Welcome friends.
Today I begin this journal to help me understand the happenings of my life and of this journey. I am headed to New York to attend Sarah Lawrence College to acquire my MFA (masters of fine arts) (or as one particularly eloquent stagehand put it, "MotherFucking Arts).
I don't start school until September third, don't head to New Yorlk until August 23; but this feels like something that needs to start now, if nothing else, just to provide a catalogue of all I'm reading in order to prepare myself for the upcoming year.
This initial post will lay a little groundwork in case any new readers stumble on this.
I am twenty seven years old, and have spent the last five years working in the entertainment industry as skilled labor, read as Stagehand. That whole time I harbored a desire to be a writer, a notion the has yet to leave me. With that in mind, I set off for school in order that I might glean some skills in the playwrighting arena.
That being said, so far my encounters with SLC have been less than stellar. My living quarters look quite awful, and I'm wrestling with the food options available... However, I endeavor to remain positive about the experience.
Hence, Off we GO!
(Was that a little cheesy? A bit? I knew it? But I wanted to sound enthusiastic)
