The Sitch

So you all may or may not know that I am not currently in Boston. If you didn't know, SURPRISE! I'M NOT IN BOSTON! After a tumultuous Fall semester I decided to take a year off to relax, recharge, refocus and follow my dreams! Well at least the first few... My flight from Boston was ninja stealthy. Ask my roomate Skylar. Once my Mom drove up to pick me up, all my stuff was loaded into a car and I was on the road in a day. I spent a couple weeks with the family in North Carolina helping out, then down to my final destination of Winter Park, FL. I was born in this pretty little suburb of Orlando, and whenever I'm here, I feel an odd sense of peace. In my lifetime, the neighborhood went from rags to riches and now my grandma's old house where I'm staying is worth way less the land its on. We're talking mansions everywhere, every other car is a Porche, brick paved streets, beautiful trees hanging over the road, obscuring the sky. This place is super nice. I don't think I've ever felt so conscious of the economic state of the people around me, but this town is rich.
My goal here is to do what I've always wanted to do but couldn't because of school: get a job, explore some acting, meet people, just live life for a bit. This is obviously proving harded to do the originally thought. I'm trying to exaust all the "fun" options before I settle for just a regular job. I've put a couple applications in for Sea World jobs, went to a Disney audition, but still nothing doing. I haven't given up though. My thinking is that if i was just going to get a regular job, then I could have stayed in North Carolina. Maybe I should have gone back to Alaska, but I know I wouln't have the opportunities there that I do here.
To get back into Tech in a year, I have to remain active in school. I'll be taking some classes at the local rich ass private college Rollins. Low key, but good stuff. There's a marine bio class and a scriptwriting class I'm looking forward to in particular. Should be good stuff.
The girls and I have a pretty good living here so far. It took a while to settle in, but I'm pretty happy with the way things turned out. I thought it would be fun to keep a log of the way this year unfolds. So... that's pretty much what's up. Hopefully I'll at least end up with some good stories.
