Thursday, I drove down to Peekskill to give a trial ballet class – I was up for a part-time dance teacher position. I thought it went well; I ended up instead of teaching an entire class doing a half-hour private lesson for one kid. So far, I haven’t heard anything…I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but we shall see.
I’m feeling kind of lost right now (not to mention useless and unemployable)…do I keep at it applying to jobs and going on auditions? Do I go to grad school? And if I do, what do I study? Should I sell out and get my masters in something marketable like Teaching, Business, or medicine-related like I’ve seen other people do? Or do I get an MFA in something I love like Arts Journalism, Dance Performance/Choreography, Musical Theater or (if I wanna be an uber nerd, I looked it up, it exists) get a Ph.D. in Dance History and risk having yet another hard time finding a job? And no, I don’t expect anyone to have the answers to my crazy questions. I’m just venting my frustration. I know the job market is bad, worst it's been in years, but can't a girl get a fuckin' break?
Blah...oh, and another problem...little activity = LOTS of eating and a screwed up sleep schedule.
You're all probably thinking "what happened to Lindsay's sunny outlook and positive attitude?" You can only go for so long before the depressing thoughts start seeping in and taking over.
The only solutions I have are eating ice cream and watching movies...they always make me feel better...too bad the effects are only temporary.
