I have since recovered from my anxiety. Especially since I've been the topic of conversation for the past week.  WOW! The corporate world is a woman eating, hungry daughter of a b*@tch! I never thought that some of my colleagues would be so happy to see me leave (well I kinda should have expected that). But seriously there are a bunch of women who are literally marking (eyeing) my position. They can't wait for me to get out.

It's truly been a crazy week. As I try to prepare for my new journey and wonder where it would take me there are a lot of things I still have to complete at work before I leave for good. First up, it seems like I'm the only person who works in this department, I swear I've been on ALL assignments scheduled this week and everyone else seems to be relaxing (something I think I should be doing....after all....I'm leaving in 3 weeks!). To make things worst, after working hard all week I was called at 10pm on Friday night to work at an event that was scheduled the very next day, at 7am. I couldn't believe that no one else in the department was willing to cover the assignment, and what was more surprising was I actually said yes! Truth is, I've always had a soft spot for this company....especially after working here for so long. The job is not my passion but I've grown to appreciate what the company does and it's a fantastic experience. Anyway I managed to complete the assignment on Saturday afternoon  and I was privileged to get the opportunity to meet with some of company's Board Members. After answering questions about the job I had to announce that I was resigning. To my surprise, they were upset. They thought it was a crazy idea and refused to accept my decision. They insisted on meeting with me privatelyto discuss my "future with the company". At this point I was confused, I stumbled home after drinking a couple of beers (okay, maybe more than a couple) with friends. All day yesterday (Sunday) I was thinking about what my future with the company would look like. Should I meet with them? would it make a difference? Does it matter what they think?

Now it's Monday and things seem to feel the same, that is until I received a call from the University stating that I was accepted to study a BA in Film! I'm truly happy. I can't believe I was actually considering to pursue another career other than film-making.....this is what I want to do till the day i die. My plan is to study film and write length scripts in hopes of getting someone to fund the project......my doubts are now buried......I'm not going to look back anymore....I'm a risk taker for life and I'm not giving up! That call from the University solidified everything i already knew. I'm going to accomplish my dreams within 12 months whether people believe it or not. I know my work is cut out for me but I can't wait to take on those challenges.......it's a new day for me and a lot has happened already!
