so much but so little
so five weeks since my last update, funny it doesn't feel like its been that long.
well last time i posted, jess had just been up for our anniversary and was heading home.
i enjoyed the rest of my feb. break and just kind of hung out with some of my friends doing nothing. school started back up and so did rehearsals for the show i'm in that opens in april. its called The Distance From Here and its a dark one. i love this play, but goddamn it does get under your skin and make you remember shit best left forgotten. Rehearsals have been going well and the play is really coming together. We open april 10 and close on the 12th. i'll let y'all know when tickets are availible and for how much.
school is overall going well. i'm doing well in my classes and i just found out that they've changed the requirements for a theater major at usm so i might be able to get out in 4 years after all. i'll probably end up taking some summer classes and a couple of winter courses this year to make sure i'm caught up on my core requirements and what not. i also am entertaining the idea of going to the Reader's Theater workshop which is in toronto this year (sadly no London this time around). I've also been chatting with my buddy Moberg about going to Africa with him in August and doing voluneteer work in Kenya for a few weeks. The trip is relativly cheap and it would be good to do some traveling. It's always been my way of thinking that Africa is a bad place (not the people per se but the continent itself) and that everything there will kill you if given the chance. also they have some HUGE spiders there, but the more i think about it the more i feel like i should go. if i can do something over there that makes life a little easier for anyone, then why the hell shouldnt i. im gonna try and haggle to see if i can get some sort of credit over there if i keep a journal or something. who knows?
life is life. it goes on. still in a crisis about money, no job=no money (surprising isn't it?). bounced my rent check this month and then had to borrow 200 bucks from my mom to cover for it. now i'm worried that the rent check i just resent will bounce too so i'm scrambling to make sure it doesnt. i dont want to even think about where april's rent is going to come from. HOWEVER i did just get an email back about a job that sounds pretty promising. i'm gunning for a baggage porter posistion at Concord Coach Lines, the bus station up the street from my house. it would only be weekends (which im cool with) but the payrate is 10/hour and it seems like pretty easy work. if i can pull in over a hundred a week i'll be set. also school is almost over so once i'm done with my show i'll have some more time open. i really hope i get this job and can start making money soon.
in other life news, my mom is getting married. well not "married" married but her and her boyfriend want to be unoffically married. they also asked me to do it for them. as a pagan i can do a handtying ceremony which seems to be what they want. i'll probably make up a certificate and write a nice little speech. they're thinking sometime in april, probably closer to my birthday and we'll do a joint celebration.
which reminds me: my birthday is fast approacing (well maybe not fast but its coming up). 29 days left of being 21. its weird thinking that i've been 21 for almost a year now. it always seemed like it was an age that was so far away.
who wants to do something on my birthday? jess can't be up so the plan right now is probably sitting at home doing nothing.
been talking to liz (my godmother) and she wants me to get a car at some point soon. as much as i'd like a car i'm in no financial shape to own one. couldnt afford anything for it if i did have one. having a car would open up job opportunities for me as well.
just a little over a month and a half til school's done. summer plans are probably going to involve working my ass off and trying to find another place to move into once my lease is up.
thats all for now faithful readers.
