I was struck down this week with a terrible bug that made me vomit more than Linda Blair. I passed it down to my mother who in turn has passed it to my sister, so i’m not in their good books at the moment.
Aside from that I no longer seem to be stuck in this limbo stage of life that i’ve been in for so long. Over the last week I just seem to have figured everything out, well work wise anyway.
I don’t know maybe i’ve just been listening to “everybody’s free to wear sunscreen” to much! But it seems being befell of my recent plague has flushed all the self pity, doubt and misery out of my system.
Maybe it’s a good idea if I tell you what i’ve decided to do. I’ve decided to go back to full time work, although it hasn’t been through lack of trying, I had decided a while ago that I needed more money. I applied for a few positions that I was probably a tad under qualified for, but I figured I’m a quick learner!
I have an interview tomorrow for a job that is a no brainer, but it’s working for a computer games distributor as an accounts manager. I figured there must be some perks working for a company like that at the very least.
Some of you that know me better might know about my hatered for office work and that it seems to be what I always come back to! After reading that you might be confused as to why I seem quite happy about going back to do tha type of work. Well the answer is it’s only till september.
I’m not sure how many of you have kept up with the ongoing saga of my university debate, if you’ve kept up well done here’s a spider medal! I’ll finally put rest to it… I am going!
When I think about it the bottom line is I want a career, not just a job. I think I shocked a few people with this next part (yes there’s more!) i’m not going to study drama. I noticed a lot since leaving college, that there’s not many people out there that care about a drama qualification.
I’m not belittling it, hell no, getting that qualification is my biggest achievement to date. But like I said i’ve lived with it for two years now and it doesn’t get you as far as you might hope.
I’ve decided to get a degree in film production, it keeps with what i’ve already done at college and when I thought about it makes the most sense. I think this is going to be the best decision of my life.
I love acting, I even think i’m quite good at it. But, i’m not great at it. I see the way it should be acted in my head, I can feel the way an emotion should be played. but I don’t think when i act it shows through as well as it’s layed out in my head.
In the final year of college we had a directing and writing unit. we all wrote a 10 minute 1 act play. those play’s were then swapped between each other and we directed someone else’s play.
That was one of my favorite units of the whole course. It’s the only time i’ve ever directed and I loved the whole process, ever since then it’s left me wanting more.
These are the main reasons I think film production is right for me. Plus it’ll give me much more career options after I graduate. And i’ll still get to dabble with acting too, you know i’m gonna cast my self here and there. I already promised my mates cameo roles too.
But maybe i’m getting a tad ahead of myself there. lets come back to the here and now for a second. I stated thinking about how nice it’ll be to have some money again, so here’s my hit list of material possessions i’ll purchasing with the next five months paychecks. I reckon i’ll end up getting two at the most!
- An I pod
- A laptop
- A car
- various DVD’s
- A new DVD player
- A new bed/mattress
- A lazyboy
- A holiday
