Moving Again

I'm moving into a new apartment... again. But it's really not that bad of a move. I'm moving within the same apartment building... again. After I move into this new one, I will have lived in 4 different apartments within the same building. HAHA. I just keep moving around.

I actually get the keys to the new place in the morning, but my official big move day is Saturday. Jason's going to be helping me move. :) He also secured me some empty boxes that he found at work and is bringing them to me tomorrow. He's so thoughtful. :P I think he's just finding an excuse to come over so that he can have his way with me though.

I'm going to miss my current apartment. It's a studio, so I live by myself. But in the new one, it's a 2 bedroom and I'll have a roommate. I'm going to get along fine with her (yes, I'm living with a girl) but I'm just going to really miss living alone. It'll definitely be a tough adjustment. But we'll have our own separate rooms, so I can always lock myself in my own room if I need to. And I'm hoping that I'll be locking both me and Jason in there quite a lot! :)

I want to talk more about Jason, but I'm really tired now. And I just wanted to give an update on my life because it seems like I never have time to blog anymore. I used to blog every day... what happened to that? Sigh.

A Change In My Life

I feel like I'm living in the wrong part of the country. I've been talking to several people online, cool guys that I've found in online chats. But all these cool guys live somewhere real far away. Then on the online dating site, the person that was actually interested in me and could hold a conversation lives in Florida (talking about J, in case you didn't get it. heh). I feel more and more that Southern California is just not the right place for me... Which is hard to think about because I've lived here for 95% of my life (I was born elsewhere). But maybe it's time to make a drastic change and move away.

There's something really intriguing and tempting about just grabbing everything and moving to some place else. Wouldn't it be cool to just start completely over in a new place? However, it's also a very scary thought. I would have to find a place to live, a job, new friends. But this has been something I've thought about multiple times this past year. You see, I received my Teaching Credential this past year, but with the education budget crisis, I didn't get the job that I wanted. So now, I have the whole school year off and it's the perfect situation to actually go and do something like move to a whole new place and try something different.

Right now, I work for a big entertainment company that has establishments in both Anaheim,CA and Orlando, FL. I've actually already started searching for transfer opportunities over in Orlando, but I'd be looking for salaried positions instead of an hourly position that I have now. I mean, I did graduate from UCLA with a BA in Economics, have my Teaching Credential in Mathematics, and am earning my Masters in Education that is to be completed in summer 2009. So I think that I'm pretty qualified for SOME kind of salaried job. Plus my 5 years of experience with the company should count for something too.

"Wait, DL, you're applying for jobs in Orlando, Florida? Isn't that where J lives and works?!"
Ok -- yes, I admit that J is a part of the reason for really thinking about this stuff more seriously, but really, it's something that has been in my mind for a while and J might have just pushed it far enough that I want to make it a reality. So i'm not denying that I may be pursuing this because of J, but it really is more than that and I'm doing it for myself. If it works out that moving to Florida makes things with J better, then that'd be great! But it's time that I put my education to good use and do something different with my life.
