's better now. I like the idea of stability at Music & Arts. I don't want to do a desk job and this is definitely not a desk job. It's high action retail dealing with stuff that I have a strong passion about. The idea of working with this for a while...that actually feelings so appealing at the moment. More so than grad school? Trying not to lose that academic fever I had at the end of the semester, but the idea of stability and getting my life together sounds too appealing instead of moving again so soon. I'm sick of moving.
Christmas is two days away! Had a very small budget because of low paying job, but did okay. Spread it out over the course of a month which definitely helped alleviate things. Love Christmas. May be a small Christmas on my end, but it's a good time of year for me.
Anyway, enough updating. I could talk directly and indirectly about many things in my life, but I think I'll just let it be.
Cheers!

| Money is terrible.
I just want to go back to England, very badly. But, any money I use to do that would better be spent on Student Loans.
Le sigh.
Gonna figure out a way to do this.
