had an accident on the highway yesterday...i think it may be time for my lil' sentra to retire.
you can see the jeep that hit me, coming up from behind...side to side collusion, unfortunately on my driver side. neither of us had any serious injuries, and i'm guessing i have the worse end of the stick. i've got pretty stiff muscles in my back and neck...so, i got a beating and some bruises, but i'm alive and well. thank God.

| 1. moved into the new apartment in upper arlington [many thanks to ab and nb], settled and enjoying it.
2. new roomie is cool...a bit of a drinker, and she's more petite than me...we've had a few funny convos and hilariously awkward situations after a nite at the bars.
3. the job hunt is still going...no job yet, but i haven't given up hope. things are moving along, and i'm patiently waiting to finally meet the lucky person who sees my world of talent. :)
4. the sis is getting married oct. 21 and i have to wear a red dress and heels. *cringe* this is the first (and very possibly last) time you'll catch me in a red dress. oh, don't get me wrong, my sis has great taste and i'll do anything with a smile to help her have the best day of her life, but...if you know me, you know red isn't my thing. heck, dresses aren't really my thing either...much less a sleeveless dress. it's all good tho...it'll be fun to play the part for a day.
5. last but not least, i have to say that the friendships i've made thru work (at the sbux) are what keep me going during hard times. much love to my fellow starbuckians. 'nuff said.

so the time and date for the interview are set. i'm scared now....but
oh well. what do i have to lose? not like i have a job now...that's the
worst that could happen, that i still...unfortunately... wouldn't have
a job. eh. lets not think about that. i also emailed my peeps at
starbucks in attempt to schedule something with them on this trip.
thanks to paulie for the corporate-speak lesson.
life is a roller-coaster (btw, i'm not a fan of those..son of beast at
KI was ok, i rode that a couple times, but then i read a story about
injuries so i'm never riding roller coasters again)...you make friends,
depend on them, spend tons of time with them...but then, during times
likes these when we're all looking to relocate to wherever a job is
offered, or we're getting hitched and starting the life of coupledom,
things change. peeps are busy with their lives...they have less time
for friends, for hanging out, perhaps even for work (like, the
part-time job they're trying to get out of), which means less time with
work friends. it's sad.
then, for me personally, my family is going all over the place. since
my graduation things have been actively changing and moving farther
away from me. the sis got engaged and will be getting hitched (of
course i'm super happy...and a bit jealous?...that she's found someone
to share her life with) all within 6 months!! imagine the stress from
planning things so quickly. then she's off for a wonderfully
amazing/relaxing honeymoon in kauai. send a postcard? :p
also, i found out that the 'rents are most likely going abroad for an
extended amount of time in the near future. again, wonderful
opportunity for them both, but i feel a bit left behind...and...to be
frank, lost. so send me a postcard for the netherlands? thanks, mom.
i just hope things work out with my career and new lifestyle. i'm half
excited and half scared out of my mind. also, i hope i don't lose all
my college friends, altho i can't say i'm always hanging out with
peeps, i do have a lot of love for the kids i've met in college. i love
hearing about where peeps are and what's been going on...i guess this
is normal. *shrug*

i got an opportunity to interview at a firm that i've wanted to work at for quite some time now.
i'm stoked.
i need to talk with my peeps and see if i can meet up with some other
high rollers while i'm in the northwest...then i'll find some tix to
suit the schedule, and this marks the first positive result of my job
search. BUT, like dad says, "...don't keep all hope on this one. just
continue your normal search as usual." right.
but i'm stoked! this'll be fun nonetheless...i hope to meet up with
some of the big dogs at the ssc about my thesis, adidas (tom of pete
and tom), and no doubt i'll meet up with microsoft (paulie)
me = huge
brand wh*re that has replaced names of friends with brands they work for
lately i've been drinking red wine and eating sushi. classy, isn't it?
you only wish you were me...i know. i'm currently drinking sangria,
which is amazing. i feel so worldly when i do these things...if i did
the american thing i'd go out and eat pizza or something. wait, that's
italian. i'd go eat a hot dog. SICK! i hate them..i'd never do that.
i hope i can find a job that lets me travel. i mean, i know the flying
sucks...especially now that i can't bring my lip gloss on board...but,
it's awesome getting to see different cultures and experiencing
different things. if i rent a car from avis i'll get some free
toiletries on my seat when i arrive, compliments of P&G. way to go
team.
i think i'll be single woman that travels the world and seduces men to
buy her dinner and drinks...and pretty, shiny things if he wants....and
if not, i'll be livin' it up on my expense account. ok, i'll do a bit
of work too, but only after i've had my cappuccino...*dreamy sigh*

in about 16 days i'll be kicked outta this place i affectionately call "my room".
genius, i know.
this month has been filled with trying to balance priorities between
workin' on the portfolio, sending out the resume, including attempting
to follow up on a few places, working out and dealing with changes in
relationships...friendships i've had thru college have kinda changed
now that we're all moving into a new part of our lives...it's weird
seeing the same faces every single day for several hours and then
suddenly not seeing or even talking to them for several days--even
weeks! *gasp*
the apartment search has been rough, mostly cuz of my dad telling me to
find a much cheaper place than i wanted to get after graduating...but in my head i
know he's right, i don't really need to pay $600 for a 1 bdrm for
myself..i don't even have a freakin' job yet. how was i expecting to
pay for it??
so...i've done my homework and found another place for $310.
woohoo...gonna check it out on wednesday and i hope, well...i hope it's
livable. i can't exactly be picky 2 wks before i'll be kicked out onto
the streets. >_<
