OR vs CA

12/5/11 01:10 am

My plan was to move back to California this March, but I just figured out that tuition will be $200 a unit until I've been back in California for a year. *sighs* This means I have to stay in Oregon until I finish my prerequisites for Cal Poly Pomona and the rest of my AA classes. That means a few science classes, political science, and some math.

This won't change my plan to begin my program at Musician's Institute in October. Actually, it works out perfectly because it takes a year which means I will get back my CA status for cheaper tuition in time for my BA at Cal Poly Pomona.

In the meantime, I will take some music, theater, and art classes along with the classes I NEED.

Boring update, but I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that I won't be in CA. Plans constantly change....

Horoscope <3

11/7/11 12:28 pm

Stop worrying about things you cannot control. That's one of the cosmic messages streaming into humanity as the red planet Mars in Leo forms a dicey opposition to Neptune in Aquarius (4:35AM PST). Not all opposition or polarity aspects are negative, but it is hard to sugar-coat this one and make it sound pleasant and user-friendly. First of all, these Mars-Neptune 180-degree link-ups only happen approximately every two years. Therefore, they are fairly rare and that makes them more potent. Generally speaking, sparks are flying in a wide variety of relationships. The partnerships can be romantic, business-oriented, friendships or simply new contacts. Nonetheless, Mars is bringing strong desires, passions and intensity into the picture while Neptune - striving for bliss and universal peace - is more likely to activate feelings of sacrifice and uncertainty. The combination usually winds up creating a mishmash of chaos in which interactions with others are more probably nebulous than sensitive and calm. You may still try to tweak this Mars-Neptune sky pattern into giving you added charisma and personal magnetism. Being more psychic and imaginative is another way to bypass the more discordant nature of this celestial tug-of-war. The late-evening vibrations are more conducive to experiencing improvement across the board since the Moon is approaching an upbeat, enthusiastic parallel to Jupiter (forming exactly at 1:39AM PST on Tuesday). Note: Start preparing for Neptune and Chiron direct stations on Wednesday November 9 and Thursday November 10 - including the Full Moon also on November 10.

Plans

11/6/11 12:19 pm

So much up in the air, and it drives me crazy.

First thing is I care more about music and touring than any other goal. Long Beach is so cool, and the weather is better, but we need to be close to Giselle's dad so I can easily spend time with her, tour, work, go to school, work on music, and travel. I don't believe that having a child means you need to limit your dreams. Finding balance enough to work a little or a lot at all of the above is always the goal.

The professional musician program here is great, but I am thinking that studying at Musicians Institute in Hollywood would be an even better idea. Especially since I am moving back to Los Angeles and whatever networking needs to be done should be done there.

Of course, I am also going to work on my BA in communications. With the possibility of LBC out of the question I need to figure out what school would be best. Ugh...I hate traffic and I hate driving.

I will be missing Oregon like crazy as I have every other time I've had to leave. It just seems like life tends to pull me back to California no matter how much I try to get away. Maybe when Giselle is off to college I can go where I want? Maybe work and family and friends will continue to lure me back to Los Angeles? I would love to end up on the island again someday, too. :( I am so young though, and moving to the island or off in the country somewhere would mean skipping out on academic and creative goals. I am not ready to settle there yet, but yeah, I eventually want to at least own a home there if not live there year round.

Current Mood: discontent
