So much has happened this month, happy and sad. I have the day off because it's Good Friday. I've opted not to travel home for Easter this time because I just got here two months ago, and I think part of me is still mentally exhausted from that. I'm planning to go back to the Cape for the first time in May, when it'll be warm and lovely. ( Read more... )

The weeks fly by here. How is it already March? I'm ecstatic it is, because that means spring is just around the corner, and I've been told that spring in New York is something to experience. I must say, I'm looking emphatically forward to it. In other ways, though, it feels like forever since I moved here. What does Mom and Dad's look like again? ( Read more... )

I know, I know. I'll want to have a record of my feelings and experiences someday when I'm looking back on this move to New York, so here I go, and let's hope I can still remember all of what's happened between now and my last entry ( Read more... )

We got our apartment! I spent 13 hours on a bus (actually, four buses) yesterday and the day before to get to and from NYC to sign our lease. Oh my god, I am officially the co-renter of a wonderful and amazing Hamilton Heights apartment. Eeeeeeeeee! Right after signing approximately 45,756 forms, Eve and I went to test out mattresses at Sleepy's! I ( Read more... )

On Monday, my adventure began bright and early at 8 a.m. I drove to Hyannis with Dad, took the bus to Boston, and caught the Delta Shuttle to LaGuardia. There, I met John, the Williamses' driver. He was the perfect welcome to the city -- so nice and very knowledgeable. He used to be a cop, so I felt very safe driving with him, both because of the ( Read more... )

Oh my god. This morning at 10:30 I got a call from a number I didn't recognize, but the caller ID said New York, so of course I answered. It was this very friendly man named Michael from White Williams Holdings calling to ask if I was available for an interview later today for a position as a publishing assistant that I'd applied to via Craigslist ( Read more... )

Well, no good news yet, but I've been applying to around 3-4 jobs per week as I come across new postings. Since my very first applications on November 9th, I've gotten two emails back saying that positions have been filled. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be a cue typist for ABC, although that would have been awesome. The other rejection was from ( Read more... )

*clears away cobwebs* Hello! I've decided to start blogging again. Why, you may ask, after so many dust-ridden months of silence? Let me tell you. A well-worn but dearly loved chapter of my life is coming to a close, and I'm looking to start a wondrous and exciting New York City chapter as an editor/publisher. It'll be a monumental change for me ( Read more... )

Today is the saddest day ever, because tomorrow, very early, I leave Paris. I am currently avoiding printing out my boarding pass because I am hoping that somehow that will make leaving less real. To distract myself, I will now recap things I have done since my last entry. I'm sorry that these last few entries are an abomination to the concept of ( Read more... )

What have I been up to lately? The better question there is actually probably what HAVEN'T I been up to lately. Since my last entry, I have (in no particular order) taken two finals; turned in a 10-page dissertation on the life of Antonin Carême; been back to the Long Hop (a bar) twice; gotten crêpes at 2am on the way home from said bar; visited ( Read more... )
