Girl in the Big City

Yes, I know I have been slacking on my blogging duties, but can you blame a girl!?!? I have been pretty busy the last few weeks. I did the finishing touches on the review I had been working on for the magazine's Web site. It will go live July 8Th and I will be sure to post a link for you all to check out! I have also been doing busy work for other people there. Finding links to add to blogs and updating pages. Reformatting the hotel directory is taking a lot of time, but will be nice when it is done! It really makes me want to go on vacation... hm maybe a luxury tree house hotel in Australia. Sounds fun... plus I really want to go zip lining again.

I went to the Mets vs Mariners game this week. It was fun considering that I went by myself. It was nice to get out an enjoy the nice weather and throw back a cold Bud Light. The game itself was pretty lame though ha. I had my first venture to Queens on the Subway... kind of a ghetto area, but wasn't too bad. I can't say that I would venture out there by myself at night though. I don' think I would ever want to live there either... not a very pretty area... covered in graffiti and stuff.

We are moving rooms next weekend. Lets hope the room is decent sized like the one we are in now, but nicer. I don't know I'm not getting my hopes up. It's kind of a pain in the butt, but at least I don't have a ton of stuff to move so it shouldn't be too bad.

Working a lot at the Gap and usually end up getting convinced to stay longer.Got to make that money somehow! I am working the 4th of July, shouldn't be bad because of holiday pay. Why not let people who have families go enjoy it. I don't have anything big planned so I volunteered. Things are going well there. Stressful, but like I said most the people are really nice so it makes it more pleasurable to be there. Learning a lot in both jobs (magazine and Gap). Multitasking efficiently has been a big thing I have picked up at both. I could multi-task before, but I think I am becoming quicker and more efficient when I have to multi-task. I am slowly learning to have more patience with people and situations as well. Its just not worth getting irritated or mad over most things. I have a short time here and I should enjoy it all for what its worth. Not everyone gets this opportunity. I want to start applying this attitude to everything in my life and hopefully it will help me ease a majority of the stress that I put on my shoulders. Its just not worth it. Relax, live, and have fun. Yes, that's what I am going to start doing.

Also, the P.R. person for the Columbia Roller Derby Girls contacted me about the video I had made of them and put up on YouTube. They liked it and are going to use it for their Website and such! Hooray another clip. Its always nice when people enjoy the work that you do. I really wanted to get my own professional quality video camera so that I can start taking advantages of opportunities given to me to shoot local music stuff. Bummer when I can't. I will just have to start saving up to get something!

Last, but not least funny thing happened while walking in Times Square. There was some old chick trying to be like the naked cowboy. She was out in lingerie playing the guitar early morning Wednesday in the middle of Times Square. I was a little surprised, but then again not really. It is New York and all, but WOW ha ha.

Well, I work a full shift until close again tonight. Enjoy the week! OOOOh and p.s. its almost my birthday!
