I started my internship on Wednesday and I LOVE it. It's wonderful there, the people are so nice, my boss is amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better first job. I don't get paid, but I only work three days a week. I have today off because everybody else was taking off, so Meredith (my boss) told me to not come in. Score...haha! The work isn't hard, but there's a lot of it. I've already created logos, graphics for magazines and am working on creative campaigns for an organic fertilizer and AAA! It's really exciting :) I don't know if it'll turn into a full-time, paying job, but we shall see. If nothing else, this lady has a ton of contacts she can hook me up with!
Tanya flies in today, but I won't see her til tomorrow. Patrick flies in tomorrow night... I'm so excited! I am going to see The Devil Wears Prada with Mel and Meg tonight! The three M's reunite--it feels SO good to be home.
It was sad leaving Gainesville, and I already miss it. I miss the fact that you're completely surrounded by Gator fans, the radio stations are so much better up there, and the people (for the most part) are really cool--because they're all on your side. But I'm happy to be back in my hometown, with some of my oldest and dearest friends! I feel like my life in Orlando has been somewhat frozen for the past four years...and now it's finally thawing out.
I'm already dealing with a ton of wedding drama. It's been a silent string of occurrences since I got engaged, and it's overwhelming. But I'm proud of myself for standing up for myself, for confronting unpleasant situations and talking them through with the people that I need to talk to. I won't go into detail here, but I was really down in the dumps this morning over a bunch of stuff... The greatest thing is that the people I love, the people who love me, are really helping me out... even if it's not so great for them. It makes me realize how LUCKY I am to have such wonderful friends, who are willing to stick by me even when I'm being a pain in the ass. I've been getting phone calls, emails, IMs, etc from people who make me feel so euphorically happy. My friends are all the proof I need that angels exist. I know that's really cheesy, but it's true.
The next few weeks are going to be insane. With Patrick, Rob, and Tanya in town, there's always going to be stuff going on... then there's the fact that July 7th is the day we officially nail down a date, we take our photos on July 11th and then I have to officially move out of my apartment in Gainesville. Crazy times ahead, but I'm so excited. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I have to find a job somewhere amongst all that... and an apartment...
