So hopefully by the end of the week things will be looking up and I'll have solid plans. Here's what's going on. So I have an interview tomorrow during my lunch break with The Splinter Group...a small producing company off-Broadway in NYC but I'm not really super gung-ho (is that how you would spell that phrase?) for this one. BUT my boss worked at this place in Massachusetts when she was in college and heard that I had applied and offered to talk to people she knew there about it. WELL turns out they are still looking for a general management intern. SO she offered it to both me and Trevor. Trevor has a few more interviews also and then we'll have to duke it out for the position. I mean, she also said that there is a full time position left here at the ticket office which financially would be the best option because I could make A BUTTLOAD of money for school next year. And it's not that bad of a job...I just need a resume building job and the ticket office is an experience I already have on there. The good things about Williamstown: pretty well-known festival, star-studded (chance to meet celebs?), $200 weekly stipend, I'm pretty sure that they also do room and board, in the middle of no where so i'm not likely to be tempted to spend lots of money. Downsides: it's not new york, middle of no where Massachusetts, May 26-August 31 which means missing my cousin's wedding and coming back real close to the start of school, MIDDLE OF NO WHERE MASSACHUSETTS, and the job kinda sounds like crap office work (answering phones, etc...nothing too exciting and educational). Well that's whats up with me right now. I'll keep you posted.

Tis the start of my summer reading list...although I've already started and it's Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister. I wanted something completely frivolous. I think it's funny that the first thing I wanted to do when classes were done was read...but it's different when it's books you don't HAVE to read for any particular reason except for becoming a better part of the human race.
