Look to the Future to Refute the Past

Note to the other Two (everyone else may skip this to read the real post): Welcome to Tuesday~ My day to post, although, I apologize, I haven't exactly been loyal to the posting schedule. I hope that we could instill a reasonable set of "punishments" like we had with the videos. It might help. Maybe it could be that we are required to make a video?? XD


Recently I have been turning a careful eye toward my future. It isn't in a hesitant manner or a fearful one, which is a great turn around from how I felt this time last year but it is still, naturally, incredibly curious.

I really like my job at the moment, but I know that it won't pay my bills for long. Or, at all, actually (I don't kid myself otherwise). It's part time, minimum wage and despite the level of enjoyment I receive from it, it is not a practical solution to my needs.
Thus, I realize I may have to find alternate means of employment which leads me to some interesting conclusions.

1. Although private teaching as I was doing was singularly stressful, the idea of teaching Violin is still overwhelmingly appealing to me. In part because I feel like I may actually be capable of teaching it. For thousands of years students of music, art, structure, politics, everything, were taught through the apprenticeship, the guiding hands of a master or simply someone who had learned before them. There were no videos and it's fairly recent history for books to be self-teaching devices as they are now.
That said, I am contemplating that.
(I have also joined an orchestra in the area, which I will likely be inspired to talk about following it's first rehearsal next week.)

2. Voice acting.
In the past couple of days, the idea of my talents as a voice actor have come up in a severe multitude. I've always loved acting and always loved the idea of voice-acting and I'm honestly considering it.
My first step, I think, is to practice my skills by doing "readings" of various things in several active voices for the purposes of presenting my skills.

3. Job applications.
Obviously, applying to jobs is a grueling, often disheartening, task, but I understand that it is an unfortunate inevitability if I want to attain my ultimate goal-- stable independence.

I have more thinking to do yet, but I think that typing the thoughts out, presenting them as I have allows me some additional conviction.
