Month 2

I am really good at updating!

Not a lot going on since my last update. I've had a few more auditions (mostly for student films) and been doing A LOT more background.

I'm getting very tired of doing extra work. The initial excitement of doing it when I first came out here two summers ago (and even my first few weeks out here) is pretty much gone. It's the same thing every day, a lot of really weird and annoying people, long hours, very low pay (if my parents weren't helping me out, there is no way I would be able to pay rent/ feed myself), and most days you are treated as sub-human.

I could deal with it when I knew I only had a few months of it and would be leaving soon, but the thought of doing this for more than another 2 months (if that) makes me cringe.

I need to find a real job.

I am going to get professional headshots done very soon. I think I found a photographer that seems good and her price isn't that bad. Hopefully once I get those I can start getting a few more legit auditions, and I'll be able to start doing mailings at agencies.

I'm still adjusting to being out here. It's tough when you don't really have any close friends around. I've been getting a bit homesick lately.... but I know that there really isn't anything for me at home (except for my pool. I miss my pool. And my birds). All all my friends back home are gone doing their own thing, so I'd be lonely there too.

Eck. Growing up sucks.
