It Never Ends, Does It?

So, I am at that point in the summer in which I completely tense up and freak out about everything. JJ and I haven't found an apartment, I don't have the money to make a security deposit even if we did find one, and I am just a bit short on the rent for next month. Financial Aid is still keeping me out of the loop on the progress with my aid awards and loan status, and I can't for the life of me think of how to continue the script I'm working on.

I've tried several exercises, like taking a chapter or a scene from a book and re-writing it as a section of a screenplay and sitting down at the laptop and writing short scenes revolving around the first item or object that comes to mind (the first one I wrote was about a steak - a poisoned steak!). These are all good and well to get practice at writing, but it really hasn't gotten my creative juices flowing in terms of writing the screenplay for my advanced project.

At the moment, the best thing going for me is that tonight, after the Trainer meeting at work, I'll begin my bartender training, which will continue tomorrow morning, and hopefully culminate with my being fully trained to tend bar by the end of next work week (next Wednesday). I'm only hanging on here because I need the money with some modicum of desperation. As soon as I can find something better, I may be inclined to take the opportunity and jump ship to a higher-paying job. For now, though, we'll see what we can do and take it one day at a time - as though time comes any other way ....
