Something to celebrate

I checked my old posts on this thingy, and apparently tomorrow is the one-year mark since I began work at King of the Hill. Hm... I think I'm going to call Everett tomorrow and--oh wait. I've not posted this news yet:

Couple days ago I got in touch with a gal who works for Salem Christian Home in Southern California which provides care for adults with developmental disabilities (sound familiar?). The idea of giving this job a shot came to me a couple of weeks ago. I had talked to Mary about my job search woes, and she told me that she thought it was great that I was able to work at a place like Bethshan. It takes a certain ("special," as it were) kind of person to care for people with developmental disablities, and I've felt for quite a while now that I'm pretty good at what I do over at Bethshan, but... I've been looking to do something elsewhere... Breaking into the entertainment industry with only a few months experiance is a bitch. I want to do it, but I don't have enough experiance, and I'm not in the right location. But what if I could be in the right location, but still do the same job as I do now? Why not? If I filled up my schedule with overnight shifts I really wouldn't have to worry too much about housing (housing payments would be a bitch). I could bunk at my aunt and uncles if I really had to. I could save up money to move to a place of my own eventually. I could borrow--and maybe eventually buy my aunt and uncle's extra car from them. AND on my days off? Who's to say that I couldn't haul my ass into L.A. for a little internship-action at my beloved Film Roman?

See? This is why I need to call Everett. And what would be a more appropriate day to do this on, than the one-year mark of when I originally began my internship at King of the Hill?

I feel so refreshed by the idea of this decision. I think I might have tears in my eyes. It's calming, and exciting all at the same time. It's a big change that I would have to adjust to, but it's not so scary in that it's not something that I don't think I could handle. Also, if it really doesn't work out, I'm no worse off than I am right now, am I? I could always come back to Chicago and continue working at Bethshan. It's not like I can't change my mind about it. But I need to go. I need to give it a shot. If only for a couple months.

If this is your will
God send me where you need me.
I want to be there.

Whoever reads this, if you could keep it in your prayers, that would be great. Thanks.

Quest for Jobs

The quest for a career is underway, I guess. I'm filling out a resume at VarietyCareers.com, and plan to apply for their listing for the production assistant position at Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank, California. I don't think I can afford the move, but whatever.

I kind of need some money

It Ruins

Wow. Chris Scott was not lying. The last paper of college really does ruin you. I'm a page-and-a-half from the end. I think I'm going to print it and call it quits. Last paper of college. Who cares, right? They're already giving me my gold rope at honors convocation for being on the Dean's list throughout my college career. I win. I'm done. Unless I screw this up VERY BADLY I'm graduating with honors. Woo. Take THAT last week of school! Boo-yah!

write the last paper
I'm almost done with college
don't wanna write it

I'm friggin' done with this, yo.

I'll read it through one more time and add some things here and there where they're needed, but after that, I'm DONE (with this freekin' paper).

Prayer:

Dear God,
Please, please, please let this work...
