the places we go...

I got accepted into the "Hollywood Film and Acting Academy". I had the option of starting the September program late or joining in January, I decided to join the September group late and am glad to do so. The program gives free housing to students, so now all I need to do is find a job, which from what I am hearing from the school is easier than it is down here. I have a good feeling about finding a job. I'm not worried.

I thought I might talk about the places we go in life and how that can impact our lives...I was talking with a new friend of mine tonight and she was talking with me about the different places she has gone and every place she visited had a part in shaping who she is today. The same goes for me: Costa Rica, Bolivia, Texas, Panama, all the places in which I have visited for more than a 2 week time period has shaped me into who I am today, but it probably has to do with the people I encountered in those places not necessarily the street signs, jungles and country side. Anyway, one place the I would love to travel to is Italy. I was at a cafe today called "Cafe Duomo" with Italian workers and I loved everything about them. There accent, language, hospitality, cookies, coffee, food. It is all so beautiful! Some day I will go, maybe even film a movie there. ;-)

Well, I am going to do what I always do when I am down about leaving my friends, family and need inspiration: watch a Meryl Streep movie. Tonight is a new one..."...First Do No Harm".

If you have never left the "comfort" of you home state or country, I highly encourage you to do so. Get up the courage to get a passport and go on the adventure of what could be your life. Don't sit around and wait for your desires to come true, cause it won't happen. Get off your butt and go live the life you know you were created for!

living wide awake,
