is it selfish to be posting this on inauguration day? woo! go obama! ok, now for serious matters. my life. so we're a ticking the moments til i land back in the U.S. (hopefully not in jail for being an illegal...haha. joking mom!..i hope.) and i need to start making some decisions about my life. eww. i hate that.
first some answers to some FAQ's:
1. YES, i am coming back to the U.S. in may. 3 of my best friends are getting married. two to each other (steph and zack) and the other is pantsy (otherwise known as miss jennifer lyons). since i'm a bridesmaid in both, i should probably be there, yeah?
2. NO. i don't have an italian boyfriend (yet.) and no, i'm not dating that crazy tenor. (p.s. sarah p. and liz verified that he was completely insane b/c they met him...that's ANOTHER blog entry)
3. I have NO IDEA what the hell i'm going to do after this. german? french? (i should probably put SOMETHING in my bank account before i do either of those..)
segue!......
so, what should i do? nannying is TOTALLY out of the question. hell no. here are some options.
1. auditions - i should probably be doing something in music, right? so, i can go to new york whenever i can for auditions....but who honestly knows what will come up? i could end up doing rogers and hammerstein in ohio (not complaining...any job is cool w/ me!). another option....dare i even say it?....disney? ::gasp:: i know. it could ruin all the fuzzy feelings i have for disney. oh wait - those don't exist. so, could be a good jumping point. i do have a "disney" voice i suppose. but there's no way i'm getting stuck in orlando, florida ::shiver:: (literally just did.) so what do i do? cali? paris? a tour? just go audition and hope for the best? i'm interested in your feedback. especially those of you 'in the biz' who know about this kind of stuff.
2. school - yeah, i should probably go back to school. i'm REALLY feeling britian for grad school right now (mostly because i KNOW i will melt at those accents. damn.). but when? and how? and for what? good questions. i suppose i should start thinking about that.
3. real job? - yeah i know i'm a teacher here and whatnot, but i'll be honest...not so totally into teaching. never was. music? yes. ESL...ehh. it pays the bills while i'm travelling. i'm just being honest! i mean i love the kids, but i don't want to do this forever. what the heck am i going to do when i get back to philly? crawl back to SRO? for those of you not cool w/ the 'lingo' that would be Starr Restaurant Organization that i worked for as a server for 3 years...good money but not the sort of life i want. i was pretty miserable. just ask jeff king or sarah p. - they had to put up w/ me. my apologies.
anyway, these are some things i got going on. i should try and think of some stuff to do while i'm basking in the 60 sunshine in january, heck yes roma! woo! jealous? you bet your bottom dollar you are ;)
