A long span of time, and many events have occurred since last I wrote. Lets see, I graduated high school, got a job, became the head of only costumer of the the summer musical, Man of La Mancha, and officially decided what to do with at least part of my gap year. (details are still unknown I just personally made a decision.) So what to talk about in this entry? I started this blog shortly after I started ninth grade, High School, and now three full years passed, actually a little short of three since I started in September, and I am now officially a high school graduate. I have my whole life in front of me, so many options, choices, decisions... its pretty stressful and I can't honestly tell you I have handled the transition with grace. In fact the weekend of my graduation I was such a complete pain my mother had my good friend Kismet come over in an attempt to calm me down. (Thankfully it worked to the relief of my household.) Now that a week has passed and I have time to settle down into this changed person I am somewhat more level headed. I have a job to go to everyday (although currently its just an unpaid internship, blah) in the evenings I have musical rehearsal and other various activites with friends and family.
For the last few months of school I was constantly freaking out about how to fill the time of my precious gap year, but in the last week I have found a way to settle down and relax about it. It's a gap year. Even if I do nothing, I will still start high school the same age as if I had gone to that final year. Not to mention, besides the usual bumps that happen in life, opportunities seem to keep springing up out of the ground, working at the Ohio Historical Society, possibly going to a film set, spending a weekend on a farm, going to Ireland... so there's a lot of options. I find that if you are nice to everyone and show interest in what they do, you tend to get invited places. Maybe its just me, but that's my tip of advice for the day. In any case the day draws on and I have to be at work by 11:30, so keep checking in!
