Rudolph, he didn't go for that; he said I see through your silly games
I'm finally a college graduate as of November 16. Then I went to NYC for an interview the following Tuesday and got a job. Now I'm in the city, having started December 3rd as a packaging engineer for a health & beauty company. I really haven't gotten in too deep yet so I have a little down time, and for some reason my friends page wasn't working, so I decided to type my own update. My friends page isn't active enough these days to keep me entertained anyway.
The biggest deal about all of this is that I ended up exactly where I wanted, doing exactly what I wanted for exactly the type of company I wanted. After this happened I noticed a really fantastic trend regarding the relationship between what I truly want and what I get. Every time I really set out to achieve something, I do. Granted, I have been very lucky and had very good timing, but I'm willing to bet it happens this way for others, too. So there's your life lesson, kids, brought to you by Amanda.
The apartment hunt was not as lucky. I mean, after some work it was, but that was way more work than getting this job was. I'm living in really, really nice corporate housing in Chelsea right now, but I only have that until December 30th, at which point I will move to the studio I found in Brooklyn. For $1400/month. I never thought I'd be paying this much for such a tiny living space, but here I am, paying that much for a tiny living space.
In other news, I get to go home for Christmas! And my boyfriend is coming! I didn't think I was going to be able to go and had pretty much resigned myself to that idea, but fortunately my boss is amazing. Maybe I'll see some of yas there, if anyone reads this any more. If not, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year :)
