I can't believe it's already after 4 o'clock and I've barely done anything today. I did make it to the gym and did a few things around my apartment. I'm trying to not procrastinate and stay on top of everyday things like not letting the dishes pile up in the sink, putting things away after I use them and not letting my apartment get messy to the point that it takes all week to clean it, etc. It's hard and sometimes the most mundane things feel like a huge ordeal, but I do feel a little less overwhelmed and the atmosphere in my apartment seems more pleasant without stuff piling up everywhere. I think I need to follow my own advice and do this for my career too because I have a bad, bad tendency to procrastinate.
Right now I'm drinking this really, really, REALLY good coffee I got at Trader Joe's yesterday! It's so good I can even drink it with very little or no flavored Coffee Mate in it which I usually can't do. I highly recommend D'Aquino Caffe Espresso - you don't even need an espresso machine to make it. There's instructions how to make it in a regular coffee maker and I tried it and it tastes great!
I have class tonight - my first real class of the year. Last week was the first official class but I didn't go to my usual class and we did the whole goal setting thing so it wasn't structured like a usual class.
Last week I had a somewhat busy week. Monday was my first day back to my survival job, which was rough, especially since I usually don't work on Mondays but since I had been gone for two weeks I "made an appearance." Then later in the day I went to go see about a new survival job. I'm trying to "transition out" of my current job. The goal is to find a part-time job while keeping my other job (which has essentially become a part-time job) pay off some bills, and when I'm in a better position try to keep only the new part-time job and maybe do more work for them, or find another part-time job on top of that. This job I went to go see about was EXACTLY what I was looking for - it's part time to begin with, I could keep my other job for the time being, I can pick and choose which shifts I want to work, and there was the chance for other opportunities down the road. And it paid a decent amount of money - wouldn't make me rich, but I wouldn't have to stress over buying a $10 t-shirt at Target! Unfortunately I didn't get the job, but it's okay. It seemed a little too perfect and I wonder if there was something they weren't telling me at the interview. Oh well.
Tuesday I put together an audition tape for an audition notice I saw on one of the several casting sites I visit. I was kind of proud of myself, - taped it, put it in my computer, made the file small enough to e-mail, and e-mailed it without a problem. Haven't heard anything back yet.
I also went to class last week, did some online submissions, tried to research a few things on IMDB pro, and signed up for a free seminar at the end of January. I also found out about an internship opportunity that seemed perfect for me, didn't procrastinate (much) and e-mailed the person about it last night.
This week is already looking busy too...I just hope this continues.
Okay, it's after 4:30 so I need to start cooking something for dinner and get ready for class.
