Halloween Rainbow Mask
Another ordinary day
So it's Monday and I'm here watching some tv. Nothing exciting once again.
Don't get me wrong, I'm watching some great shows and chatting with friends. But I feel so restless. Granted that I'm probably really nervous about this week. What if I don't get the internship. I'm going to have to decide whether to keep looking for internships or packing my bags and head home.
Why am I feeling so blah. I have no energy for anything. I need to snap out of it. Maybe I'll get that korean bbq I've been wanting. yea maybe I will.
Got to cut this blog short. I'm not typing anything of importance.
Highlight of the day:
ordering mexican food and not feeling shameful because of it!
Ah Sunday...
Nothing new today, just been chatting with my friends at Glitter Gutter. Gosh I love those people. Seriously, they've made me being in ny worthwhile.
I feel so separated from my friends here in ny that I can use some company. And boy have they made me laugh and feel joy. And for just those two things, I want to give each one of them the world.
This is a really boring post because my life is quite boring. No really, there's really not much going on. I wake up, heat some food, check my email, watch some tv, chat on facebook, send emails, and head to bed.
oh such excitement. I mean who needs to be traveling to exotic locations when you can live like a monk. Of course, I mean no disrespect to the monks. I'm sure if my goal was to live in those principles, it would be great. But I seek something else.
oh great now i've gotten philosophical.
That is my clue that this post must end. Salute!
Highlight of the day:
chatting with my old chatzy buddies on facebook.
Work accomplished...
So I finally finished my fact-checking/editing test for the Fast company internship. Whoo! I don't like to procrastinate when it comes to important things. Makes me nervous.
I really do hope I get the internship. I'm really thinking of cutting my ny time short (until grad school) if I can't get any productivity soon. I just feel like I'm wasting time, energy and money. If I'm going to do that, I might as well be home with my family.
But I really want to get this internship. I really do!!
Oh I'm so nervous its a miracle that I haven't fainted. lol. ok that's an exaggeration, but you get the picture.
What I need is a magic crystal ball so I can look into the future. yes that's exactly what I need. Hmm I wonder where I can get that?? Any suggestions?
Highlight of the day:
sending my test via email.
Loss of Dignity and one battered knee...
So today was one of the most important days I've had since I've been here in NY. I was going to do my best to avoid anything from hindering the day. Why, you ask? I had an interview. A very important one at a job I really really want. Have I said "really" already?
Anyhow, I put on a dress, my black mini-trench coat and stockings. Being NY I didn't want to chance wearing heels all the way to my interview so I packed them in my briefcase and put on my converse. I'd change when I got close.
Once I get there, I change into my heels and give my name to the front desk. Finally, I'm in the lobby and have the interview. It's absolutely great. I feel confident and have further reinforced the fact that I really want to work there.
My dear friend Gabby works on the same floor just across from the magazine I applied to. So not only will the job be absolutely fascinating, but I'll get to hang out with her like old times in grad school.
Anyhow, we decide to have lunch together later on. So having time to spare, I head to Barnes and Noble and just relax. Finally, my friend texts me so we can have lunch. And here I am walking towards her building. And right when I'm crossing. What could possibly happen? ....
I fall down right in the middle of the street. End up scraping my knee pretty bad. But it does not end there. When my friend sees my knee she recommends we go to the bathroom to clean it. Sounds great right? Well that's what I thought until the front lobby personnel call in two men to come and aid my knee. So they take me up to 29th floor (where I had my interview and my friend works) only to patch up my knee there. I could not be more embarrassed. Really I could not!
Anyhow, lunch with my friend Gabby was GREAT! I'd miss talking to her like we use to in grad school. Here's crossing my fingers that I get the internship. :)
So this basically concludes the day. Overall it was not the worse thing to happen to me by far, but it wasn't the best. lol.
