poison cup
It has been months since I've updated and I figure now is as good a time as any.
Since November.... jesus where to I begin.
My dad passed on November 25th, Christmas, snow storm, some of my most favorite winter memories were created this past winter. My grades greatly suffered winter term, spring term began. Things are on the up and up.
7 days until until my 21st birthday.
9 days until I leave for New York. I landed an internship with the Sadie Nash foundation. Go ahead, look it up if you're bored. www.sadienash.org in short, it's a non-profit young women's leadership project. I will be a student dean, teaching classes about social justice, womens rights, systems of oppression, feminist history and activism to young girls all summer. I'll be living in an "artists' loft" in Williamsburg and work M-F 9-5. Taking the subway into downtown Manhattan every day and taking it home in the evenings. This is a journey. A step above the camp counselor role that becomes so routine. The best thing about this internship is that it is paid, a little less than what I normal get at summer camp but it's an internship. Also, I got a pretty ridiculous scholarship from the College of Liberal Arts here at OSU for this internship. Nice. I think I'm most excited to 1. not be living in a cabin 2. still working with kids 3. beefin' up the resumee 4. living in a big city, big, big city.
Even though I didn't really need to, I lost some weight and have like a fitting/viewing, i don't really know what its called, for the American Apparel in New York. Apparently they just have really open castings and you schedule a time, go in, try on some clothes, they take some pictures and then call you back. I went to the one in Portland to get ready for the one in New York and they took some pictures and sent them off to NYC for me. Then I got an e-mail asking about a time to for me to come in. It pays REALLY REALLY terrible, but you get a ton of free clothes and then your picture on a billboard or something haha. I probably won't be a on billboard, more like small scale advertising. I never really seriously thought about modeling and I don't think I ever will. This will be fun though.
Sasquatch was unreal this year. Last years' line up, kicked this years ass, however this years fun factor was so unbelievable. I went with a bunch of people I had met off of craigslist, decided to take a risk and I'm so glad I did. It's nice to get to know people, people you have no history with. Everybody gets to go into the friendship with a clean slate and I can be the person I wish I could have been in the past. Does that make sense? Sometimes I look back on my life and think, WHAT. THE. FUCK. But that's only because I had some experience to make me feel that way I suppose.
I'm just tired of anything that brings anxiety/unhappiness in my life. I'm open and welcoming any positivity. I don't know who reads this. If you do, I hope everything is positive.
