Disappointments and Let Downs

You know when things are going really good? And you’re sitting there thinking, man, I know this can’t last forever? Well, that’s what happened. My school funding has been denied. I’ve already been stressed out trying to find money for a commuter car, since 90min commute to school is a money suck in our current vehicle. Our debts are being chipped away very slowly, but now I have tuition costs on top of everything else, AND I won’t be working, so we will be down to 1 income, with rent, bills, car payment, etc… My anxiety has been back in force. My eating habits have been suffering because of it. I keep believing things will work out. They just HAVE TO!! But it’s so hard to see right now.

I managed to JUST BARELY squeak into the 2nd year workshops I wanted to get into. They are really small classes. Fiction is 15 seats, and Screenplay is 8 seats. I’m lucky to have got in at all. And now that I AM in, I don’t even know if I can afford to take them. In light of this I have set up a gofundme page to help cover my first semesters tuition costs. I hate asking people for money. Like, actually, I’d rather skip meals than borrow 10$ for groceries… But this is my dream. And I won’t back down without a fight. So to all the benevolent people in the world. Here is a link to my page:

P.S. I have reward levels! I don’t expect people to just give me money for free 🙂

P.P.S. Did I tell you about the 2nd book I started writing with my friend? I’ll be back to update my Book Musings link soon!

On Finishing 1st year, Moving, and Work

I have come through exams and survived.

Currently I am procrastinating my need to pack. I’m moving in with my parents for the summer so I can work before heading back to school in September. I am both excited, sad, and nervous. Excited because a summer at my parents place means I get to spend time with my family for the whole summer! I get to see my brother on a weekly basis, and we can finally start recording some music!

I’m sad because it means the summer away from my husband, but having two incomes will help pay off the debt we accumulated while I was in school. Finally I’m nervous because of work. After 8 months, I hope it’s as easy as riding a bicycle.

So, what news doth thou bring? I PASSED!

Thank you, yes, thank you, please, feel free to throw roses at my feet…

But seriously, I’ve been happy dancing around my living room calling and texting my family for the last hour.

I move Tuesday, start my first work shift Saturday. I will eat lunch and go pack now. I want to celebrate! This writer is stoked for summer!!

P.S. I’m starting a new project. Hopefully I’ll have details in the next month or two so stay tuned!

January & February Highlights

So. today is March 1st and I started thinking the first 2 months of 2013 have already been ridiculously exciting. This year has been the most transformational year of my life so far and I still have 10 months to go! Here are some of the exciting things that have happened to me so far this year!

1) I FINALLY went on my honeymoon! Two weeks of beautiful, sunny and hot weather in Cancun, Mexico at a 5 star 5 diamond resort! Totally worth every penny spent!

2) I paid my 200$ deposit for my seat at University!

3) I started a blog! I finally let Alice loose into the world and this is an exciting prospect!

4) I also started twitter! Who knew the little 140 character tweets, as they are called, could be so much fun!

5) I started a book! Something I never dreamed possible in all my life. It’s almost finished too!

If this is what can happen already, I am excited to see what will happen throughout the rest of the year!! Here’s to pursuing your dreams and reaching for the stars because this year has definitely been like that for me!
