I've been doing alot of thinking latley about what I'm going to do with my life, I switched majors in school, I was studying to get my liberal arts degree, but now I'm studying towards a degree in music theory. I'm not good at a whole lot of things and don't have a vast knowledge on most things, but music is one thing that I'm confident in, so I'm goin for it. But after this semester, I'm putting that on hold for a little bit and taking a massage therapy program that I found out in Grand Blanc, it's a four month course and you can get certified if you pass all of the classes. I'm also looking into bartending classes, it's always something that I've been interested in so, I'm gonna pursue that. After I get my certification in both of those, I'm kissing Michigan goodbye for the City of Angels, thats right people, I'm gonna move to California. I talked to my uncle the other day and he told me that if I was did get certified in massage therapy and bartending, then I should have no problems getting a job out there....which is true, if you think about it, how many spas and bars/nightclubs are there in L.A? And I can make a decent living doing one or both of those and once I've saved money and gotten my feet on the ground out there, I can start going to school again. I've been wanting to move to Cali for a while now, but I was having second thoughts because I had a reason to stay in Michigan, but now I don't have a reason, and personally I feel that there really isn't anything left for me here and unless something comes up before I plan on leaving, then I'm gone. I've got my parents and nephews, but I talked to my parents about it and they're supporting me 100% and understand me wanting to leave this place. With me moving to a place that far away, I can get a fresh start, not to mention it's warm all year around so no more freezing cold weather. I'm hoping to be out of Michigan in the next year to year and a half, wish me luck people!
Speaking of change, I might be getting a new job working as a security guard for this company that a friend of mine works for. I'd be making alot more than I am at the theatre, I get to pick my own hours, have benefits and the job's not that hard from what I'm told. I'm still gonna stay at the theatre though and only work one or two days a week. I've been working at the theatre since I was 16 and I'm almost 21, and it's not that I don't like the theatre, I've had some great times there and I met alot of great people, one special person in particular, but I think it's time for me to grow up and start looking towards my future.
Another thing I've decided is that I'm taking a break from the dating scene for a little while. After Lindsey and I broke up, I didn't know what to do with myself, it was really hard going from seeing someone everyday and having that bond to having absolutley nothing. Sure I've gone out on a few dates since then, but nothing's really worked out. I'm a relationship type person, I want to find someone who I can be with for awhile, I hate just having flings with people, it's not me. I've been talking to a friend of Brad's, her name is Krista, and we get along really well, but I don't think that anything's really going to come out of it, at least I made a new friend. I'm just gonna stay single for the time being and hopefully things will work out for me sometime down the road.
