I'm sorry I have not updated. I have been very busy. So let's get the lowdown....
I'm in Chesapeake, Virginia. Staying in the house with Mom and Nana. This is has been a good thing and a bad thing, to say the least. I am constantly in looking for a place to move to. I really need to get my own apartment. Mom and I get along great; its my wonderful grandmother I have problems with. She drives me crazy five out of six days. I just need to get out of her 24/7 watch. I need to be able to live my own life!
Speaking of life, I am working as a Box Office Assistant in Portsmouth. It is a part-time job, but I have a great boss and good working environment. I mean, the women I work with are strong. And of course, I get to stay in the performing arts business. Of course, I'm not building stages, or teching, or vocal directing... But I'm working the monetary ends, and publicity... I get the business end.
On the horizon, I am considering many different options.
One of which would be grad school. There are different programs that are in this area in terms of Media, Film, and Theater. I'm still trying to figure out how to make it all work if i stay here. Because if I go to grad school, I'm not sure I can afford to move out. But I'm still figuring out things on that end.
Another option is finding another job in the area more directly involved in the media. Like at a television station. Or with some of the production studios in the area. I also have acquaintances who are starting their own productions companies. But all that seems to be moving a snail pace.
Another option is the picking up and moving to ... say, New York or Boston, or even D.C.. That will always be something that I should definitely do at some point.
See, this is a problem I get into when I am home. You get pulled into this vortex. This comfort zone that you can't get out of. And I know I need to break away, but do you ever feel like its just not the right time yet? There will be a right time. And even if it's not a right time, there will be a breaking point.

We're all sort of in that position right now, I think it's just the post college slump. I mean, I've sort of picked a direction, but I'm still unsure about it or how I'm going to pay for it etc. I think it'll work out for you though. There's nothing wrong with living at home for a bit to save some money even if it means torture for you. Eventually, you'll either have enough saved or will have just had enough and then things will start to fall into place.
