In the blink of an eye

It's funny and weird how things can change suddenly.

I got an e-mail from one of my instructors with job listings which she usually forwards. So I took a look at it and came across an internship thingy in Los Angeles for some film/music public relations thing (I can't really say much because the listing didn't say much to begin with. There was something about "Please be an organized self-starter." Ehhh?). I sent them a cover letter and a resume and didn't think anything would really happen. I just didn't take it that seriously.

A few hours later, I'm at YouthCO, finishing up the second film when I get this out of town number. I answer it and of course, it's the people that I sent my stuff to. They wanted to schedule me for an interview next week on Tuesday, which I was kinda, "What?!" and really surprised at, but I scheduled it because I'm not really good with surprises like that. And now I'm looking at plane tickets and trying to find a place to stay.

Sigh... I don't know what I'm getting myself into. I don't know if I should go, or how long this internship might be or even if I'm going to get the friggin thing. Everything's changed all of a sudden, and it's kinda terrifying to think I'm going to be on my own for a bit. Not sure what to do or what this means for my Vancouver life. I should tell my mom.

The thought of leaving Vancouver behind is just... I didn't expect to leave so soon. I have no idea if this is even the right move for me. What if I hate it? I guess I could always come back. Los Angeles seems a bit sketchy to me, what with all the pollution and the gangs but also the whole Hollywood scene.

Should I even go? I still have priorities here that I'd like to finish up (my film, this other student project, teaching piano). Would it be bad if I backed out? Gah. I have no idea what to do.
