not much to say in january

Hello everyone!

Basically this is what I'm doing with my life: reading about appropriation and art, specifically Shepard Fairey, working, looking for jobs and sleeping, and an occasional date here and there. I refuse to talk about any of my dates on my blog, until further notice. I did encounter a weird feeling today. It was shame, about working at Starbucks. I didn't like the feeling at all. Doug, my former youth group sponsor, comes into my location all the time. But today he brought Lindsay, his daughter, who I used to babysit, and she was just beginning YOU when I was finishing up. I just felt awkward about explaining my life and justifying having a silly job by saying I'm writing my thesis. Reality is: I actually like Starbucks. It certainly does not pay enough and I would like to have a full time job that has really good benefits. But for a part time job, I have a ton of fun and absolutely LOVE the people I work with. I love what I do there. I'm not sure where the feeling came from, but it wasn't good and I'm sure she felt like I didn't want to talk with her and that wasn't the case at all. She's so lovely and has grown up so much. It just reminds me of that Simpsons blurb where Bart is making fun of grad students and Marge disciplines him by saying, "don't make fun of grad students, Bart; they just made a horrible life decision". HAHAHAH. Well, I do know that I've learned a lot about life, careers, relationships, friendships, art and how to be a good student in grad school. And those are all very valuable lessons. Even if I never work at a museum, I do not, nor will I, regret going to grad school.

Thesis is finally going well. I love my topic, hopefully the committee will as well.

Ciao for now darlings.

new year

It's a new year and I did a cleanse last week - the cabbage soup cleanse. It went alright, I lost 6 or 7 lbs. (I think). I don't have a scale.

I've been working a lot, and working on my thesis topic, outline and all of that stuff.

Here. I found a new website: http://www.happynews.com/

As far as my future career is concerned, I had a second interview with Sysco. I will find out about that in a couple weeks. I also applied for Teach For America, and am very interested in that possibility. I'm actually more excited to hear about that than I am Sysco. Although, if I was offered the Sysco job, I would take it, because it's a good company, and they are good people, and it pays well.

So, I'll keep you updated on the career and thesis fronts and I hope you're all doing well.

Happy Holidays!
