This past semester has been one of the most hectic that I've ever been through...but now I'm done!! That's right; I am now a college graduate. It's actually very surreal, kinda like a birthday. It means something, but at the same time, you don't really feel any different. I'm just so fricken happy to be done. No more school, until I choose to go back; it's awesome!
In addition to graduation, jobs have been lining up, which is fantastic since the market is still not kind to recent college grads. But, I am talking about theatre jobs, which means I still have to have a full-time gig in order to pay for my art. Oh well, at least I'm still working at it....right? Note to self: find full-time job that doesn't have to do with children.
And, last but not least, my life wouldn't be complete if I didn't have a relationship to hem and haw over. He's my best friend; we're great when we're together; he's the right type of attitude to off-set mine. And, yes he just got out of a long-term engagement and hates everyone. I know, I know. This all sounds very bad, but fret not. Of all the things we do, the thing we do the most is talk. Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. We talk about everything. I haven't spent more hours talking with him, than I have with my theatre friends this past semester...and I worked with all of them on West Side. I don't feel all those stupid feelings I used to feel for other people, the kind where you think you'll jinx yourself if you talk about it, or worry that something will take it away...things like that. Friends first, was our motto.....I think. Either way, I'm not worried. whether it be for now or for a long period of time, he's a part of my life. I've never felt this kind of comfort around anyone before. I'm not saying it couldn't be/happen with anyone else, I'm just saying, of all the relationships I've had with men, this one doesn't feel the same. Could have to do with maturity, or the fact that we're incredibly similar, that we share similar views, that we both care deeply about each other and respect one another. I don't know...I just know I like this new feeling....whatever it may be or stem from.
NEWS: I'm directing a show this summer with a theatre group that a couple of friends and I created. Our first show is "True West" by Sam Shepard and I am uber excited. I'm still figuring out what I want to do with life and what I want to go to grad school for, but I figure, I'm going to take some years off to figure it out, gain some life experience, and then apply to grad school without doubt in my mind. So, we'll see. I think that's it for the update. If you have a minute, dro pme a line and met me know who you're doing. I love all my friends and miss them incredibly.
