RL update
Since it's been a bit unclear lately, a brief RL update. I am currently in Syracuse, NY instead of my beloved California. This makes me very sad. But there are reasons and benefits to it. I'm on a leave of absence from college because I am suffering a burnout from schoolwork and need a break from it all. Plus I have no idea what I want to do with my life and so my motivation is very low. I'm currently working and saving up money to go back to California (LA) after Christmas/January because I can't stand another winter here AND I want to go to Melora's shows, DIY and Escapade. In college I was always dying to live out on my own so doing that for at least eight months or so will hopefully give me the independent living and time off I need to go back college in the fall (or longer depending on how it goes). In that time, I really want to look into career options some more as Psychology and me didn't really work out. I think my problem is I have a lot of interests and my skillset is not one that's easily defined into anything so it's hard to find something that really fits me. It's like in fandom, I'm very multi-fannish and I get obsessed with things for short times but I can never really stick with one thing. Except for vidding and that's only a hobby for me.
On the plus side for being in NY, it leaves me closer to my friend
lianri to watch Heroes and The Office when they premiere, close to New Jersey so I can visit
indybaggins,
clayangel and
blackstray in October and drive to Scranton for the Office convention in late October. And seeing as that month also holds my birthday (which is perfect for getting early/same day birthday presents of TV DVD sets), it should be an awesome month. Besides that fact that I won't be in California which I miss SO MUCH OMG. When I go back, I'm going to hug the first palm tree I see, I swear. And appreciate every single day in MY STATE and my city and in the warm California sun. Everyone commented last year how happy California made me and how much I appreciated it and so no matter the bad that happened last year, I still regard it as one of the best years of my life.
I suck at comments lately as what always happens but know that I'm reading everything and am so thankful to have such an awesome Flist. Nothing like coming home each day and getting in a good mood reading LJ :)

Good luck with whatever you decide. If trying to save money, perhaps you can try community college for your basic credits and then transfer once you've figured out what you want to do. I sometimes wish I had done that.

Yeah, I might do that. We'll see. I just need year off first.

The two things that came to mind when I saw this were:
1. Some kind of TV critic/columnist.
2. Film/video editing.
Also, I agree with
because I can't stand another winter here
:D Yeah, I know it can really get to you. Save a few years when I lived in the NYC area, every other winter of my life has been spent in CNY. When I was a kid, it was pretty and fun. But now, I find that I start dreading winter with the first warm days of Spring. Right now I’m about ready to crawl out of my skin anticipating that first day when the temperature doesn’t go above 40. But then when it actually snows, I’ll be OK with it. Good or bad, there really is no place like Syracuse when it comes to winter.

Yeah besides last year, I've had to deal with every winter (remember the 93 snowstorm? As a kid that was fun.) and it's gotten to me over the years. It really is unique here although for me it's bad.
