Life in the balance...

Okay...

As it turns out, I only have 3 people total signed up for my two classes so far... Which causes problems. (My teaching job was going to be my main source of income...) If I don't have a certain amount of people signed up for the class, they drop the class, which makes me stuck in this shit job I've been in for the past couple months.

Well, if I was anyone else, that's what would happen.

If this turns out to be the case, I'm out of here, moving up to Vancouver. Work is in abundance there and I can't stay any longer if there is nothing for me here... If that makes sense.

While in Vancouver, my brother and I would be in the throws of planning and putting into works an action trilogy that we'll be shooting in Hong Kong. (I'll tell you more about that later) I'll also hopefully be working for one of the studios out there.

If I end up teaching, that's great, that gives me income and tons of time to actually go to school and get my Multimedia degree and I'd end up filming a couple shorts... But, the big thing is I'd also direct another play, and probably end up directing for the Scera and/or Hale too (which is also extra income... Just a little but extra) and getting my foot in the door to move on to professional theatre producing/directing. Plus, I'd be working on writing a major stage play with two of the state's most prolific and professional theatre producers...

So here I am. My life is at a professional crux. Theatre or Film (I mean, obviously there is plenty of room to do both, but for the time being it's one or the other).

My future for the next few years is all sorts of dependent on whether or not people take an Intro to Film or Intro to Theatre class. Kind of scary, quite exhilarating...

But I won't know for sure about all this for at least 2 weeks... Maybe a couple weeks after that... Still, this is all happening rather fast.

This of course is all developments that have happened in the past day and a half... Love how life works, don't you?

Now, here's the thing: Barring all the wrenches that could be thrown into the gears of either of these plans; I will be happy with either outcome. I'll be content with whichever of these directions my life decides to take... so... the only thing I can do is sit back, hold on and see where I am in a year!

Anyway... I don't know why you should know all this, but now you do!
