What would a trip be without a few bumps in the road? Well, it would be really smooth and I suppose maybe a little boring. Planning my move to New York has been a bit bumpy but I am still on target to arrive at my destination. I found out a little over a week ago that the dates of the courses have been changed. The classes now start on July 10, the date I was originally flying out on. So, I had to scramble to rearrange my flight, my housing, and everything! Now, I flight out on July 7, yes, only a week from now! Yikes, I'm not mentally ready. I guess July 7 is coming whether or not I'm ready for it. I'm getting there, though. I need to reserve a car for a few days until my car gets to NY and pack. Those are the 2 big things. Everything else I need to do is a lot of minor details but I don't want to forget anything. Add to all this that I have been sick and slowly recovering since Sunday.
Well, this will probably be the last time I post a blog before I get to NY...so please remember to pray for me as I finalize all my preparations. Thanks to everyone for supporting me!

The Countdown is on
As you probably know, I have been wanting to live in New York for quite some time, and have been actively pursuing it for the last 2 years. First it was for my Master's degree in Psychology but because of financial difficulties, things didn't work out. To make a long and frustrating saga short, I decided to change careers and go to the Connecticut School of Broadcasting. I auditioned in February, got a call-back and interviewed in March. I was accepted to the school in April. Classes begin July 17.
So, here is my itenerary as of yet:
July 10: Fly to NY
July 17: Classes begin
September 11: Last day of classes
Obviously, there are a lot of gaps thus far but I am sure they will be filled in quckly. I am really excited about this endeavor but also a bit apprehensive about the unknowns. The 8 week program focuses on every aspect of broadcasting--from operating the cameras, to directing, marketing, and hosting. At the end of the program, I will be working in conjunction with a professional in the broadcasting industry who works in the area that I am interested in (primarily, sports broadcasting) and that individual will help me find jobs or internships. Here is where the "unknowns" come in. I have no idea where I'll be by the middle of September. If they can hook me up with a job that allows me to live in NY, I will stay there (though this option is unlikely). If I can get a job or internship in the Bay Area, then I will move back here (more likely). At this point, I don't even know what I want! So, pray that I won't stress out and that God will lead me to the perfect situation. He already has that situation set up, I just have to let it come to me, and be patient!
I really want to keep in touch with all my family and friend while I am away, so send me emails of encouragement, keep me up to date on your lives, and check my blogs often. Go Yankees!
