Directions

I have had many many plans for my life and where it would lead.  Yet, somehow it seems I always end up not following through on those ideas and instead doing something completely different.  I'm not entirely sure what is going to happen in the coming months, but I have a feeling it's going to not be what I had in mind.

My current job (woohoo retail!) has been promising better days ahead for me for basically an entire year.  Yes, I did receive a pretty hefty raise (yay $1.14!) and yes, I do have more responsibilities which keep me busier.  But nothing has really changed, that much.  And I know I don't want to stay there much longer, so it feels like I'm being fooled into staying.

Another job of mine just presented me with a good opportunity that would result in better pay, but I feel if I take them up on it, it will only mean that I'd have to stay in this area longer for it to really be worth it.  And I want to leave as soon as we possibly can.

That's the big thing.  I love Iowa.  Hell, I titled this blog announcing how much I identify with my home state.  But my biggest goal right now, is leaving Iowa.  My (hopeful) career in theatre kinda depends on it.

I just wish I knew when that would happen.
