News of The Me

Man, it's been a tough month. After the endless broke-ness of unemployment, and my dad's heart surgery dramas, I finally feel like I'm coming through the other side. Comfortable, kind of assured. Haven't had that in a while.

Spring's around the corner, which always has a dual effect, it seems. People get filled with the Fever, excited about the prospect of approaching summer and everything that connotes. The flip side is that everybody also seems to start FREAKING OUT. I've always noticed this. I usually just have a week long meltdown, which I think I've gotten over early this year (hopefully). Things seem to smooth out by the time my birthday comes, so hopefully that'll be the case this year as well.

Speaking of my bday, which is in April, there are some big changes shakin. I might move into the house Dick Donovan lives in next month, right on Lyndale. Much cheaper rent, much less pressure. This is what I'm looking for. I just can't afford my big beautiful studio anymore, which is saaaaaaaaad, but oh well, right? Plus, it's time to start saving for even bigger stuff, like moving to NYC in September!

It's high time for me to mosey along and go do something different for a while. I don't feel like I'm finding the opportunites I need here job-wise, and I just kinda feel like living somewhere else for a while! Maureen has invited me to be her roommate, and she's getting a place somewhere in Broklyn this summer. In addition, my brother is waiting to hear back from Eugene Lang, which is part of the New School, so we would both be relocating at the same time. I really, really hope he gets in.

In the meantime, I'm going to take an advanced/intensive French reading course this summer and start studying up for the GRE's. And SAVING. Then I'll be applying for grad school at City University New York the following winter, to start a year from this coming fall. These are my schemes. So we shall see!

If anyone has advice, or any kind of job connections, be sure to let me know!!!

Over and Out.
