Ahh yes, the same sad tune plays over and over again: I haven't updated in months. But not to worry! You're not missing out on anything, because I haven't written anything in months, either. So, you know. That solves THAT.
My general updates, in a nutshell:
Now in... less than eight hours, I'll be starting work at my old job at the giant computer company. I feel a little ambivalent about having made essentially NO progress in that regard, but it's a job with great pay (yay for debt reduction!), an awesome boss and good coworkers, and it's one that I already know how to do and which gives me the shift I need to keep my theatre prospects open. Um, yeah. The choice is kind of obvious.
The destruction of my debt is only one part of my plan for the coming year-and-four-months, though. Part of the reason I'm not going straight on to grad school is that I feel a bit burnt out on the academics and need to recharge other areas of my life. Playing various instruments, singing, acting, being more physically active... and, of course, ( reading and writing. Behold my master plans below the cut! )
I am really excited to have some time to devote to this stuff. Tomorrow is my official start date (and I should probably go the heck to bed, since I need to be up at HOLY CRAP AM for work.) I'll try to keep the minutae off of this journal, but expect more activity in general.
My general updates, in a nutshell:
- FREAKIN' GRADUATED. Rawk.
- Wrote 49 pages for Script Frenzy. Not a win, but a few completed short plays under my belt.
- Won an essay-writing contest for a paper I wrote last term. Had another potential winner this term, but couldn't submit because of the first win. (Oh noes! I'm so sad!)
- Submitted four stories to VOX. Had all of them published. Woot!
- Won (and generaly dominated) a photo context for VOX, too. Got 50$ for my troubles. Also Woot!
- Went to an English conference and presented a paper about Batman Begins.
- Directed a Tom Stoppard short play for school. Have also participated in some local theatre-type workshops, which has been fun.
- Played Hamlet. Rocked the world. Fulfilled a life-long dream.
