If I Were A Boy...

Ugh...I had a horrible day at Growing Room. I'll just have to push on through. I talked to Adam and that made me feel better.

But, I got the great news that I will be teaching Winter classes at the Springer! I'll be teaching a Shakespeare class with Jackson, and then possibly an acting class for 3rd-5th graders. That will make me very happy...plus, it will be a nice change from the craziness of Growing Room. Seriously.

Can't wait til the weekend.

Hello Employment!

I am now employed by Growing Room Inc.! I'm working part-time at their Aflac: Imagination Station 1 with their after-school program. I'm very excited to be working again, even if it is part-time. Orientation today was pretty intense. I was hit with so much information and guidelines to follow that I hope I don't crash and burn on my first day. I would hate to mess up procedure. Bah, scary!

I start officially on Monday and will work with them...indefinitely. I don't know if I would want to work with them full-time. We'll have to see after a few weeks, I guess.

The 5th of November...

When I woke up this morning, I felt rejuvenated. Barack Obama is the President-Elect, and in my opinion, the country is moving in the right direction. We're ready for this. 

Then, thanks to Facebook, I saw how some of my friends are saying ignorant things. This is a time when America should be proud and united that we exercised our rights as Americans and voted and elected a new president. This result cannot be changed, so instead of saying nasty, bigoted remarks. What makes it even worse is that my family is part of this group. It saddens me, and frustrates me to no end. Let us embrace this day and work together for a better future. supposed to be the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? Right?

But on a lighter note, I have an interview with Growing Room tomorrow at 9AM. I am very excited, and am crossing my fingers that I get this job. I can't just sit at home all day.

Here's hoping that tomorrow is a great day.

Things are buzzing...

Happy Election Day!

It is so exciting watching the results!

And now I can say.....OBAMA!!!!!

Hello unemployment! So good to see you!

That is right ladies and gentlemen, I am now once again, unemployed. Mmmm. Job hunting. Gotta love it.

Yes, Father of the Bride closed last night. It was a wonderful, highly entertaining run. And I must say, my biceps are looking pretty good. Damn Oriental Rug. I'll miss hanging out with the "2nd Act posse" as I, just now, nicknamed them. We had some good times hanging out upstairs in the studio, talking...but mostly watching hilariously stupid YouTube videos and making every day an Un-PC day in some form or fashion.

But last night while eating after strike (the food was exceptional btw), Jeff and I were talking about what I want to do next. In all honesty, leading a life like this is what I want. Acting and teaching at the Springer...and hopefully at other theaters elsewhere. I thought I would like settling down: finding a good solid teaching job at a high school, working there until I was old and gray. And now? That is a big N-O. What an awful existence! For me at least.

I am embracing change. Change is good. Moving around, experiencing life...I need to do more of this. YES YES YES.

Now if I could let go of this one thing that is bothering my heart....God how EMO was that?!?
