  Hofstra Law did not accept me, but offered to place me on a waiting list, which I accepted.  Next up is Rutgers.  I should be receiving a response from them sometime this week or the next.  Rutgers would be optimal due to its short commute from Staten Island.

   

  I completed The-Pit: Level 0 Improv Course.  Level 1 begins in two Thursdays.  I’ve been looking more into Stand-up comedy schools and have a list of about four to five schools that I will choose from.  I’m a bit nervous about that aspect of performance.  I have never made my own joke before, nor have I performed in front of a large audience alone in any capacity.  In theater and Improv I am with at least one other person to support me; stand-up will just be me alone.  Anyhow, I’m a pretty cautious person to start with, so I will most likely end up reading at least one if not several books on stand-up comedy to prepare me before I begin a class.  I suppose that would leave me taking a class sometime in about four or five months.  We’ll see.  My view is, if you do not put a date on it, you won’t do it.

   

  Passing on Jujitsu tonight, going to the gym instead, and then going to sleep.  I need to wake up early to take my girlfriend to Hofstra tomorrow morning.

   

  My flight on Friday went okay, came away a bit nauseated…for two days, but that has passed now.  I will schedule another flight to keep my instrument rating current probably for the Middle of February.  To keep ones Private Pilots License current one merely needs to have a flight review every two years, but to remain current as an Instrument Rated Pilot, I need to do six instrument landing approaches, holds, and instrument navigation tracking every six months.  My problem is, I get nauseated after about two approaches, so I must end the flight…sometimes I can get three in.  So no doing it all in one shot for me.
