New job

A couple of months ago I was freaking out over school. I knew I wanted to do something in the music industry but I couldn't find any schools that could help me learn more. I panicked and thought that I wasn't getting anywhere...turns out I was wrong. Last week Melissa & I became Confront Magazine employees. Our job as correspondents include interviewing artists, writing reviews of shows and cds, among other things. I've never in my life been so happy to get hired for something. My first assignment was to write up questions for the band Spiral Beach for an online interview that would be featured on the site in the near future. After that Mel & I were assigned to the Taste of Chaos show where we would each be interviewing two bands. I chose Thursday since I know a lot about them and Cancer Bats. On top of that we were contacted about doing an interview with none other then The New Cities next week for their upcoming album. I've always loved writing but I never realized I could intertwine it with music and create a dream job.

I've also asked to interview Thriving Ivory on April 19th. If it works out I can honestly say I'll be the happiest girl in the world. They've been one of my absolute favorite bands since I discovered them in Cape Cod back in August. I can listen to their album over and over again and never get sick of it. Every time I listen to them I get goosebumps and it never ceases to make me ridiculously happy. I have so much to ask them if I get the chance. As Mel has said so many times, it finally feels like I'm headed in the right direction. Maybe taking some time off from school was the smartest thing for me. Taking a break has given me the opportunity to try things out.
