Bittersweet decisions

  Alright, it was only a few days ago that I was offered a job performing at the Viva Wyndham Resort; they were going to house me and have me help with the teaching/ choreographing of their 14 shows... they were even going to try and find an animation job for Abel!  The pay was more than questionable though.  The magazine keeps contacting me too, but -to be honest- most of the work was going to operate in a bartering fashion... fine, if I didn't have pre-existing bills.  ::sigh::  Bittersweet.

  Yesterday, the roommates and I came to a difficult decision- we were going to split and go our own ways.  Two of the four of us had already decided to leave (one of which returned to the Ukraine about a month ago)... it just left a debt too big for two people to take on ourselves.  Job opportunities keep presenting themselves in the US anyways- too good to pass up in this low-tourist season of Mexico.  It is not as common here to get professional photos made- mostly just weddings... and that is mostly out-of-towners.  It's okay, I definitely don't regret any of this.  It is so nice to get a little more perspective in life... walk in someone else's shoes for a while- understand where they come from.

  I've lined up a few photo shoots for when I return to Houston, and I will work the next 2weeks to book even more.  The internet sure is a handy tool.  ;)

  Life is about lessons, and I will try my best to savor what I have learned here.
