My version of 24

24 hours. That's it. It completes a whole day. It is a whole television series. It is a short amount of time that has the possibility to change someone's life.

Well, I am happy to say that last week, 24 hours was all it took to change a big portion of my life. I cannot give away any specifics yet, but I am very excited.

What I can tell you is that I may have gotten the break of a lifetime! I wrote on thursday about my move to LA. I bought the ticket, sent out emails, then I returned downstairs to watch the Olympics for the night. I got ready for bed, but checked my email one last time, and I was floored.

I had a potential job offer in Los Angeles. It just happened to be timing that I am moving out there on the 16th, and the job may have me starting the Monday after I move out there! Could it be anymore perfect? It is only a temporary position till the end of June but has potential to go full time. Say it does not work out, I at least can buy some time to find something else and it allows me to survive LA for a few months instead of really struggle. Outside of that, I cannot say anymore until it is official.

But that is not the end of the good news. I happened to be calling my friends out west for possible housing, and one opportunity fell into my lap. A friend from high school is having roommate troubles as they are moving out of the 3 bedroom 2 bath apt. She called me coincidently saying she needed a roommate starting near April! No way!

I told her I was in need of a room, but for lower rent and near Burbank. It turns out this may well work. I would be paying an ideal rent, not on the lease, and it will last till September. It is a perfect trial to prove if I can make it out there. I have not completely agreed to the housing yet, as another opportunity arose, but I think I will take it.

So here is the new and updated plan. I am moving out to LA March 16th, using my aunt's car to get to LA and have some meetings. On the 19th, maybe to go Disneyland with my cousins. Stay with them until the end of March, maybe start working the week after I get there, and then move to the apt on April 1st. So by the looks of it, I may have the housing, transportation and maybe maybe maybe have a job (at least for a little bit).

All of that happened within 24 hours of me buying my ticket out there! That's wicked crazy! It's is like my own series of the show! Let's just hope it all works out and that this is the right direction for me. Crossing my fingers for good luck! Super excited!
