Extracurricular Activities
It is so hard for me to have fun while I am pursuing this career. Please don’t misunderstand - I absolutely and STILL love what I do. I just don’t know how to find the time to go out dancing, take computer classes or even a random party class with my schedule. I wake up at 6am (7am if the day permits) and spend my day time attending auditions. If I am lucky, the day may end a little early and I go home and clean up some more around my home (moving back to NY has been a process). In the evenings, I go to work. If I don’t get work, I put together submissions, work on music, and anything else that is career forwarding. … it’s wonderfully planned out, however, I don’t have the time to go out dancing on a Friday night and I am so in love with doing that. I don’t have any clubbing friends in New York. All the people I know are in San Francisco, California.
This became even more apparent when I was last in California. I met up with a group of my clubbing buddies. We hopped from club to club and didn’t have to pay a cent. It was beautiful. Wait? Nope. Never had to really wait either. We had the right connections because the clubbing world gets small the longer you are in it. It was fabulous! The great company and the dancing. It was so great to not be away from dance auditions or classes. We were simply dancing. I don’t have this in New York. Sounds weird, but I don’t know how to get started all over again. I guess it begins with simply going to a club, but the company I go with makes a big difference for me. I really want to go and dance. I want to be able to wander around the club on my own and I would like the person I go with to feel comfortable to do the same. That would be ideal for me.
