They say all good things must come to an end. Unfortunately, that was true for me today. After three years that felt much shorter than they probably were, I’ve officially left my Student Assistant job with the State. It was a pretty tough day for everyone involved, especially since they weren’t just losing me but […]
It’s just ten more days before I’m officially pulling up stakes and leaving Sacramento. I’ve been packing and moving boxes regularly since I last reported, and even though I’ve stated eating off paper plates, I’m not feeling the impact of this move yet. I’m leaving a job, my friends, dancing, and a girlfriend behind, and […]
It’s the beginning of July, which means moving day is fast approaching. Unfortunately, this isn’t the fun “I’m trading up to a bigger and better place” kind of move; no deluxe apartment in the sky for me. No this is the “I couldn’t find a job so I have to live with my parents” kind […]
My friend Lisa was in town last night, which under normal circumstances wouldn’t be that big of a deal. In less than two weeks though, she’ll be leaving for a semester of study in Australia, which means that I’m gonna have to cherish any time we get to hang out before then. So the two […]
I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather for the last few days, and although this has meant being absent from work and school, I took advantage of this time for a few self-improvement projects. My primary initiative was getting back in the habit of cooking. After my traditional St. Patrick’s Day dinner, I haven’t […]
Last month, I was in my very first car accident. If I had been better blogger when it happened, I probably would have made a post or two about the whole incident and subsequent events. In short though, my car was rear-ended at a traffic signal. It was very low speed accident – thankfully – […]
After many months of cloudy, cold, rainy, and generally miserable weather, Spring has finally arrived in Sacramento. The last week has been host to some absolutely gorgeous days. Blue skies and moderate temperatures mingle to produce weather so nice that I can hardly stand to be inside. Needless to say, my cubicle-dwelling hours can be […]
I was told by my boss today that I have really matured in the three years I’ve been working there. I was pretty taken aback! The catalyst for her statement was actually a tweet I posted yesterday about making corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick’s Day dinner. In her words, it was “a very grown-up thing […]
“I think I might want to be an editor at a publishing house.” “Well, but first you have to actually like other people’s writing.” Insightful job advice from my girlfriend to say the least. Since graduating almost two weeks ago, I’ve been giving my future job prospects a bit of thought. A lot of people […]
After 4.5 years of toil, I have finally earned my long-coveted BA in English. It’s been a long road, and the last year has been a real struggle, but I made it to the end and I couldn’t be prouder of myself. I don’t know what the immediate future holds for me, but for now […]
