Hola, gentle audience.
OK, OK, I know I haven't written for a while. Please don't hate me, my friends, I have been really busy with shows and such, but I'm back and ready to go.
A lot has happened since our last time together. I was in a production of Godspell at my college that I think I can safely call a smash hit. On the last night, we had the biggest audience for any show since I've been in college, so that was pretty cool. We were very proud of our work, and the audiences really liked it.
But on the last night, I realized that it was the last night I'd set a foot on that stage during a performance, and I got kind of freaked out. At the end of this year, I will have to go out and attempt to find a job. I will have to enter the working world where I'm not sure how I'll find insurance, how I'll pay for rent, how I'll eat, basically how I'll survive. I am totally passionate about musical theatre, but passion doesn't often pay the bills, and I have no idea what I'll do for a job. Do I move to a city or hang around and make money first? Do I stay in this town or do I go elsewhere? And the best part is that everyone I talk to asks me the same question: "What are you going to do next year?" and the answer is always the same: "I don't know!!!" Pretty soon, though, there will have to be an answer, and, gentle audience, that's really really scary.
If you have any ideas, please please please let me know!

Isn't it strange how the more people ask you about what you're going to do post-graduation the less certain you are of your plans? I believe I'm working on my fourth set of after-college plans, the first three having been deflated for a variety of reasons. In any case, no matter how many doubts you may have about your future, I am sure that you will be successful at whatever you do because you are one of the most awesome people I know.
