Got a call from Dougie today it totally made my day after a hard time at work. I’ve got to find something where I can utilize my skills besides at Comp USA…I feel at times like it’s a dead end job, as there’s not really anywhere I can (or would like) to move up to. I pray that this SF Ballet residence director goes through. I know I’d be really great at it, I just need them to take a risk on me and give me a shot.

I got email from DSB too which really lets me know that my friends care for me. I’m also thankful that I’m still relitively heathy. I need to get my *ss in gear though for these SGA coming up. I can actually see the growth of a *belly* It’s pretty gross. I’ve just not ever really gotten in a rhythm this year.

It’s really comfortable when your life is in the College bubble (like CU) and you can concentrate on getting your education and not worry about rent/job/etc. That’s a big thing that I’m learning since I’ve been in SF. Part of me just wants an easy life, but I am not finished with this quest yet. I am going to find myself, and a place where I can succeed creatively/artistically/athletically/socially I just want happiness; and I’m going to do everything in my power to achieve my goal.
