Amelia and Julia met me here in Cohoes Sunday evening and we drove down to the city. It wasn't a bad drive but we hit MAJOR traffic on 87 which really sucked, but after trying for 20 minutes to try and find a place to park in Washington Heights we finally got to Karla and Kelly's apartment. Their apartment is GORGEOUS and is just so homey. It really is a wonderful apartment in a great location. We staying up chatting and then went to sleep.
The next day we got up and we headed down to midtown to check out tkts just for the heck of it. Well it didn't open until 3pm, so we kind of gave up on that idea, but we met up with Kevin and then had lunch and Junior's, which was really good. Then we walked to Columbus Circle (appropriate for Columbus Day) and went into Central Park where we met up with Stef, Brett and Aaron. We sat in the lawn and talked for a while, then we met up with Karla and we walked back up to midtown to visit John at work. Then we texted Cori and she said she was in line at the lottery for Next to Normal right next door, so we saw Cori and Bob and then went over to Blockheads for dinner, where Colleen and Hannah met up with us. Cori and Bob won the lottery and then met us there too.
I got a quesadilla and it was really good. I also got a couple margaritas, and while they were really cheapt ($3 for a frozen) they weren't really that good. Then Mike and Dan showed up to say hi to Cori and I talked to them for a little bit. Turns out that Mike was playing guitar for PopArt the musical, which I had heard about on facebook since Aaron McCallister wrote the music for it, who had graduated from Geneseo and whom I had contacted last year about grad schools. So after dinner at Blockheads, we said goodbye to everyone and at that point Julia and her friend had met back up with us. We stayed longer to have a drink with them and it started to rain. Not just rain, POUR. We were out under an umbrella which was ok for a little bit but then it really started pouring buckets and the umbrella was dropping puddles of water on us so we ran inside. Needless to say it was quite hilarious and I enjoyed it thoroughly haha. After drinks we quickly went to the theatre and watched the show. The music was really fun and the pit sounded fantastic. After the show we said goodbye to Dan and Mike and drove back home.
I loved being back in the city and it made me really want to move down there. Just the atmosphere and the people and the ability to more easily find work is so appealing. I'm considering maybe moving in January just until the summer where maybe I can look for jobs and then will hopefully get something lined up for the summer. The more that job opportunities keep coming up, the more I'm thinking that grad school is kind of silly for me to do right now while I am still young and have the ability to travel a lot and not be tied down anywhere. I know that I can always go to grad school whenever, but jobs come and go, and I think what I need to keep doing is keep trying to land jobs and keep meeting people. Networking really is key, and if I can meet some people who can get me in to some of the big gigs, it would really help my career.
This was my note from the universe today, and it really is a good reminder for me, especially right now. Once again, thank you universe.
