Despite having an awful day at work where I had numerous mean customers, things are finally looking up. I just got an internship with a magazine! Although it doesn’t pay, and it’s only 15 hours a week, I’ll get to do a lot of writing. There is even the possibility that they’ll send me to cover events and represent them. I’m one step closer to New York.

I like the idea of routine. In my perfect world I would set aside at least one hour for french, two for writing, thirty minutes for reading, an hour or two for job applications, and another thirty minutes for guitar or piano practice. I would do this every day, on top of my work schedule. Unfortunately, I lack the discipline to do this. Also, I find that when I do finally get done with work, the last thing I want is having my day already planned out. And I am ridiculously lazy. Oh the paradox of my wants and habits.

That moment when your college intramural volleyball team you've been playing with for the last three years texts you to see if you're playing this year... Um, no. I graduated and live in Colorado now, thanks for keeping up with me. Or maybe I did this to myself, I might be a destructive person when it comes to friendships and relationships.

I’m not sure at what age you’re supposed to have the “epiphanic moment” where you feel like you have successfully entered the adult world, but I’m almost positive I’ve yet to reach it. Yesterday, when I was at Costco and having a sample-lunch (and laughing at the kids who were turned away from samples because they were not with their parents), I came across the perfect book. It’s an adult coloring book, or at least that’s what I’m going with. My dining has now become a coloring zone--I think I’m going to need some more colored pencils.

I decided against the unpaid internship overseas, they were wanting me to fund-raise my own plane tickets and living expenses, and to be honest I just don’t know enough people to ask for financial help. Plus I would feel weird asking people for money. However, I did get a job at Starbucks! I am now (attempting) to serve coffee at your local cafe. Please don’t order anything ridiculous.

This is how my dog sleeps. This is normal, right?

So I found a job that I think I’d really enjoy, and to my surprise I actually got contacted to do an interview (and with how my luck has been going lately, this is a big deal). But I just learned that the job is not a paid position. If chosen, all my expenses for plane tickets and living abroad would have to be raised by myself. Considering I am thousands of dollars in debt from college, and the fact that if I took this position (hypothetically thinking if I got it), I would be spending ten months overseas not making any money to pay for my school loans. Yeah, a bit of a problem. While I know it’s financially impossible, I can’t help but still want to continue with the application process. Maybe somehow everything will fall into place. If not--well at least I tried, right?

Have you ever sat down in the morning and thought, Today I’m going to be productive? But then five episodes of Scrubs, a grocery run, a doggie run, guitar practice, french practice, and multiple cups of hot apple cider later it’s somehow already dinner time. All I really want to do right now is curl up in my bed and watch a movie, maybe a cup of coffee would get me motivated...

I’ve started to getting into a routine here in Colorado. Now that I’ve finished unpacking and designing my room, I’m out of new projects to distract myself with. Every morning I get up and make breakfast and watch an episode of my favorite show (right now it’s Scrubs since I finished 30 Rock). Then I make some coffee and do a little bit of reading, and after that I go for a run. I spend the rest of my afternoon attempting to write or apply for jobs, but because I have the attention span of a toddler I get up about a thousand times to either take the dog for a walk, eat, stare out the window, or eat some more. I really need a job.

Just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it’s better. I’m sure this is a lesson most people have learned by now, but it was reiterated for me the other day when I spotted some headphones for the low price of $1. What a steal, right?! At least that’s the thought that went through my mind when I purchased them. Later on when I tried to play music through them and got shocked with little spiteful bolts of electricity, I decided perhaps good headphones are worth the spend.

I ALMOST DIED TODAY. Okay not literally, but it was terrifying. I finally received my boxes that I had shipped from Seattle that contained the majority of the stuff I've collected from my last few years in college. Upon opening one and taking out some scarves, a spider the size of a QUARTER crawled over my hand and started racing over my bed covers. So naturally I started screaming for my dad, who came in and killed (after first laughing at me) the monstrous beast. I don't think I will be going to bed tonight. There are still two more boxes... There could be more...

Isn’t it funny sitting in a coffee shop when everyone is on their computers and spaced out throughout the room so as to not be too close to one another? It’s like the social gathering place for all the introverts, business people, and writers.
