So the last update I was talking about going to school, so that I could achieve my ultimate goals. I did end up going to look at my choices to continue on with my education. I chose, what I had thought is the perfect school for me. I was offered a scholarship, it was a beautiful city campus and the students were all older going back for their second degrees or just got a later start in life on their first.

So I sat on the airplane, thinking, this isn't going to be so bad! Back at school learning things I wanted to learn and hopefully getting my life in a positive direction. I decided  in order to move forward with these goals I would have to get serious about saving money, loans were a definite but I wanted some type of spending money and my crap-hole $8.00 an hr job was not going to cut it.

So I did what I could and filled out applications anywhere and everywhere; restaurants, retail, babysitting, temp work. Anything! And i finally got a call back from a bank. A bank, I remember thinking to myself, I can make this work. My low paying job to pay the rent, bank job for living expenses and saving up! So I signed my self up for bank training, where they basically make you sit in a classroom while they go on and on about really pointless things, and then you do a few practice runs of what you would do in real bank life and then at the end of the week you take a giant test for 7 hrs.

The day before my giant test I got an interesting phone call. It was a young women looking for an Editorial Production Assistant. For those of you unfamiliar with this, it is basically the assistant's assistant to a movie editor. Meaning I make copies, I file papers, I get them coffee, milk, snacks, red bulls, keep the office supplies plentiful. I'm the editors bitch! But over all is a really cool job. So here I am 12 hours from taking my bank teller test getting this opportunity; but its only an interview, so my heart is beating out of my chest the entire time because what happens if I don't get the editing position? I would be down two jobs.
So I did what any self respecting person in the industry would do, I told the other bank job "later bitches!" And guess what! I walked into the interview and they loved me! So here I sit the Production Assistant to the Editors! So its been a month and I've had to give up my thoughts of going back to school, because they asked me to move to California and be the Post-Production Assistant. It happens quite often I believe but its really cool either way! So I now currently have 18 days left in Pittsburgh.
Its funny, you know how one minute you are on the track you think is right for you, it seems like life might be ok, that something good could come out of what you are doing then BAM! Something you have been working for years for has finally fallen at your feet! It feels good to work hard and to get something you know you deserve. So i will pack up my little car and drive across the country soon, my boyfriend will meet me out there a few weeks later and then we will see what happens after that!

So the last few days in Pittsburgh I have set up a bucket list. Of things I hope to do before I leave the city of Pittsburgh. This is not my home, I am not originally from here. That being said I want to do somethings that I feel I should have done as a tourist or as a person who lived in the city has done. Its funny that I haven't done these things. Keep a look out for what I have to accomplish here before I can start my journey out to California.
