Here I am again, trying to get into this blogging thing. Looks like my hunch was correct that it would be a while before I came back - but hey, I did! Soooo let's see what's new in my corner of the cafe:
Still job searching like crazy. Nothing is really coming up and the positions I'm fit for have about a thousand applicants with people who have just as much experience as I do. This has lead me into thinking about getting some additional schooling or a certification under my belt. Will it be project management? event planning? film production? New ideas come up every day but the deeper I dig, the more I feel I will get to something.
In the meantime, I'm trying to both listen to and not be too distracted by the voices that are telling me to "take a pottery class!" "keep working on the Spanish lessons!" and the very tempting "who cares, enjoy your summer!" Even though I would advise anyone else to grab on to those ideas and go with it, the practical side of me just knows I have the potential to spiral into constant distraction if I do anything too whimsical too quickly. Almost four months out of work takes a toll on the budget, and since I did not cancel any of my travel plans over the next few months I have to be more money-conscious than ever. Not doing anything, however, has lead me to not. do. anything.
Where do I go from here? No clue just yet, but I'm determined to stick with a daily routine packed with research and a dash of self-discovery until I figure it out (hell, even after I figure it out ... the joy is in the searching, right?). Luckily I've got the greatest friend in the world who offers unwavering support and (for now) the ability to afford this "life" a little bit longer.
Up next? A DMB show in less than two weeks! Ah yes - something to look forward to ...
