So, I'm home. Been home since Saturday. I feel better.... although I still have to make many life altering decisions. Like where to go to school next fall, and what to do between now and July 2nd. The options sound simple: Montreal or Saint John. It sounds logical to choose Montreal because I have an apartment whose lease doesn't expire until July 30. But it's going to be difficult to find a job up there with my lack of French. I am pondering the idea of subletting the apartment... but I'm not sure how much of a pain in the ass that would end up being in the end.
My newest idea is to take off for France for a month and learn french. Hahahaha..... I've been looking into study-abroad programs where you go and live in another country and learn the launguage. In theory I could do it.... especially if it's only for a month, then I have all the other time to work. (Not to mention the fact I have a kick ass job for six weeks already lined up.) MY parents arn't too keen on the idea.
That is my new fascination... learning about other cultures. I was scrolling through the Majors one can do at UNBSJ for a BA and my interest was perked by "International Studies". I've started thinking a lot about how I would like to do work with other countries... I would really like to get my certificate to teach English as a second language and try that out for a while in South America.
This may sound really arrogant of me, but I think it would be more rewarding on a personal level than doing theatre. Obviously theatre and entertain is important to society- the whole Break and Games theory. But I really have an urge lately to do something that is more directly influencial to people... I've always been told I would be a good teacher. I love sharing knowledge with other people.
For this reason I am doubting whether I even want to apply to the Film Program at Concordia. I'm afraid that I will end up in the same boat I was in in December last year if I enter into another program like that....
I mean, if I start out in a BA program at UNBSJ and then decide a year from now that I do want to do theatre and/or film and that I was crazy to ever try anything else, than I can always apply to the film/theatre program then and transfer universities. Then at least the credits I accumulate between now and then can be used towards my BFA.
And by staying in Saint John, I could also (probably) work part time during the school year, and continue to help out with SJTC and Second Stage. And also whatever theatre UNBSJ does.
I love Montreal, but part of me is just not ready to leave Saint John... I think that is why I find myself here even though I all my belongings and my apartment at up there.
Life..... I love to overthink things.
