Big Apple!!!

I'm in New York!!!! It's kind of crazy actually being here. My first night was an absolute blast! I was asked if I wanted to see the Broadway premiere of Bring It On! The Musical, and OF COURSE I wanted to go! So much more fun than packing! Unfortunately, my flight was delayed and I ended up only having a minute to change into a dress and throw my makeup in the bag after getting lost in my cab from JFK delayed me some more. All in all, a very eventful first day in NY. My apartment is pretty nice. It's different from home, but it's fairly spacious in my room and now that I have a window AC unit (Oh my gosh, just get the AC unit, it is worth it! Fans just don't feel the same!) I am doing pretty good. I have to continue the job hunt, but I bought groceries and a lot of things I needed today. Overall productive in a sense, but I'll feel much better once I start working again (and hopefully in theatre&/or lighting and electrics!). I am trying to stay positive because this is truly a surreal experience and I am blessed to be here now. I hope I can look back and know I made a good move. But right now, for better or for worse, I am fulfilling one of my dreams. A dream I have had ever since I was little and realized how much I love theatre. I never thought it would actually take me this far, but I am so extremely happy that it has!

Have a blog!

I thought I would try this blog idea out that seems to be the rave...well, it has been the rave for quite some time now. Anyways, I have been writing less of late and thought maybe if I did it online I would write more. Seems a bit unlikely since I rarely like to put personal things on the internet. However, I shall attempt to blog. It will mostly be for my own benefit and to enhance my writing and creativity, but feel free to read it if you feel so inclined. 


First thing- I am moving to Brooklyn in less than 48 hours! I have hoped that my life would take me to NY but didn't imagine it a real possibility until now when it has finally happened! I am so blessed and thankful for this opportunity to pursue my dreams in the greatest city in the world for theatre! I am so eager to work there and see what the city may bring me! So hopefully I will have plenty of things to blog about in the next few days as I search for jobs, meet new people, and enjoy living in NY!
