My blogging resolution has failed yet again, but I am hopeful.
The weather has also been changing lately. No more sweltering days or humid nights as of late. I appreciate the cooler temperatures. It also means that I have a chance to showcase some outfits. With changing temperatures also signals the end of baseball season. Things have been brewing at work which keeps me occupied from the minute I walk in to way after I walk out. It takes a bit of time and space to sort it all out, but I believe it will work out.
My job search is still ongoing but thankfully I have a goal. Not that I didn't before but now I have narrowed it significantly. All that is left is to find the job.

It has been too long!
Although I would love to say "I don't know where the time went," the fact is: I do. I have not been spending it here posting that's a given. My last post was about my best friend's wedding and that was up over 10 days ago. Shame on me. However, to justify, I haven't come across anything worthy to blog about. Now I have. Sort of.
To start off I would like to rehash a few things. Firstly my Great American Road Trip. That has been discontinued, DOA, no chance of resuscitation. Instead, Olithia and I have come to a few conclusions:
A) We discovered that we were being a bit too ambitious to venture on a 30 some day road trip when neither of us has been on one before.
B) Instead of one long trip, it would make more sense that we split the continental US into quadrants and road trip one section at a time.
C) We will be headed off to China as an alternative. (More on that to follow)
D) We will spend less money therefore be able to save more money for our future road trip. Hurray!
As I mentioned in my last post, I went to my friend's wedding solo. Olithia posted this and boy it sure put my feelings into words. I'm in the same boat as her and it's good to know I'm not alone. Though I have to admit, I am quite a romantic and maybe a bit too much of one. But that's okay with me.
Finally. Trip to China! My parents and I haven't had a chance to go on a true vacation in quite awhile, especially one overseas. So part of this trip is my graduation present! The fact that my great friend Olithia will be with me makes it even better. We will be spending 10 days in China and then some time in Hong Kong as well. I am super excited because a classmate from college recently moved there for a job and I can't wait to catch up with her in person. Plus through my current job, I met a chef that will be in China/Hong Kong during the same time. Small world, so we might meet up too. It's nice to be around food lovers especially in a foreign land.
Lastly, so I wasn't done, I have an interview! It pains me that the position I have now will be non existent after early October so I have begun to look for other routes. It is early, but it never hurts to get a head start right?

Its been too long...
So I have been slacking on my blogging. I apologize to.. well anyone but especially to myself since this is a commitment I should be on top of.
Update on my life anyone?
Professionally, I started my job. Its a temp but I could see it potentially going somewhere. I work at Citifeild, home of the New York Mets as a suite supervisor. The hours aren't long compared to being in a kitchen, but I feel that I move around wayyyy more than I did in the kitchen.
I was suppose to only be in charge of 8 suites but the read world has set in. One supervisor got fired before the opening game and another got fired for not reporting in. Now instead of 8 I have 13. On a "regular" day 9 out of 13 of my suites are open. I have about 2 guest attendants per room and 2 runners between all of them.
There's a lot of walking back and forth, I'm considering getting a pedometer to see how far I walk in a day, however the job is fun and also frustrating at times. But I take a deep breath to calm myself and try to tackle the problem head on.
Now personally, hang on to your chairs, I joined an online dating site. I know what you're thinking but please:
DON'T JUDGE!
9 times out of 10, you don't have the right to.
It might sound strange for a 21 year old to join a dating website, but honest to truth, I'm not the type to go out to clubs or bars. Beside, what type of guys will I be meeting there anyway? So I ventured out and gave online dating a try.
I do admit, there were a few creepers who messaged me. No offense to them but I'm 21 and one of them was 41.
More to come on that later. I need sleep.
6 out of a 10 game home stand done.... now to survive the last 4.
