"I don't want to sell anything,buy anything or process anything as a career..."
So...the "financial services" jobs that I had heard from were just a bunch of crap. I did some research the night before I was supposed to go to a "career overview" session in Connecticut, and it turns out the company trying to get me was Primerica and it's all just a big scam to try and sucker me in/brainwash me to pay money to get liscence to give out "financial advice" and give up info of friends and relatives to try and sucker them in. Good thing I found out the night before, or else it would've sucked. Didn't go to the interview I was supposed to have today with NY Life Insurance. They wanted to interview me for a "financial services" job. I didn't apply to them, and they weren't specific at all in the job description, so I was wary. In the end, I decided not to go, mainly b/c I'd have to schlep all the way across the river to New Windsor for a job I don't feel I'm qualified for. It all felt way shady anyways. I don't know who these people are, or who they think they are dealing with, but I am certainly not stupid enough to fall for their crap. I'm one step ahead of you, corporate scum! So, it's back to job hunting. Hopefully some kind of administrative assistant job in something art/entertainment-related will pop up.
I'm going to do something I never thought I'd end up doing...I'm gonna be a cheerleader. Yes, you read right. I agreed to help my friend Karen organize a cheer team for girls 18 and older. She got a job with the Hudson Valley Cowboys, a local minor-league football team that plays during the summer, as the cheer director and she asked my sister and I to help her run it. It will be like a dance team who also does cheers, so no stunts or gymnastics because they don't have that kind of insurance. I think it should be fun, and we've already started choreographing a dance for auditions. And remember...I'll be a cheerleader for a few months, but I'm a dancer for LIFE!!! I still have no problem whatsoever making fun of cheerleaders. I should totally come in to the auditions and make this speech:
"I am a choreographer. That's what I do. You are cheerleaders. Cheerleaders are dancers who have gone retarded. What you do is a tiny, pathetic subset of dancing. I will attempt to turn your robotic routines into poetry, written with the human body. Follow me, or perish, sweater monkeys." -Sparky Polastri
Here's a list of things I wanna do over the summer:
-see Rent again
-see The Drowsy Chaperone (which just won a bunch of Tony awards)
-go see Goo Goo Dolls and Counting Crows in concert on Aug. 9th at Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center, the site of the 1969 Woodstock Festival...anyone wanna come with?
-buy tix to see the revival of Les Miserables
-lose lots of weight
-gain lots of muscle tone
-get my flexibility back
-clean out my room and redecorate it or move into the downstairs room and make it into my own mini-apartment
-have an awesome pool party and invite all my friends from the city and Bing
-read as many books as I can
-find a job/my life's calling
