Almost over...
"Tomorrow's just a mystery.. but that's okay.."
I ♥ Taylor Swift. :P
Anyhoo, my semester is almost over! The problem with that is the fact that I have a TON of projects lining themselves up now. Gosh. What happened to 1+1=2? I miss those days. :( But seriously, I have two major projects coming up in Multimdia Productions and also in my Digital Design class. I have yet to start on my 2500-4500 word research paper for Digital Design, too -- and it's due this Wednesday! Yikes.
Also, since I'm getting oh so close to graduating now -- next fall! -- it's been making me think a whole bunch more about my career direction. Now now... I still haven't swayed from what I want to accomplish. I'm still going to Nashville to attempt a career in country music -- singing and songwriting. Hah.. and what's funny is that I've never been to Nashville. But I honestly believe that's how it is for the majority of country singers who make it in the industry. Most have never been, and once they go, a whole new world is laid out before their eyes. I can't wait to experience that either. A previous co-manager from Hobby Lobby came into the store a couple of nights ago...Jerry...and I started telling him about my plans now and how I'm about to graduate, and he said I'm going to absolutely love Nashville. He lived there for a while a long time ago, and told me that I'll never get bored -- there's always something new to do every day/night. <3 I can't wait for that. City life, new experiences, Old Hickory Lake, Grand Ole Opry, etc... it could go on!
But there's one downside to it all. Discussion of this brings a strain to my relationship with Sam. She absolutely doesn't want to move away from her family -- and I understand that kind of thing can be a difficult matter. But when you get married, you start a new life together...no matter where that takes you. And in being married, you're to support the other in whatever career decisions they want to accomplish -- and since I'm the guy/man/d00d, aka the "leader" in the relationship, she's supposed to support my decision in wanting to become a singer/songwriter. And going over there would even bring her more opportunities to be succesful in her degree field as there are more universities and colleges -- she wants to get her masters in Art Education and teach art classes at college. I just want her to go into this with no fear...just as I have. I just love her too much for her to not be by my side over in Nashville.
So.. since so much thought and talk of this subject has been going on amongst myself, family, and friends, it's made me want to start playing at The Roundup again in Brookland. I'll call up ol' Jerry Williams once I finish a few of these crazy projects at college so I don't feel even more stressed out because of playing -- my focus needs to be 100% after all. :P
