Why not?
It's no secret that I haven't blogged in a really long time. Like, 2-3 months long. Why? Well, I had the time to write, but didn't feel inspired to write anything.
But tonight, I feel like I should say something. Tomorrow is my All-University Graduation, and while I really already graduated in December and already have my diploma in my hot little hands (lie: it was sent to my mom's house, and I haven't seen it yet since I haven't been there in a while), it still feels like the end of an era, or at least something important. It didn't hit me until now, having this ridiculous purple tent of a gown and cap hanging up in my room, that I am a graduate. A real person. An adult.
The fact that I'm doing this again on Saturday for Tisch ruins it a little bit, but tomorrow is the Yankee Stadium ceremony. It seems less important to me because more of my family is coming to the Tisch graduation.
And right now, I can't sleep. I don't think it's excitement; I think it's having slept late the past couple days. But I am excited a little now, more than I thought I would be.
So what have I been doing with myself as a pre-ceremony post-grad? I was interning at a post house, they offered me a job a month ago and started training me for it, and last week they pulled the plug and told me that, no, they were not offering me the job. This came as a huge shock to me and was tremendously disappointing. I was upset all week. It wasn't that I did anything wrong; they "couldn't afford to make new hires." So now I'm royally screwed and trying to find a job.
I did a little bit of part time work transcribing for a reality show, so I did wind up with a few bucks in my pocket despite interning for nothing. I edited a documentary about South Africa which turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself. I've been hanging out with Dan a lot, so I guess I've been a little MIA to my friends. Sorry.
Maybe I do need to start blogging again. These past couple months are a blur. I think I should start opinion-blogging instead of rambling about my day, or at least make it a healthy dose of both. If I don't have some kind of creative release, I'm gonna keep playing The Sims 2 for hours at a time, even if it crashes on me every 2 seconds (grr!).
So that's it for now. I have a face mask on to help my skin for tomorrow, and it's hard as a rock, so I should probably wash that off now, not to mention go to bed so I can wake up in a couple hours and take the train to the boogie down Bronx and get my graduation on. Booyah!
