Okay so back to the basics. I had set out to write about my life "unplanned" to allow things to happen, and try not to control my surroundings as much as I had in the past. I would say I have definitely achieved at least some part of this.
I had been hunting, planning, working on, doing paperwork endlessly to get an internship. After receiving two offers for internship, I accepted one and turned the other down. A few days later I found out that the one I had accepted fell through and the one I had turned down had already filled their spot. What a life lesson.
I sent an update to my closest friends telling them what happened, and I had officially thrown in the towel. I was not looking for more, I had two more things to look into and if nothing came from those things I was moving on with my life, whatever that meant. I sent one email to a director and she was happy to entertain accepting me as an intern. I sent in my application (which I had forgotten I had already completed) and then she asked for 2 video clips of me playing. I sent her about 8 clips as they were already done and the next day I had an internship. Easy as that.
I guess the message in all of this, no matter how hard I work, how much I put in I cannot control what happens in the end. Perhaps there is a better way of saying that but my mind has drawn a blank. What I put into this world, I am not necessarily going to get out of it. Maybe that is one of the harder lessons I have had to learn in my life. The book I just read comes to mind that even if the world tries to tear me down and rip me apart I need to continue to do what it is I am called to do. Not an easy one.
Speaking of unplanned, I saved my update because a neighbour of ours just told us that they are looking for people in my field in our area. What a coincidence. So I updated a resume quickly and drove it down there and met a lady.
Life unplanned can be alright, sometimes.
