Graduation and Now What?

Well, it's been over a week since I graduated with my Bachelor's of Arts.  Now I'm ready to take over the world!  No, not really.  More like sending resumes out to all and sundry hoping to land a position that will prepare me for what I really want to do.  I have been applying for internships and paying gigs and so far nothing has come up.  I shouldn't be worried, but I am.  It has been three years since I worked a regular job and longer than that since I have gone through the interview process.  To top it all off I am also moving across the country to California.

Ok, CA is where dreamers and the talented all gather hoping for the big break.  To be honest I really just want to break even.  I might even find a way to split my time between LA and Cleveland.  Many of my friends are embarking on some really amazing projects.  I am a bit sad not to be in a position to help them.  In the meantime I do have an independent film to work on and more packing to do.  So why is it that I find myself knitting each evening?

You could say that I'm lonely and knitting does make the time go by faster.  My husband took a position in the LA area a couple of months ago.  So, it's just me and fur-babies.  My dogs are loving that I am here to walk them and cater to their every need.  The cats, well...the cats are cats.  They do whatever they want, whenever they want.  Mostly they keep me around because I can open the food containers and distribute catnip.  LOL


It's been hard, but in another month I will finally be westward bound.  In many ways I am ready to start this new phase of my life.
