Nervous!


I start tutoring today. I'm really nervous actually. I don't really remember a lot from training so I'm going to go over my materials. I need to pick up some highlighters too. There are so many things on my mental To-Do List right now!

-Highlighters
-Quote for health insurance
-Sign up for second temp agency
-Deposit pay check from 1 day assignment
-Change the plates on the "new" car.
-Pack some clothes just in case I end up staying at Noam's tonight
-Write a message to my housemates telling them Noam will be coming over on Saturday
-Do some freaking laundry!
-Do the dishes
-Take out the trash

And some more stuff I can't think of right now. =)

Last night I applied for an Administrative Assistant position at the Food Network. I want this job more than anything. It's in New York, and it's with the freaking FOOD NETWORK!!! It would be amazing if I could work my up, and achieve my dream of becoming a food writer. Heck, even being any kind of executive with the Food Network would be amazing. It just made me realize how close my goals are to me, and how I really can achieve what I want in life! So I'm going to be creating a separate blog on here about food. My housemates and I are doing The Biggest Loser challenge in our apartment so I'm trying to eat more healthy foods. Hopefully this new blog will allow me to do that, and refine my food writing skills.



I'm so excited to explore this path!! I am most definitely going to take some cooking classes. I need to revamp a copy of my resume and cover letter, and I need more writing samples. I also need to check the mail to see if Giada's cookbook has arrived yet. I want this more than anything right now, and I really hope it happens.

The only thing that scares me about this opportunity is that I will for certain be in New York for a very long time. That is where the Food Network is, and where pretty much all publishing agencies are. So with Noam wanting to stay in D.C., and me being in New York, I'm a bit worried about how things will turn out. However, all I can do is send prayers and positive future vibes into the world. I want to hold faith in whatever higher being lies in the stars, and that there is no way our achievements will brings us apart.

Back to the more important matter though: I AM SO EXCITED! I was sitting in bed this morning, and it just all clicked. I need to keep applying for jobs like this, I need to write more, I need to MOVE!

I need a job here first to even think about moving. I think I might get a Barista job somewhere. I need some work to support myself right now. I pretty much have enough for this month's rent and that's about it. I don't think my tutoring will be able to pay for it all, so I'll have to find other options. I really want to work mornings too because that would make my schedule purrrfect. We'll see what happens.
...With everything.



Now I must get out of my very warm bed, and start this crazy day!


I hope this kid is in my class...
