Feeling home...

Finally, once i landed in nyc after 8 hours of traveling, i made it back to nyc. A funny thing came over me in the can on the way back to my apartment. When i saw the city, for the first time ever, i felt at home. Im not sure if its the exhaustion from traveling or lack of sleep from working, or maybe this city has actually grown on me, but for now, its my homd. Before, it was home because T was here... But now i can honestly say, its home.

Peace, love and a realization,

Air port delays..

Well, after 5 days in minneapolis working with my parents... Its finally time to head back to nyc. My bed is waitib, but so am i. My flight has been delayed so far for 5 hours and still counting. What have i learned? I really dont think i could travel full time... Ever.

Hopefully well take off soon 

Peace, love and ready to leave minneapolis,

Break Downs

So. I had a break down this morning. Total over reaction. About what, I have no idea.

But when I say break down, I mean sitting in my apartment, alone, crying for no reason. Maybe its the overwhelming feeling of change, alot of change in a short period of time. Or maybe its my hormones, but most likely, its both.

But I just sat there this morning, on skype with T (because of course, he is out of town for work)- crying, at 8AM. Gotta love the roller coaster of emotions. I will say, after crying my eyes out for about 20 minutes, I did feel a whole lot better- but what does that solve? Nothing. There was nothing wrong, but maybe just the release of the tears, release of emotions. Sometimes I feel like my tears are everything I want to say, but cannot put into words, they come out all at once, and then I close right back up, building up the tears until the next explosion.

I need to start working on expressing myself more, and releasing my true emotions- something i have tried to work on in the past but always seem to fail.

Lesson for the day: I just have to cry,. and I dont care if it seems weak. Big girls cry too.

peace, love and finding some dark chocolate to soothe myself,

its been a few days

So, its been a few days. And man, a few days it has been. Well... I have put in my 2 weeks notice at my current job and moving on. I just learned that what I was doing, media planning, was not for me. I am not a numbers person, I am no someone who can be behind a computer all day, buried in an excel document. There is noting wrong with some people loving it, because there are plenty of people who love it, just not me. So, on to the next one.

Its a funny story. I had been on the hunt for a new job for a few weeks (so lets track this back to the beginning of June). I had gone on a few interviews, but nothing to get to excited about. The biggest problem I had in all the media planner interviews and job opportunities, was that, in all honestly, I wasn't excited. The jobs sounded exactly like what I had been doing, and I already knew I wasnt happy, so, I know this was bad, but I didn't put in 100%. Totally not like me. But then a friend suggested me to a small recruiting agency to get help with finding a job. I took his advice and gave them a call.

During the meeting with the recruiters, I started asking them questions about what they do... and basically turned the meeting around into a question session about recruiting. And what happened next, blew me out of the water. They asked me if I was interested in recruiting, because they were hiring. Without any hesitation, I said yes. This was an out of body expierance I had never had before. I said yes before I could even think about it, there was a push for me to just say yes. I listened to my gut, came back for an interview, and fast forward to now, I am starting a week from Monday.

Woah. that's all I have to say. What a change, and what an adventure. This would happen to me. I have helped a few of my friends get jobs, and have had a lot of friends come to me or advice on finding jobs- and truly, I loved helping them, so why not make money at something I already know I enjoy?

So whats the lesson I have learned? My gut feeling, sometimes, not always, but sometimes will lead me to things I had never imagined.

peace, love, and excited for this adventure,

Hot

Its hot. everywhere. I sat on a bench yesterday, literally just sitting, and i started to sweat. How is this possible? Well, because the city has basically turned into one big, smelly, oven. Even in the morning, its hot. Blah. Just gross.

June 29th, Day 8: if its hot- I am just going to stay inside as much as possible. its not worth it.

peace, love, and sweaty

Beer Pong

This is in no way deep- or meaningful.

But.

2 years out of college, my beer pong skills are lacking. I use to be a champ. We had a work outing last night, and I thought I would rock out. But, no.

So, June 28th, Day 8: Never, ever, ever again let my beer pong skills get rusty. Its embarrassing, and then looks bad on IU. So, Indiana, I apologize for my horrible talent last night.

Peace, love and struggle Friday,

Microwave everything

Did you know, that essentially, everything is microwaveable. meals from last week, cookies, and even baked potatoes

June 28, Day 7: Baked potatoes taste just fine after 10 minutes in the microwave. And yes, a baked potato can be a meal.

peace, love and scraping for late night dinners,
