For real. So I was a little down after first being excited that I had gotten into Long Island-University Brooklyn, then realizing that in addition to being ridiculously expensive, their writing program is run by second graders. The online literary magazine, run by the head of the department, consisted of absolutely horrible submissions. So so so so so bad. So obviously I can't be going & getting an education there... which leaves City College, the school I was pretty set on going too. But I'm still trying to work out tuition issues...aka debating if I should go into more debt immediately after graduating or defer until I get in-state tuition, all while trying desperately to rack up some scholarships. My point is, the grad school stuff was stressing me out. So I took a much needed break & did some reading at Barnes & Noble & then caught up on the current state of pop music at Virgin Records.
While Mary calls Club 5 her happy place, Virgin is mine. Just stepping into a place with booming music so loud that the ground trembles... it's an amazing environment. Not to mention the free sampling of all the new albums :) Ok so my point is, music saved the day/night. And then I got home to find out that I have another potential freelance job as a MUSIC REVIEWER FOR AN INDIE MUSIC SITE!!! so so so so so cool! I was told to log in to a website with tons of un-listened-to music submissions, and I get to pick which ones I want to review. And then I'll get paid for the reviews I turn in!
Times like these are when I really remember how amazing life can be. For real. I practically jumped off the plane and found a freelance editing job, and have learned about the Middle East in about 2 days. And I've finally realized that my long-term phobia of real-world jobs was so not necessary. I'm loving editing so far, and I'm loving the prospect of continuing to edit and write journalism-ish pieces in the future. Rock on.
