I just took back time in my twenties. I quit my job (well, gave four weeks notice). I figured I’d rather be poor and happy than have regrets. Don’t worry, I have something small lined up. I’ll surely miss the lovely ladies in my office, and I feel a lot of sadness about that. For now, I’m gonna go drink a beer and keep telling myself that I’m a dreamer and a go-getter and not a quitter. I finally can…

Today’s weather was just perfect. Not too hot or humid, with wonderful breezes – a reminder that fall is right around the corner. But the air conditioner was blasting in my office and it was a very slow Monday. The highlight of my day was going outside the building to get the mail and having lunch at the wonderful cafe at the law school.

Today was busy busy. I was working on two big projects at work that were due today and tomorrow, and then I got a third semi-last minute assignment. I’m usually not one to stress out too much, but since I’m new, I’m doing things really slowly. And then there was a miscommunication and I had to start my task all over again!

I also had a meeting and a couple of projects to work on, so the hours few by. The best part about today though, was my discovery of the lunch…
Well I survived my first day of a real job, which makes me officially an adult. At one point during the day I was organizing my desk and I stopped and thought I’m getting paid for this! It felt so good to have a desktop computer and voicemail and filing cabinets and other adult things that I never really had at my internship. Space just for me! Now I hope I like the actual work. Although apparently it’s not…
Hello friends. I apologize for my absence. I’ve been busy…. busy making salads and sweet potatoes in an attempt to return to normal eating after my trip, busying shopping for bikes and work clothes, busy filling out paperwork, and busy celebrating with riesling at West End Wine Bar. Why, more merriment after a ten-day celebration of life, you ask? Because this girl is employed! No more wondering where I’ll be working, when my career will begin, of if I will…
