the superlong post
i went to hotel vernon's ship room last night for a benifit show. got to see a few bands play, met a bunch of new folks. one the the new folks i met works at the land trust which is located among the worcester publishing offices. i've been taking free bike repair lessons at this program called earn a bike. the guy who runs it is from essex county, nj. he loves worcester and told me he'll never go back.
my internship has been giving me more assignments lately which is good because that means more of my work being published thought it also means coming home late and tired. the editor of worcester magazine is preparing a photo essay for me to work on. worcester business journal had me attend all their last couple staff meetings. i also sprung a good deal with the business journal. i showed the managing editor some of my artwork and she loved it. she wants to look at more of my work to see if some can be used for front covers for special edition issues, hopefully when i leave . we're going to negtiate how much i'll get from each piece she's interested as using as cover art (hopefully she will be).
i've accepted that i'm not going to find work in this town. in fact i stopped looking for work. i can hold out with out work until my lease is up. if i were staying longer i'd continue being paniced. i'm glad i rationed my money when i did because now i'm able to splurge just a little bit. as much as i may have bitched about this town in earlier post i'm gonna miss it. there really is alot to do around here. tons of venues full of good music and people who are into the things i'm into. public transportation is very available, biking through here is fun, especially when idots yell random obscenities at you.
i have great neighbors (including my landlord), if they aren't off beat college students they're offbeat clark professors, we all share food items and hang out together. i hate my neighbors back in jersey, i'm waiting for those pricks to stop being old and just die already. ah worcester...
at the same time i am looking forward to going back to the jerz. i want to finish my last semester at ccm and get my associates already. i want to work and actually make money again (as opposed to watching my bank acount dwindle as i have been since moving to worc.). i do miss being close to new york city (boston just doesn't cut it) closer to andrew and colin and gregg and julieanne. in worcester i pay rent and can't get a job; in jersey i don't pay rent and i do have a job. also my parents just got back from being abroad and i know they have goodies for from relatives.
21 days internship is up
24 days lease is up.
