I’ve been sitting on this bit of news for a while but now that I’ve sealed the deal on leaving it seems time to write it up.
I’m going to be leaving Knoxville and moving to Seattle for at least 10 months, maybe longer, possibly forever. I got accepted to the National Student Exchange, which is sort of like study abroad but…not abroad. Anyway, I’ll be going to the University of Washington from September to June and I will do my damndest to try and weedle my way into state residency and a transfer to UW in earnest to finish out my school career.
Now that I’ve got all my classes registered, an apartment lined up, funding secured and I put in the notice of moving out with my current apartment, I feel secure in believing this is a real thing that is going to happen.
There’s a lot of reasons for the move west. It’ll be better for my career as an actor and comedian with a lot more venues and industry connections to be made; I’ll be closer to my girlfriend while she’s in grad school; I’ll finally get the chance at living in a real Big City, my heart’s desire since I found out there were no 7-Elevens in my hometown.
And, with luck, I’ll have more stuff to post about. For real this time. Seriously.
I’m going to be leaving on the big push with my brother and sister-in-law hopefully on August 23rd, to be in Seattle in time for the Penny Arcade Expo, and there will be much fun had by all as we light out for the territories.
Also, a review of Inception will be up shortly, probably the wee hours of tomorrow. Here’s a preview: “Go see Inception.”
