Updates for Maureen

This post is for you Ms. Higgins.

What have I been doing with my life lately... hmm... GOOD QUESTION! Well, in the matter of a month, I went from working 0 days to 7. Although this may sound overwhelming, it's in a way calming for me. I enjoy staying busy and having my schedule packed to the max, so the overload is definitely nice.

I spend 3 days a week at State PR doing Public Relations as an intern in Manhattan. I like it, but because I've been out of school for awhile, my creative writing and brain activity has really slowed down. Ha. But, I am getting back in the groove of things, and hopefully my pitching will be up to par again.

The rest of the week I am working at a restaurant in Gladstone, NJ, called SUBLIME, and let me tell you, the food really is SUBLIME. The restaurant just opened about a month ago, so business is well, wishy washy. Some nights the bar is busy, but the dining area is not and vice versa. I like it though. I love the girls I work with as well as the rest of the staff. Boss man could be a little uptight every once in awhile, but hey, it's a restaurant, aren't they all like that??

Some other exciting news! I am interviewing to volunteer at DC Fashion Week coming up in September!!!! I am so stoked about that. I'll also be able to do a few things with NY Fashion Week. I'm hoping all this unpaid work I am doing is going to help me find a job in the end.

I do enjoy working and being in the city, but I miss Virginia like crazy, and I've made a decision that after I am all NYC'ed out, I am most likely going to move back to the DC area or Boston.

We'll see where things take me. Hopefully sooner than later. Gotta keep those fingers crossed eh?!
