A Much Needed Download
It’s been sooooooo long since I’ve updated this and its really time for me to do so before I lose it completely. Many of you know that I was in the TJ contest didn’t make the top 5 but I did prove that I could do the damn job. In a way I regret doing it because I lost focus in my classes. Yet on the other hand I got to experience so much stuff and meet great people. So I can say that now I have a general idea of what I want to do with my life and I’m trotting down the right path. So what the fuck do I do now… I got a MTVN job-listing but I’m under qualified for everything! Seriously I can’t even fetch someones coffee without an Associates of Arts degree. (which is what I’m in school for at the moment.)
So I was feeling beyond defeated especially since I may not be able to get financial aid this semester if I get anything lower than an A or B and because my focus slipped I’m positive I’ll be getting C’s. Which means I’ll have to take a semester off because I can’t afford to pay for my classes out of my pocket unless of course I can get a job before then. (working on this)
I was talking to one of my co-workers about it and he said I should try and get an internship and be groomed for positions. Great idea…but I’m in Ohio MTVN does provide internships in various areas but Ohio ain’t one of em! So I thought out of the box with this one…. why not move? Just transfer schools and move to New York. There are several factors keeping me here (lack of money, elderly grandmother, fear) but in the end I’m the only person holding me back.
I went to college late in life because of money issues and those issues still exist. I’m tired of feeling like my life is going nowhere. So I plan to bust my ass I really want to take my classes next semester because I have a class with Alex Papp and he’s fucking brilliant. I’ll just work my ass off on the days where I don’t have class, save up every penny and just do it. I told people about it and they gave me side eye. My aunt’s initial reaction was “NEW YORK? FOR WHAT!?” I cant expect for anyone to understand that I feel depressed and useless right now. Nothing is gonna happen for me if I don’t go out and work for it.
