Step 1. Get the Job

CHECK.
Well, it's not really a job, it's an internship -BUT- it is an internship with a pretty decent stipend and that is pretty darn close to a real grown up job.

The Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts has offered me a four month internship, which is a fantastic opportunity for me. But, it also requires me to move to Santa Maria for four months, where I will probably be renting a room and having to actually be entirely accountable for myself for the first time in my life. BIG STEPS HERE PEOPLE! I'm a little petrified, and I think that is why I'm not more excited about it. I'm afraid I won't have the skills I need and all these little things, but the reality is that I'm not supposed to be perfect, I'm just supposed to be willing to learn that is why it is an internship!

So, now I have a little over a month left at home and I am resolved to enjoy it and all the people that I will miss like crazy while I'm gone. Who knows where this will lead, maybe I will get another job (or maybe the Steppenwolf Apprenticeship...) and I won't be back. This is an exciting and terrifying time of growth and change, I'm thinking it's time to lean harder on God than ever before.
