A few people keep asking me what my plans are.
PLANS?
This is a word I do not know.
Four years ago, my plan was to make it in Production, live happily ever after in Los Angeles. (I guess I actually did that but…that whole life expectancy of 55 years in that part of the business changed my mind a bit….).
One year ago I moved to New Zealand in hopes of fun, adventure, and an even more bohemian lifestyle. (again, tick that box. I’m so happy I made that scary choice!)
Right now I’m floating along. I’ve been back in the USA for about a month and it has been amazingly awesome and at the same time very weird. I miss many things about New Zealand (including Nate who is still there for a while longer). I was originally going to go back in October, but those plans are changing some. Nate and I want to do what’s best for our relationship and us for the long term, and not just give in to doing things on a whim right now because we miss each other.
In the interim I’m spending a bit of time all over the states and seeing faces I’ve missed terribly while I was isolated on the underside of the planet. :D
Right now I’m in Austin with Nate’s sister and having a grand old time. Next up I think I am going to hit up Denver and hang out with some of Nate’s old friends from when he was living there. I’m trying to give all cities a fair shot for when Nate and I relocate back to the US. It’s tough because my heart is in So-Cal BUT, I’ve always been one for new unPLANNED adventures. haha I’m going to be doing some exploring to figure out the pros and cons of various places.
Oh, and I’m going to med school when I get back. I don’t care if I am getting a little bit older to be doing that. It’s time I stopped fleeing from my natural desires and gut instincts about what I want to do with my life. I’ve done far scarier things….right? RIGHT?
So really….here are my plans:
1) Be with Nate, living in the same country in the same city.
2) go to med school.
Look ma, I’m planning for once in my life…sort of.
:D
