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.
