New York, New York

A post just for Bec Bec, my number one supporter. 

Last week, I went up to New York for my first-ever real job interview. It was nerve-racking, scary, exciting, and all that jazz. It ended up going pretty well. I'm supposed to hear back by the end of the week. Fingers crossed! I don't have my hopes up too much, considering how I have no idea what my interview skills were really like. I do know, however, from an inside source that there was talk about "the girl from Florida" before I went up there for my interview. The job would be a great experience, and the company is a super cool one I could see wanting to stick with and growing within. My current sources of inspiration and motivation to keep up my efforts to seek more opportunity are this video about one of my all-time favorite blogs The Sartorialist, and Kate Miss' blog For Me, For You. Although she just relocated to L.A., her amazing and unique photos of NY would make me lust for the city, and her stories of the transition have served as quite the source of inspiration as well. Not to mention I would have never found out about this career opportunity if it wasn't for her. Thanks!

I decided to make a mini-weekend getaway of the trip. It was the first time traveling by myself since I was 12, and it was kind of awesome. Of course I love my friends, and would have loved for them to be with me. There's just something about the freedom, independence of traveling by yourself, doing your own thing on your own schedule that's refreshing. I got to visit MoMA (one of my favorite places in the world), The New Museum of Contemporary Art (I had heard soo much about it),  eat some meatballs with my hilarious cuz and her awesome friends, and did some exploring by myself. I didn't even get lost on public transportation. I don't know how, but I am much less directionally challenged there than I am here, weird. Anywho, New York, New York (Brooklyn) I hope to call you home soon, even if it means working three jobs and never sleeping.

P.S. this was my first time seeing snow fall! Pretty crazy huh?

P.S.S. Anyone else who may read this - I never would have posted again if Becca didn't mention her checking it, thinking I would post in the airport. That's a supportive friend, just saying. I'm a quitter, I need to be pushed.
