I am sitting on a bus on my way to New York City. I am on my way to audition for the New York Film Academy. My acceptance is not based on this audition, rather my worth in financial aid scholarships, and class placement. I am performing 2 monologues. I'll see if I can't figure out how to add videos for you to watch. In a few minutes I will also write a letter for my grant application. My tuition for the 1 year program is $25,000. If I recieve the grant, it is worth $15,000 tuition. I will write well I think. It's an expensive letter. :D I have finished my time with the Sisto family. I am staying with my Uncle Jeff, Aunt Karen and family until I fly home to Utah in a few days. I'm excited to be home for the holidays. But I am anxious about going home. I feel like I have taken 3 giant steps into the path to my future, and going home is like pausing and taking a step back. I have been granted a position at my old job. Sub Zero Ice Cream. I love that place, with an amazing boss, ice cream, and making people smile everyday it's a blast. But I can't stay forever. Hopefully I don't have to stay long. My plan is to work there, find other work, save like crazy. Pay for my deposit at the Academy, save like crazy. Either find a cheap way to live in New York. i.e. Nanny, rent a room from a family, etc. Then move to New York and start working. Or find like 3 jobs in Utah, and save like crazy at home. I just worry about getting into the lull and comfort and ease of home. Anywho. That is the plan. Until I get home, and sit down with my mom( who is amazing at details whereas I am not!)then I won't know exactly where I'm headed. Keep your eye out, I'll keep you posted, and you'll be seeing me around!
