soon schmoon!

Hello, my name is Amber.

And in three and a half weeks, I walk the line.

BECAUSE I'M GRADUATING, BITCH!

It's all becoming very real to me that I will be donning a black cap and gown, cleaning out my apartment, selling a huge majority of my belongings and looking at Portales in a rear-view mirror as it fades into the horizon.

It hit me on Monday when my Sociology teacher told me how many weeks were left in the semester- it hit especially hard when Steph sent pics of the moving van. A lot of things are pacing through my mind. I wouldn't say that I'm much of a risk-taker, but I've done some things this year that I thought I'd never do. I wrote a well-received play, successfully played a character in a play that had ridiculous written all over it, modeled in the nude (still doing that acually), and am about to move over 1000 miles away.

My older sister moved to Tacoma, WA after she graduated high school and moved back to NM in Albuquerque a few years later (I think 3 or 4), my brother lived in Denver for a bit, then moved to Flagstaff, AZ and is currently back in Farmington. My other sister went to college in Albuquerque and is still there working in a dance group/company. My point being, as happy as they are, I want to leave NM and not come back unless to visit. Yes, I know the film industry is blossoming in NM but it doesn't mean I shouldn't see what else is there. Besides, everything is in either Alb. or Santa Fe- neither of which I would like to live.

I'm excited to see what SF has for me.

peace and love
