Agents, Weddings, and Jobs

So I actually have some news to write about this time!
1) I had two interviews, I did get the first job, but I decided not to take it, because the wage and distance just wasn't worth it.
2) I have an amazing interview on Tuesday, it pays more than I'll be able to find anywhere else, but the kicker is that it is an hour bus ride, with two transfers to get there, and 12 hour shifts. The 12 hour shifts don't concern me as much as getting there because I'm really good with busing. I don't understand how people just know where to get off!
3) I now have an agent! I signed with Alliance Artist Management, so now I can actually get out there, get some experience and make a little extra cash on the side! I'm really excited about that one.

So it's been a good week so far. I'll probably just be an extra and that kind of stuff, but it'll be really fun to get to be on a set and see how everything works.

Also, my best friend got engaged recently and asked me to be her maid of honour! I am so thrilled for her and for when the wedding comes. I've never got to be part of a wedding party before so it's going to be really exciting!

Interview!

So I was in a job slump for awhile, but yesterday, I got two calls for interviews, and I had one in my voicemail today!
So I went on the first interview at 9am this morning. It was for a hostessing job. I feel like it went well, but he did most of the talking, so I hope I wasn't supposed to be butting in... But I'll find out about that on Tuesday. It's only part time too, so I could get a second part time job to balance it out.
The second job interview I have is next Tuesday. It's to be one of those people that stand on the street and ask for donations, or people to sign up for World Vision, or another non profit charity. I think it'd be pretty cool, to be outside all day, and campaign for a good cause.
And the third job is to be a cashier. Pretty boring, I know. But it is the closest one to home, and from the looks of it, it might pay more as well. But I haven't even set up the interview for this one yet so we'll see.
But things definently seem to be looking up in that aspect atleast. Plus, I got up at 7:20 today. That's about 4 or 5 hours earlier than normal haha. And it feels good. I feel like I actually have an entire day now and I can go do things and be productive.

Hope your week is going awesome too!!!

Counselling...

So, I did a telephone counselling session today. They just call and talk for an hour, like a real appointment without actually having to go anywhere. I thought I wouldn't like doing it that way but it was good. I'm doing it because I guess I just feel a little stressed and depressed lately, and I want to try to make it better before it gets worse. She recommended a couple things that seemed good, she said physical activity would help a lot, and said I should start going for walks. She told me a couple of foods I could try eating that are natural mood boosters, and she also suggested journaling. Sooo maybe that's what this is?
I don't know, I'm feeling good today. I just feel like I have no direction and motivation right now. Like, I know what I want long term, and I kind of feel like I'm just sitting here, waiting to go to school. I mean, I obviously have to work so I can pay for school, if I could ever get a job haha.
But maybe that's it. Once I get a job, I'm sure I'll feel a lot happier. But not having to do anything all day, or having to wake up for anything really takes its toll. Plus, I still don't know anyone here, so that doesn't really help. How do people even make friends when they don't have school or a job? It doesn't even make sense to me.
So, here's hoping I get a call back asap and I can start feeling like I have some purpose, however small it may be. Maybe I'll make it my goal to go for a walk everyday or something. I want to get myself in better shape anyways, so thats a bonus.
We'll see how it all works out I guess!

Family...

Just got home last night around 2am from another weekend away. It was good though. I got to see my sisters who I haven't seen in awhile, and my nieces. We went to the fringe. I hadn't been since I was little, and it was alright. It would have been better if I was dressed for the weather, but stupid me only packed jeans and two black tshirts. So I was sweating haha. And then we went back to my sisters house and had a bbq.

We also went to Sally Beauty. My sister got me a gift card for there for my birthday a couple months ago, so I bought a triple barrel curling iron, and a back combing brush. It was fun. My sisters each got hair extensions, and  managed to get one little piece in my oldest sisters hair, but took it out when they realized they weren't quite sure how to get them in. It made me really miss my family though.

I'm only living in Calgary for a few more months, but still. I think my dad is wanting me to move back sooner, because I've decided when I move back I'm going to move back in with him to save money for school, although the fact that I still haven't found a job is enough to make me worry. Hopefully it'll just all work out though.

No acting news to speak of yet, but maybe one day I'll actually have something!!!

Scams and Rumors...

Alright, so the one and only interview I've gotten so far was for what seemed to be a sweet marketing job. Paying way more than I could get anywhere else and with extremely flexible hours and really close to home. But if it seems to good to be true, it probably is. I decided to google the company to see what they were all about, and what did I find? That they are scammers. So my interview is at 5, which is 3 hours away, and me being too scared to call and "reject" them or say no, I tried emailing them saying I've found a job somewhere else and wouldn't be able to make the interview. But the email address they gave me is an automated email, so I can't actually send anything to it. So I don't know, but I am not going under any circumstances, because I know I'll get in there, and they'll make it sound so amazing and I'll dig myself into a hole haha.
But, on the up side, a lot more places seem to be hiring now. So I've applied to quite a few more. I called one today to follow up, but she said to call back in a couple days 'cause they are just going through everything now. I hope I get it sooo bad.

Anyways enough about work. Have you ever had someone lie about you and spread very untrue rumors? Yeah, sure in high school probably. But we aren't in high school anymore, so it's kind of ridiculous. Especially when the rumors are untrue, and are things that could actually do some damage to my life. It shouldn't even bother me, because the person that the rumor will affect doesn't care, or believe them, but it's still so annoying. I get so frustrated when people believe something about me that is such a blatant lie. I guess this shows how great I'd be if I was famous in hollywood haha.

Home Sweet Home

Just got home from the long weekend at BVJ. I had the best time, but sleeping in my bed again is sooo good.
I messed up my knee and foot pretty bad when I was there, but I guess that's what you get when your running around drunk and not paying attention. My toes look like balloons and my knee looks like I took a chunk out of it. Also, I was doing really good with my savings before this weekend, but I ended up using some of it. So now I have saved $20.34. Eek!
And sadly, I am still jobless. With my luck, someone will call me for an interview today, the one day that I can't walk haha.

Hope your long weekend was as good as mine!
