JOB:
Well after waiting for 5 months for a response after my second interview for Brightline iTV, an interactive marketing advertising agency located in NYC, I was told last Friday that I didn't have enough experience. It's such a bummer because, even though I know it's good to interview, it felt like a waste of time, which included random 24 hours trips to NYC and just getting my hopes up because they were so positive towards me...I guess that's HR. Since getting that final rejection, I freaked out, went to the Copley/Prudential and got a part time job at William Sanoma and hopefully a second one at J Crew (i interview for a second time tomorrow). If I can get 35-40 hours a week between the two jobs, it will be amazing because lord knows I need the money and to do something with my days. The one drawback is I had to commit to the end of January 31...whatever. We'll see if that actually presents a problem.
ENTERTAINMENT:
Since my last entry, I found a few things that really kept me going. First of all there is the Twilight Series. If you've never heard of the books, you really need to go out and try them. Within the fantasy genre, the books follow a normal human girl who falls in love with a vampire, has a best friend of a werewolf, and tries to make sense of the world around her. Now I know that sounds REALLY cheesy, but it really is amazing. Never have I been more attracted to a vampire in my entire life. Like the Harry Potter saga, I found myself not sleeping and reading as fast as I could; I finished all 4 books (at least 2500 pages) in 5 days, and that included going into Boston for a weekend. So ya, I recommend these books for ANY reader who like fantasy novels (just ask B.Forte). AND, I cannot wait for the movie to come out!!!
Also, while it might sound embarrassing, I LOVE High School Musical 3! Yes, I've seen it 3 times, which is more than I wanted but I promised different friends that I would join them so I did. With a combination of pop, Broadway, hip hop, bad acting, and of course, Zefron's muscles, smile, and eyes, I found it the best 2 hours I could ask for. In fact, I have the soundtrack playing on repeat as I type this out. This movie is for anyone who really wants to go zone out for 2 hours and feel like a kid again, but I recommend you see it when the children aren't out...it's better then.Oh, and I want to be Rachel Zoe. She is Shutting. It. Down.
FRIENDS:
Well I've seen the normal people. Hanging in Boston doesn't really give me a new crowd, not that I'm complaining. Naturally, like when in school, I've hung out with the Trebs, and even got to see them perform. To my surprise (yes I was skeptical) they were really good when they were at Faneuil Hall. For the second time, the first was when I came back from AU, I felt the weird sensation of watching them sing songs and not being part of it. It was weird because I missed performing with that group, but I didn't miss it at the same time. I dunno. weird. But I got to see them with Christine, which was AH-MAHZING!
I got to go on a wonderful fall day with my friend Nikki from home. Finally venturing out into the historical sections of Concord, we tried going apple picking, but that failed, so we went to the Old North Bridge instead. Normally, I really hate going to everything my town offers for "fun," but since fall is my favorite season, I was in the mood to go out and enjoy the peacefulness that I usually hate. It was oddly wonderful as it was a warm fall day. I enjoyed myself immensely and Nikki is always wonderful company.
I was reunited with friends for the past few weekends, which was GREAT! First David Yi came up from DC and I went out with him, which was great! Clubbing at Roxy, which I hadn't done in a while, was really fun, and I got to hang out with people I don't normally see. Then, this past weekend was Alumni Weekend, and Barbara came up from NC and we hung out, which was FABULOUS...yes she sat right next to me in the theater at midnight to see HSM3! During the weekend, I was invited to an CGS Alumni dinner by my old office, so I got to dress up and see my old bosses/colleagues. It was really nice, especially not having to work the event. I also filled the weekend with SAPA alums, where we got a look into StuV 2, and for my Sydney bitches, there is a full and 1/2 flush...holla! While it was expensive to go to the Alumni event, I think it was worth it to see people. I had a blast! AND, I hung out with Pat (P.Colbs for some of you), who I haven't seen in a while. Very good time for all!So this weekend is Halloween, which is, of course, going to be a fun time. I will be Ash from Pokemon...Holla! I'm going to a party at Christine's (now nicknamed the Allston Cottage) and will probably stay at either Hotel 318 or the Aberdeen Bed & Breakfast. Well, I promise to update more often.
Till next time.
