Something worth writing

I finally got a radio job! Yeeeehaawwww! The past couple of weeks have been really,really crazy,because I've been trying to work both at Amp (the LA radio station)as well as at Starbucks and have also taken a trip home to Missouri. Today I've been playing catch up, trying to do laundry (which is a long process without a dryer) and trying to find people to cover shifts at Starbucks when I'm at the radio station. So far, I haven't been very successful today, though I have finished a couple loads of laundry and bought a new planner to write all of this madness in. I'm on the verge of several big changes, and am really excited to move to LA and dive head first in to radio land.

I've said this a hundred times, but I really mean it this time. I want to focus more time on writing. In just a couple weeks, it will have been a year since I graduated from college. In this past year, I've had more change than any other time in my life, and I desperately need to write it down in detail, before I forget everything that has happened. I don't want to forget the people I've met, the obstacles I've faced, or all of the weird and good times I've experienced. I'm trying to figure out in what format I want to write all of this. Do I want to continue to blog and write things as they occur from day to day? Or maybe I should write a fictional story and incorporate events and people and places in to it. I've been trying to think of a theme--maybe something I've learned or some central theme. If anything the theme of my writing should be uncertainty. When I was driving across the country last July, I was excited but a little worried, not knowing what the next day would look like, or who I would be around. Nothing was familiar. That was a very odd feeling. I still feel something like that occasionally. Now, I'm not sure where I'm going to move to, but at least I know I have friends to move with, and I've met all my coworkers and have an idea of what to expect from this job. I'm going to miss my friends at the co-op and at Starbucks. I have a few people here that I've gotten close to, and it's going to be sad to say goodbye. I guess movement could be another theme. I have done a whole lot of moving, and have called several places home in the last 12 months. Home is a lot, though. Home for me right now is where I'm currently living, but also where my family is. Mom always gets upset when I call something other than our family house home, but I have to have home where I am as well. Home is also Mizzou, where I went to college and where I met my very closest friends and gained knowledge and ideas that have shaped my beliefs about the world.

I have a lot of things I could write about, but what needs to be written?

Time for work.
