Hi from DC! Thank you all for your sweet comments about my new job! Some of you asked for more details – I will basically be a project manager/program coordinator for a distance graduate program that involves extensive world-wide travel, so I’ll be coordinating travel logistics, managing mailings, helping plan graduations, making recommendations for improvements based on student feedback, and managing work-study students. I’ll be the go-to person for any task that can’t be handled by the program managers and…

Look at this cute usher I found at the wedding! This weekend’s wedding was held at a Santa Monica beach resort – there’s really nothing more beautiful than the ocean as the backdrop for a wedding. The only problem was the cold California breeze. The groomsmen are all Matt’s friends from Davidson. I drool over a man in a black tux…. The bride was breathtaking!!! The kiss… The girls warmed up with cocktails while the boys posed for pics. I…
Today I’m graduating with a Master’s degree in Applied Educational Psychology and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in School Psychology. Normally, I would have been planning my outfit for weeks, but I don’t really have a choice today. I’ll be drowning in a polyester robe and a silly hat. Oh yeah, and a carolina blue hood….not my best color. But, today’s outfit is not really about looks – it’s about what the attire represents. Apparently, the master’s robe…
A little advice from my experienced sister, aka katheats — When Larbs asked me to do a guest post for her this week about making the most of life while working at a desk job, my immediate answer was “But I don’t work one! I left mine for a different career!” But then she reminded me that last year I completed a six month dietetic internship, where I had to work full time in four different rotations while still keeping…
Since I’m eating about the only things left in my fridge and my meals are boring this week, I thought I’d write about a twenties issue that I’m still struggling with: finding a balance between living in the moment and being responsible in preparation for the future. I’ve never really understood the phrase ‘live in the moment’ and to be honest, I get really annoyed when people say it. If I ‘lived in the moment’ on any given day, I’d…
I was talking to my dad about my blog yesterday and he mentioned that he has been somewhat surprised that I don’t talk more about some of the questions I’m dealing with (re: growing up and figuring out my purpose as a working adult.) I know I’ve been bad about blogging directly about the act of ‘taking back my twenties’, but to be honest with you, it’s because I don’t feel like I’ve made a whole lot of progress (at…
Hi guys. Long time no talk. So I’ve been in kind of a rut this week. I’m not sure it is the post-Christmas blues, the rainy days, or the fact that I don’t really know what I want to do with my life, but my mind has been wondering this week. I’ve learned that one of the best cures for these kinds of moods is a good exercise session and a fashion magazine (because shopping can be dangerous in these times).…
Yo friends. The first day back was a success. I kind of liked feeling productive again. I got reacquainted with the stair climber after work and then took a brisk walk with Matt to run a few errands. Since Matt had the day off, he cooked dinner tonight…what a treat! He made lemon + pepper pasta with shrimp (inspired by this recipe from cooking light). It was perfect:) On to resolutions. To be honest, I’m not that into resolutions. The…
