School!

Alright, so disregard my last post. I figured out it is A LOT harder to get the visa I would need to work in the states then I thought. So I am definently still going to school, and then have to make some sort of name for myself in Canada before I can go to California. Which is fine, it'll be a good experience and I'll learn a lot. But this means that I have to still come up with 28,000 dollars.

I got a job though! London Drugs haha. It's all good though, I went in there hoping for any kind of job, cashier most likely, and they want me to be customer service, so that's a little bit of a higher wage, and it'll let me get a better job when I move back in with my dad in December. So right now my shifts are split into cashiering, and then stocking until I get trained up enough to be customer service.

My savings are at just over a hundred, sad I know, and on top of it, I owe my boyfriend almost two grand for rent and groceries. But at least it's just money to him and not the bank or something. I just need to save everything I can, and if it comes down to it, I can push my start date back for school a bit. I would really prefer not to though, so I'm going to work really hard.

Hope all is well in your lives!

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!!!

Cost...

Alright, so I've saved $19.66 now for school haha. Still no job though. I did have an interview, which I should hear back about next week. Been trying to figure out student loans, and moving and everything else, so I'm prepared when the time comes.
I've been trying to see if I can go on auditions and do something to gain experience. But two problems; I don't have a head shot, and I don't drive, so getting there is always an issue.
I'm going to lend some props to a theater group tomorrow, so maybe when I go I can talk to them about auditioning without a head shot, since they ALWAYS ask for one.
Or even better, I could get a job and actually go get head shots done! haha.
