I think it's appropriate to end chapter X, the one I started back in June. In retrospect I'll name that chapter, "Adult Adolescence." I'm ending it for a few reasons, cheifly, I'm employed again but also this next chapter feels like it is going to be the tweens/teenage years of adulthood. My weekly Thursday posts are also going to end and move to whenever I can post on the weekends. This new work schedule is making Thursday posts pretty difficult.
Let me first state that I'm not complaining I am really enjoying the new job and I'm quite relieved to be working again but goodness my new schedule is taking a moment to adjust to and so is the accompanying stress. I have had to adjust when and how I workout along with my diet...before I had plenty of time during the day to eat what I needed and workout. My last job had a gym at work so that was nice too. Anyhow, such is not the case anymore...time to adjust.
My car's gear shift decided not function this week too which was very inconvenient...I'm without car and my new commute requires a car, one way or another.
One small gift that I wanted to get for myself for my birthday was a french press coffee maker. I had been waiting to buy it for a long time since I was saving money. Once I found one that I liked (shoutout to Marshall's...$8.99 with bamboo accents) I got it and was looking forward to sleeping in on the weekend, going to the gym, and then having a simple brunch with some dope coffee from my new french press. That plan was sorta foiled since I had to work yesterday but thankfully I made it work today.
Last thing, did I mention that the little ol' film I was apart of for the 48 Hour Film Project got nominated for Best Picture...or how about that I got a best supporting actor nom!? Well all of this is true! Actors get a bad rep for being egocentric and arrogant (sometimes it is deserved though) but I try not to be like that...in fact I might overdue the understating. I feel very self conscious about talking about my successes to most people other than my close friends or family...I tend to just kinda not say anything or really try to quietly "slip" them into conversation if I'm asked about it. Anyhow, I am super excited to go to the Best Picture screenings tonight and then attend the awards ceremony afterwards...I get to be super dressed up and "Hollywood" tonight. I'm actually kinda nervous, not about wining but just enjoying everything. I know this isn't the Oscars, or Golden Globes, or Emmys but this is a big deal to me. Out of all the movies submitted and teams that participated for the Atlanta round, we got noms! And I got a nom! I just want to relax and have a good time tonight...I think I finally understand why the actors I look up to always say it's an honor just to be nominated and winning is just extra. It feels so great to be recognized for a job well done!
This weekend was not exactly how I wanted it to go as far as stuff I wanted to do and get done but I did get to make that dank coffee I wanted this morning and tonight I get to celebrate other creatives putting their best efforts forward. Dilly Dilly.
