Blog 21: Week of 04/03/22

I am trying to remember what all happened this week. There were some out of normal things, but really it feels like I am fully in a pattern of what my weeks look like and what I can expect each week. This “Peyton in New York” probably is not nearly as fun as I had hoped. I don’t know though, I usually just type it up and then post it. I have yet to go back and read them all so it’s hard to tell. It does seem obvious that most blogs are generally the same thing. Something CRAZY this week though was instead of working from home on Wednesday we went into the office to work. So that was CRAZY. I did get a lot more done than normal Wednesdays which is to be expected as I do a lot more when I am in office. Less distractions and more eyes making sure you are working. What if I switch this one up a bit. By now you know my normal schedule of the week, and if you don’t then oh well.

There were a couple thigs to mention. We had our final writing workshop on Thursday and it was pretty fun, we read my scene that I had written, so that means I was the only person who had two scenes read throughout the class. This one was about a college student who found a baby on campus and a detective trying to figure out whose baby it is. I think it was pretty fun and decent writing. I do think out of my three scenes it was my weakest though. On Saturday Andy made banana bread. This is great on many levels; One, I got to eat banana bread, Two, Andy got to eat banana bread, Three, we had this awful stench of fish in the apartment hallway for like 2 weeks and the banana bread overtook the smell. Now our entire floor smells like a bakery. Friday night a group of us went to Mable’s Barbeque, it was good but not nearly as good as when Carson and I went. I think that’s about all of the out of the ordinary.

Now lets talk just about how I am feeling, mentally. It’s April 3, I leave NY on May 6th, so just over a month away. I have really enjoyed my time in NY, but I think I’m ready to move on. Truly I wish I could stay and have a plan for staying. If I had a job lined up and friends to stay with I probably would, but that’s not the case for New York. I also really miss Waco. It’s strange, but I miss HEB, I miss driving around town, I miss Cameron Park, I miss my family (but I still can call them), I miss First Woodway, and I miss my 7:37 guys. I’ve been really conflicted with a lot of things. I think I know what my next plan is; I’m going to move to LA in February and live with Garrett and Dallas. Garrett’s lease is up in February, so that when Dallas and I are going to hop in so we don’t get stuck in some weird housing plan without the three of us. There’s a chance the house will have three other friends of ours, but that’s not a guarantee. But that means that I have May-February with out a concrete plan. I would love, Love, to work with First Woodway for the rest of this year while doing a remote editing job that I had an offer for earlier this semester. Those two jobs would get me a good enough amount to save to feel comfortable in LA for a little while, while also letting me spend time with my 7:37 guys. I’m conflicted because I would come back after saying goodbye to everyone just to leave again. I don't want to keep flipflopping my availability. I guess it could be seen as taking an extended vacation just to leave a year later than expected. But yeah, just conflicted on what to do. I’ve texted Bob twice, but he hasn’t responded. If he doesn’t want me to work with him then I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’m in this weird waiting zone and I fear I will be in it until February, which is a long ways away to not know what I’m doing. If Waco plan doesn’t work out then I will need to figure out a plan for myself to make money while being able to move to LA in Feb.

So yeah, that’s where I’m at. Now I need to get to work on my homework. I have just one assignment left before I can graduate. A 15 page paper. I don’t want to do it, but I must in order to graduate. Bye Bye
