It's started.
The long goodbye as I make my way off to college--in two months.
But even though my departure is two months away, I've already started a list of all the people I need to see before I go. With two jobs and the human necessity of sleep, it leaves little time for socializing. After looking at a couple trips, work events, and specified social events, I've got about two weeks (which I'll be working 50 hours during) to spend with people in the cities.
With a life like mine, people come and go fairly quickly, but each person makes an impact. Theatre creates a unique bond between people. Three months of intense, closeness and then you rarely see each other. Not that you don't have anything in common, or you don't enjoy each other's company, but the fact-of-the-matter is theatre people are busy. Always hopping from one show to the next. Along with theatre people, my coworkers all play a huge role in my life as well, but we're always working--either with each other or at conflicting times so hanging out outside of work becomes more of a challenge. Then comes family and family friends, the people that tend to see me only at holidays--if then--due to my ever challenging schedule.
College is going to be a new fun adventure, filled with new people and experiences. I am in every way ready to go. In fact the clock seems to be moving slower than usual just to make me crazy with anticipation.
So in light of my home state, I'm starting my goodbyes now. And two months from now I'll be getting in the car and on my way to my new life.
((ps if you're reading this and want to see me before I go, text me now so I can get you in my schedule))
