So last Monday was the 30 day mark. I allowed myself a one day check of facebook and to check in with people. I did feel kind of left out of a lot of things lately because most people depend on facebook to communicate important things to lots of people at once. I also found out that notifications only go back 1 week, even when you click on "see all notifications". So from now on, so I don't miss something important, I'm going to give myself one day a week where I can just jump on once that day and clear out pending notifications. No chat, no posting, no commenting. Just jumping on to see what notifications I have.
On that note, I don't really feel the same need to check it other than the hoping I'm not missing anything important. I know there are some people who still arn't aware of what I'm doing, so they're still sending me event invites and messages. So to them, I am truely sorry for missing the memo.
But unlike before, when it had become apart of my morning ritual of jumping on my computer to check facebook before I went to work, I don't feel like I really NEED it like I use to. I feel like I've become a bit more productive at work without that distraction.
That being said, the need to get on with being an adult it stronger than it has ever been. Jumping in the shower in the morning, and ending up having the rest of the family in the room with me because we only have one bathroom. Not really having a space to myself other than my car. Feeling like I'm a sheep in that cattle shoot as I drive to and from work each day because it's the same thing day in and day out. Things need to change.
Confirming today about the Saturday morning drama class I'll be teaching (whether they still need me). Confirming whether I'll still be assisting Lewis Shaw with his smallsword class on Sundays. Checking in with a producer I worked with on the History Making Productions shoot about possible future production assistant work. Once I rework my resumes, will be sending them to several theatre companies asking them to keep me in mind if they expand their theatre schools or need admin assistants.
I think my biggest question right now is the order in which to do things. I have three main things I need to do: Get a new job, get a new living arrangement, get a new car (my Buick is kind of on it's last leg). Question is which order to do these in. I guess in reality I should be working on all three a little at the same time.
For now, just putting away as much money as I can spare right now for emergencie and the other things I'm saving for. Putting my feelers out for any job opportunities and actually pursuing them as opposed to what I've done for the last 4 years. Last but not least, I need to get over the whole not being sure about living with someone I don't know (i.e finding a roommate online).
ALSO! Got back from the Winter Wonderland Workshop over the weekend. It was a fantastic time!! My schedule of classes ran as follows :

Didn't get any new shinies from Merch night, but got to see what everyone was working on and got to see a lot of people I havent in quite a while. Also got to work on a great Musketeer Melee with Ian and the gang which we filmed on saturday night and can be found on Facebook somewhere I'm sure. To all those I got to see and new friends I made, thank you for a wonderful time!! To the teachers I got to work with for the first time this weekend, thank you for everything and I hope I get to work with you again in the near future!! More from WWW in my next post.
