A Whole Lotta New...

Today was probably the most pivotal day of my life, and if that doesn't sound epic I don't even know the meaning of the word.

Today was a hard day. 

I learned that not only do I have to take more hours than I originally thought in order to complete my degree, but that I will also have to stay in Asheville over the fall semester in order to finish up my degree. 

That may not seem epic, but trust me, it was. 

This single statement turned over all of my plans of going to NYC in September. It also changed my estimated time of completion in my degree. This was really frustrating and especially hard to swallow.

However, I happen to have the best friends in the world. Blake and Roxanne are both willing to work with me about my arrival date into the city. On top of that, Roxanne and my own adopted mother Richie was immediately on the phone all day to help in finding me a way to graduate in the summer. 

Jen was entirely understanding when I told her I wouldn't be able to do her show,more than understand, sympathetic. She is such an excellent human being. 

I am so lucky to have so many people in my life who are willing to help and work with me. I honestly have no idea how I managed these people into my life, but I am so grateful. So grateful.

So I am in Asheville, and will remain so through the entirety of the Summer and Fall. Something I am not terribly interested in, but I will be able to save up so much money in the meantime. That is an upside. I will be able to take my time, raise my GPA some, enjoy my classes, enjoy some life. All things I haven't bothered with in quite some time. 

I am in two classes right now and both of them could not be more exciting. I really enjoy the material, and I am excited to learn from the professors. 

Tonight I get to see a great friend who has already made the move to NYC, and happens to be in town this weekend. Tony Lance! He is such a great person and apparently has a job this summer at a playhouse in Les Miserables. So congrats to him! I also get to see Emily and who knows who else! I couldn't be more excited!

So things went a little sour, but I still have faith in what is meant to be will be. So with that faith I trust in my future, and trust in where I will be after these classes wrap. I will follow my bliss, as Roxanne would say. And I really plan to do so.

Bliss is what's happenin'.
