My first update of 2010! Fancy that.
I graduate from college in a month. DUN DUN DUN.
I'm really posting because I was home for a few days last week. Nearly everyone was talking to me about "when I move back home." EEK! How do I just say to these people that it probably isn't happening? Oddly enough, my father was one of the few who didn't assume I would be back. He seems to be itching to get out of MN too. I got home the other day, and he had painted the living room, hung new curtains, and done all sorts of things like that. I assumed this was all with the idea of selling the house in the next year or two. When I asked him about it, he told me he's probably going to rent it out. That way he can fly back to MN whenever he wants on "business" but still live in CO, which seems to be the plan. SO THAT'S COOL! I wasn't ready for my childhood home to be given up forever. This is a happy medium.
The question remains! Where do I go after this?
I'm NOT going to Seattle. The Rep didn't want me. I guess I knew when I mailed my application that it wasn't going to happen. Odd how that worked out. I liked the idea of Seattle, but actually being there that one weekend with Schultz and Kitty and Kait didn't really suit me. Let's be real, though, when does traveling with other people ever suit me?
My lease in 1016 W. Armitage is up at the end of June. (another DUN DUN DUN). It will be incredibly sad to leave. That's assuming I won't be kicked out for murdering Alex Cole before that time. What else is new?
My first option is to stay in Chicago. That means getting my own place or getting a new roommate. I only want one, and I would like for them to be quiet and antisocial like me. Haha. Perhaps Michael Schultz.
The other option is to pack my bags and head for New York. Davey Joe and Victor want another roommate. Could I do that? Do I really want to be in New York? Yes and no. Eegad.
Today (RIGHT NOW) my decision is to stay in Chicago for 1 year. I have my job at the opera back in the fall, which is amazing. I have friends here. I know this city. I can save money, audition, do shows, fly to New York for auditions, and do all sorts of things like that. I don't think I'd be stuck in too much of a rut working my ass off and having no fun and all that. Yes. This makes sense.
I want to commit my entire being to whatever I do. And that's that.
