It's been a long time
...since I wrote a non-list post.
I think I'm slowly weaning myself off of livejournal. I still check it nearly every day, and read my friends' entries more often than I eat, some days. But I rarely find myself eager to write. I don't know if it's an aversion to opening up and being honest, an aversion to making private thoughts semi-public, bad memories associated with online conversing, or just a general lack of time. For now, I think I'll just leave it as-is. A once in a blue moon sort of thing, for those interested. But my friendships would be strengthened if I could make more time for visits and phone calls, so I'll try that too.
Today was a lovely day. I have work this evening, which is both a blessing and a curse. I'm desperately trying to earn enough money to travel and pay rent this summer, but I really dislike how INSANE work is. Between the crazy running around, frantic search for tickets and credits cards and correct totals, angry customers and bastards-for-bosses, this has been an awfully stressful Pops season. But the money is good. And I need the money.
I went to Soo Bahk Do today, where I was the only non child. I really need to get myself to more Thursday and Friday adult classes. The kid classes are fun, but frustrating for me. I want to be pushed, and instead I'm often acting as the good example and trying to help keep the kids focused. I can't wait until work is done so I can train more than once every few days.
I'm done with animation. I've learned what they can teach me, made the best film I could, and now only have my review to prepare for on Tuesday. The senior show went off wonderfully (although I nearly lost it when we ran 15 minutes late), and my piece looked lovely and non-interlaced. I enjoyed wandering around the North End with my family, and sitting in the sun, and dressing pretty and being on stage. Twas good.
Right now the biggest thing on my mind is apartments. I've found one I really like quite a lot, for an amazing price, but it's a June 1st move-in and quite far away. I'm not sure if I'm ready to leave the Hill quite yet. I was planning on leaving in July or August, so I had a bit of time left with my MassArt friends before they spread to the corners of the earth. But this place is SO cheap and cute and lovely roommates. I may use my security deposit to pay for June and just physically move in July, I don't know. I have a few more places to look at, but it's such a stress inducer. I wish I could sort this out.
Things have generally been improving slowly in just about every part of my life. Work is happening, school is ending, Soo Bahk Do is progressing and I feel good about myself, summer is approaching (and with it all SORTS of opportunities), I'm in love with a wonderful person and eager to go home and spend time with friends. It's nice.
Now I'm off to cook some rice, read a bit, tidy up, and enjoy my free time before work. How're you doing?
