Moving on

I am done with college and I couldn’t be happier about it.

Two and a half years ago I moved down to Tempe to finish my degree and I’m happy to say that I have accomplished that. My work is so much better then it was before and I have so many more marketable skills. I’m also up to my eyes in school debt, but that happens I guess.

I signed a lease on a new place on thursday. It’s a nice little two bedroom in a quiet complex of condos, it has cool stained concrete floors and more then enough room for one. I left work about 15 minutes early on friday to go pick the keys and just as I walked down the stairs up walked my boss. He’s a great guy, but a little random. I had sent him a rough cut of a spot two days earlier and guess what he wanted to see as I was walking out. So I ended up 5 minutes late to the rental agency and was met by a locked door. It’s friday and I was late, I understand but I wasn’t a happy camper about not having my new place for the weekend. I wouldn’t have really moved… the electricity and internet weren’t on yet. It’s just that instead of spending my weekend buying rugs and lamps and chilling, I just got to think about doing all that :|
I’ll post pictures and video or something when I get in this week.

I have so much stuff and it’s not nearly enough to fill my new place. When I moved here just about everything I owned could fit in my car… that’s a glorious feeling. Now I get to buy more couches, a new bed, a kitchen table, something to put my TV on and lots of other stuff. It’s the not the cost of all of it that bothers me… most of it will come from craigslist. I just hate knowing that I own all of that, I really have no need for it all, it’s just odd not to have it. I could just sit in a chair to watch TV, which could sit on a box, next to a lamp I already own. I’m not going to eat at the table but it would still just be weird to not have one… that corner of my place would be empty. It’s just a part of getting older I guess… I’m the one that wanted to live alone for a while.

Most of my little website is gone. I no longer have school work to share, so I decided to downsize a bit. My photos will make it over to facebook after a while and my videos are now on vimeo.
My resume and reels have their own domain: david-hildreth.com

Take it easy,

1. I really like the new format and design! Very clean and business like. I’m looking forward to seeing pics of the new place!
