Creeps in this petty pace from day to day

Although I haven’t been writing much about it, my life has been moving forward at an interesting pace. It’s strange, because while I feel like it’s moving fast at times, the truth is, most of my days are spent working from home. I read scripts and write synopses. I also troll the interwebs and read novels and occasionally write. I really wonder how long term work-from-homers do it. There’s such inertia sometimes that I find myself saying, do I really need to do a script today? That lack of caring also may be due to the fact that I’m not being paid….but we don’t talk about that.

The reason life is exciting is because my plans for the fall are shaping up. I’m going to be attending USC’s MFA program in screenwriting. Even when I type the words it doesn’t quite seem real. But it is! I’m going to be going! I’ve been spending a lot of time checking out the area and looking into housing. For a while I was talking to a really nice girl up in Oregon about living together in a 2 bedroom, but the something came along that I just couldn’t pass up. I’m going to be renting a room in a cute little three bedroom condo/apartment. The girls leasing it seem really fun and laid back, and it’s on a gated street (extra-awesome in the crime ridden area surrounding USC). I have to move in the first of June, but on some ways that will be nice – I can easily just uhaul my stuff from the bay area directly into the room without any storage time.

I’m really excited to be going to USC, although of course doubts keep popping up. I wonder if I’ll be good enough or if this will be the best place for me. But then I stop and think about it and realize that I’m going to USC for film school. It doesn’t get much cooler than that.
