I'm Back Bitches!!!

What was I thinking trying to maintain a blog right away once I moved to New York City, one of the most monumental periods of my life, blazing my post-college path?? Man was I busy and totally distracted in the Fall. I guess in the past when I've tried writing my thoughts (like back in the day on LiveJournal) I got into this rut of only writing about my day or what's up with me lately and it turned out wicked boring. I also got the overwhelming feeling that maintaining a blog was a big commitment rather than a pleasure, what with the pressure of responding to peoples comments and making friends in the blogosphere and keeping up with posts all the time. So go easy on me. I'll give this another shot. I feel like picking this back up at the moment at least, and writing in it when I please. It may not be every day or consistently, but whenever I have a thought or story to jot down. Isn't that what blogs are for?

Anyway, to catch you up to speed, I'm not going to go into the nitty gritty, but as you can imagine, A LOT has changed. As soon as Chris and I moved here I grabbed a retail job while I did a bunch of interviews, maybe 5-10? over the course of two months before finally landing a real job. Which isn't so bad, right? Two months? Kind of what I expected. Chris was able to start a job right away.. he's already on his second now. We sublet a tiny apartment for the first six months before moving into our current apartment for the next two years, which is much more comfortable. It may have taken half a year of *dealing with it* but we finally feel secure and content with our living situation and job status (although I feel wicked poor, something I expected when moving here, but really didn't want to happen). It takes patience to get what you want, but it's possible. I feel proud of myself for leaping into a totally new way of life and just making it happen. I got the position I wanted to get for an entry-level position. Though now entering my seventh month in this job (wow!) it makes me wonder, what's next? I'm so used to moving all the time to new dorms or apartments and living out of bags and maintaining short-lived jobs and internships throughout college, that it makes me sort of antsy to actually be ... settled for longer than several months.

This city is truly a wonderful city. It's never boring. It's full of freaks. For the first four or five months when Chris and I would go walking through the neighborhood, I'd sigh and say "can you believe we're REALLY living here??" -It's hard to explain. Obviously the wonderment has worn off by now but I still do have my moments.. like when Chris and I are having drinks with friends downtown or whatever.. I'll have a moment where I think to myself, is this for reals my life now? That.. we were able to make the transition and totally start fresh and be successful in one of the most intimidating cities ever? *slaps self* Yes Sara, it's true.

Ok that's good for now. I'll write again in another 9 months. I KID I KID. kbye.
