big update is big

Ye gods, I hadn't realized that it had been so long since I posted. Wow. I have been busy, at least. Here's the basics:

Done done done with classes at the community college. I'm not done with school, of course, but at least I'm done with that shithole.

I got into Point Park, and the Conservatory offered me $14k in grants as long as I keep my grades up. Which, since that's my plan anyway, is freaking awesome. And that's not including work study and anything else I get in the way of financial aid from the university itself. So, I'm going to be in Pittsburgh in the fall. Now to work out the details: orientation, sorting out an error with my FAFSA, apartment hunting, etc.

I'm still working at the theatre on campus, but I'm off hunting for a second job, so I can earn some more money. I'm spreading the net really wide, of course, which means lots of retail and waitressing. Hopefully I'll get something, but I'm really hoping for the pirate tavern (no joke) or Victoria's Secret (employee discount!), or something I can wear t-shirts and jeans to. I want so much, I know.

I should be writing, but instead I've been helping the Geekling fill out job apps for himself. If I thought one set was killing my soul, just imagine how two sets is making me feel. *stabs eyes*

I will. They're academics--well, it's a wife-and-husband couple, and the wife's an academic--and so they've been moving around the country for grad school and jobs, but they both say it's a really wonderful small city and miss it enormously. They were both at Carnegie Mellon and loved being a student in the city. M.
