I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my future. These kinds of things happen when one is facing the prospect of graduation from college, which means that the “real world” looms on the horizon. I have until September before I have to figure out what to do in that “real world”, at least, if none of my dream job scenarios come through.
In the next couple of weeks, I’ll hear from the places that I auditioned for a couple of weeks ago. My application to Western Illinois University is being processed. I know I have a job from May to September, but after that, who knows what I’ll be up to?
I’ve thought of a couple of other options, but what do I really want to do? I want to be able to create things. I want to found my own theatre, but the people that I really want to do that with won’t necessarily be available come the fall.
I also wouldn’t mind being able to write full time. Or play poker. The one thing I want to avoid is working a traditional nine to five. Which probably isn’t a bad thing to not want, mostly because, at least in Michigan, there really aren’t any of those available.
My girlfriend just got an internship, though. So there’s some hope in Michigan, right?
