DC update: It's the smaller milestones that make me happy again! For instance, WOW, I decided on an apartment and negotiated the start date to April. There is something about knowing where you are going to lay down at night, and being happy with that, that brings an odd sense of accomplishment! After 30+ emails looking at places, I was exhausted mentally of searching. My new roomie and I clicked immediately. We said to one another, "You are the most normal person I have met in this search!" And so it was.
In navigating an unfamiliar city, it bring me back to first landing in France. We took a pricey cab ride from the train station to the hostel, and went through beautiful and not-so-pretty areas of downtown Marseille and the coast. I was speechless. It was awe and fright rolled up into one big ball of mystery. I thought to myself, "Oh wow. What now?!" Well, we got over that fright. I think the first night the girls and I secretly cried, and tried to smile to one another..and eventually cried to one another over a fine and inexpensive bottle of French wine. Oui oui..weeeeeppppp.
I used that hurdle to propel me to a city that is second to international cuisine and people to NYC. In a sense, I am le Americaine! avidly hoping to make some huge impact on my resume, and have some fun in the mean time. I truly always love a good flair to my stories. I get bored easily. Why not move and make a good story?
Although my time now is push, push, push towards an industry/job/career that I hope carries me well, I rest assured that HP always figures out some way to have some fun shenanigans along the way. It's hard to focus on true fun right now, but sometimes you have to break up that monotony of the job search :)
Til next time...have a wonderful weekend!
