It's been almost a year.
1 year ago I was on here, bitching about how horrible my year had been. Yeah, 2007 was pure shit, but 2008 was pretty sweet. Yeah, I'm still single and trying to figure a lot of stuff out, but many other things have fallen into place.
I'm still at WCMC (celebrated one year last week- my boss gave me champagne!) and it's pretty good. I know this is where I want to be for a while. I don't know if I want to do health care forever- I feel like I'd be better suited for the arts or education (Med school doesn't really count)- but there are times I get really excited, even misty eyed, when I hear about the work we're doing. I'm so proud to be a part of this- can't say THAT working for Macy's. I've gotten to know some pretty cool people through this job, as well as doing some pretty awesome things. In my first year, I helped out at a Badgley-Mischka fashion show, dined on fillet mignon at the Plaza, took over Toys R Us in Times Square and gotten a whole lotta free food, booze and other sorts of swag.
THe biggest thing to happen this year is definitely my move. That is right yall, I am now an official resident of New York City (yeah- got the extra taxes to prove it). I have a pretty damn awesome roomie- we met on Craigslist. She's one more Melissa in my life (I seem to be stalked by them- they're EVERYWHERE!!!) We have a pretty nice set-up. Granted, we live close to the sketchy ghetto area, but not in it. We're close to the subway, grocery stores and laundromat. We also have a great living room- mostly makes up for my tiny-ass bedroom. Standard Astoria- one big room and one small one. One very nice thing, our landlady is pretty good about taking care of things- her attractive, buff sons come by to fix things. :)
I've been trying to be more social. I've started hanging out with people from work as well as getting involved in Alum Associations- both Smith and Uni of Edi. Met some interesting people, reconnected with some more interesting people I haven't seen in a year or more. Of course, all of this is in boozy environments. I have a very nice tolerance at this point. :)
Well, that's kind of it. I mean, there are little things, but the big things are the job and the apartment. So- I'm going to try to keep this updated, but don't hold me to that.
