Moving to the A to the L.

Tomorrow I pick up my life once again. I'm moving to Alabama to teach at an outdoor education program. The anxiety I'm feeling right now is quite similar to the anxiety I felt prior to working at Sony. Will they like me? Will I do a good job? Will I enjoy my work? Will I fit in?

It's kind of like the first day of school except I always knew I was going to like school. Even if there was a class that I wasn't going to enjoy, the first day of school was always fun. The first day of a new job is often kind of difficult. You have lots of questions and don't want to pester others with all your questions but have to wrestle with your need to know the answer.

Not too mention this is a career change too. So much for the music business. At least for now. The other night I got into a big long discussion with my mom about iTunes because there are artists who are actually withholding their music from iTunes because of various reasons. I still find it fascinating and would love to write about the business--but I don't think I'll ever really be working in it.

And then there is the part where I have to pack and unpack all my stuff now and in three months. Though it's all packed now--I have to unpack it tomorrow and then repack it again in November. Moving every 3 months is so aggravating.

It's an exciting time in my life. I can't help but be excited, anxious, and terrified all at once.
