Carmen Electra Sighting!

Ok so I was working this promotion holding up signs for Disaster Movie and Carmen Electra just walks out and starts shaking hands with people right where I was standing.

Day One of Welcome Week

Ok so the whole move-in crew thing went alright and after watching how today went I'm so happy that I got to move in early. I met one of my roommates and she seemed pretty cool, but the other one apparently isn't coming in until next week when classes start. I'm happy with the room and I've come to the conclusion that I don't mind the area although it's not the best place in the world to be living. I feel like I'm writing like a first grader right now, but instead of re-writing anything I'm just going to apologize.

My whole job situation is entirely up in the air right now. I have a promo for tomorrow and Tuesday morning during Good Morning America for Disaster Movie but after that I have nothing booked. I do however have an interview with this one promotional company Monday, I'm waiting for a response back about doing the seamlessweb promo again, and I haven't called Town Hall to see if I can get my job back yet but they don't have any shows until mid-September anyway. But it's better that it's all up in the air than not having any job possibilities like this time last year.

I'm sleepy for no apparent reason and I even had coffee and coke, which is just pathedic.

First Day Back

Ok so this morning when I got on plane number one I was scared to death because that one Spanair plane had crashed the other day and then the sky looked really scary and full of rain clouds and it didn't seem safe to fly in. But anyway, after being on the plane for 20 minutes or so I was fine and outside of my window the sky was pink and the clouds were purple. It was so crazy weird, I wish that I had pulled out my camera for the flight like I usually do but it was in the overhead compartment and I couldn't pull it out mid-flight.

On another cool note the guy at the US Airways desk had trouble signing me in for baggage check and forgot to charge me for my luggage. Never hurts to save $40.

My new dorm room is nice, but I'm still unsure about the area. Not the worst part of Manhattan, but not the safest either. There is also no good grocery store near me and I'm not really in walking distance of campus anymore so now I'm pretty much forced to ride the subway anytime I go anywhere, oh well at least I'm gettting my value out of a monthly pass.

This Next

So I've recently become a fan of the website www.ThisNext.com It's pretty fun, you basically search the internet fashion world for what you consider to be cute finds and review them. You can also read reviews written by others before you decide to buy something, so it's pretty rad. You can check out my profile and picks at http://www.thisnext.com/by/AlmostFamousTori/

Just a little rant

I'll be back in New York in 11 days and quite possibly leaving Louisville for good as well. I don't hate Louisville or anything, it's alright, I just don't feel like I can get what I want out of life here. I need to have something constantly going on around me and I need to always have the ability to be a part of that something. New York was great for that, and probably Paris or LA and anything along those lines would be just as good.

I don't know what I want to do about NYU. I'm definitely going for all of this year in order to get at least get an associates in arts and humanities (or whatever the major is) from GSP, but I'm not sure if I want to continue beyond that or not. This semester I'm taking one of my last required GSP classes, a token English class that focuses on modern drama to look like I'm halfway on the right track as a CAS English major, film acting and screenwriting through TSOA open-arts, and I'm signed up for journalism but I might switch over to French. I have no focus and I'm determined to take as many open arts classes as I can now even if I end up taking too many electives to graduate in four years. I hate that I'm in CAS, I hate that in order to keep my NYU scholarship (not even close to a full ride, but still money I don't want to lose) I need to graduate in four years, and I honestly don't know how much a degree in a field I don't care about will help me.

I have no solid goal right now and it's making it impossible for me to focus on anything. I want to do something sort of creative that pays and puts me in some sort of a spotlight. I would be happy with anything from event-planner to dancer to film reviewer, and that's my problem, I let myself chase ten dreams at once without focusing on becoming great at one thing. But maybe my chasing after everything will lead me somewhere good. It's always better to play the game without a clear strategy than to not play at all.
