For the past two months after graduation I have been spending most of my time at the theater working or at my new job at Einstein's Bagels. . .
Not exactly the way I would choose to spend my summer, however I need to make money to prepare for the incredibly expensive world that is manhattan. In Manhattan you are either IN or your OUT as Heidi Klum from Project Runway would so eloquently state it. I don't want to appear as the Virginia flamer/ yokel of sorts. I need to prove that while my surroundings may seem less than chic, I, myself, have the class that it takes to interact with the NYC elites.
Recently I sat down with my mom and decided that since I have a perfectly fine spot to live in Ny that is open and ready, that I can take the leap and move up at the end of July. I had a healthy conversation with her and explained to her that I was suffocating in VA. There is only soo much of the monster trucks, nascar, and camo that I can take before I start to get depressed. After going to school for 12 years with these people and graduating I think that it is time that I got out and started what the rest of my life is going to be. I don't have anyone that I am leaving behind that I really am attached to at all. Right now I am just counting days and bills till my big departure. Whatever money I leave with must get my through till the beginning of school when my parents start pitching in.
I am much happier now that I have a set date that I will arrive in New York. I guess that this will be my pseudo vacation before school to just do whatever I want. I will be able to take dance classes at steps, go to museums, visit with friends that I need to keep in touch with. . .
This will be one of the first good things I have done completely for myself in awhile.
