The time has come for talk of mice and men.
I don't really know how to start this.
I'm becoming an adult. Like, a real adult. As in finding a real job, having a real relationship, getting a real degree (even if it is in theatre).
I've grown a lot in the past few months. Or year, even, since it's the start of a new one and all. I've had many, many, many, many jobs (as I'm reminded of with all my W-2's coming for tax time). I bought a new car and took out a loan. Got my first credit card. That was weird, lemme tell you.
I'm graudating this spring. A year early, no less. It's both thrilling and terrifying that I have to actually become an adult in five short months. I've started looking for jobs, event planner mostly, but I'm keeping an ear to the entertainment industry to see if anything sparks my interest. I have no idea what i want to do in life. That scares the hell out of me. What did I pay all this money for, if I can't do anything with the goddamn degree?
Anywho, let's recap. Significant things I've done in my life since this time last year:
~Dated Mike. However briefly.
~Started working at CorrPros. As much of a joke I think it is now, it has been a very, very significant part of my life the past year. It's been a major source of income, first and foremost. It helped me discover and hone previously unknown secretarial and office managing skills, among other things. It lead to a sordid affair with a married man. It lead to several other jobs and opportunities. And it helped me understand a little more about the industry I hope to become involved in sometime in the future: wedding planning.
~Bought a car. Have a large loan out in my name.
~Designed my first non-CRT show, however amateur it may have been.
~Designed my first CRT show, my little D-series that I was semi-proud of.
~Began working at Mohegan Sun, which will hopefully open the door for many more opportunities. It also lead to my next point.
~Met Chris. More about him later.
~Bought a MacBook.
~Got a new roommate.
~Began teaching high school. Learned that I don't enjoy teaching and I'm not organized enough for it.
I guess that's a pretty comprehensive list. That's a lot of pretty significant events in one year. For me, anyway, other people may or may not agree.
More on Chris. I like him. I may even love him. We met at Mohegan over the summer, but we didn't start dating until November after he broke up with his girlfriend and I put my foot down on the married guy situation and ended it. We meshed really well together. We both were goofy and silly and loved to laugh and be affectionate and spend time together. I love that he lets me be me.
You know what? I suddenly lost the energy for this entry. It was supposed to be some big long thing about my insecurities with my relationship with Chris, but I don't have the heart or the presence of mind to write it out. Perhaps some other time.
