summer is over;

I have a massive amount of shit staring me in the face this week.. stuff I have been putting off has gotten to the point where it has to happen, and stuff that needs to happen because I HAVE TO MOVE AT THE END OF THE WEEK.

The biggest annoyance here is that I haven't even gotten a chance to apply for any jobs lately because all this moving related crap is in the way.. guh. I want to get out of this job so bad and into something that suits me better (and that I at least remotely enjoy) I cannot even deal anymore, but at present the predominant priority is the move, because it is this weekend no matter what.

So before I move I have to: order bedding and a bed frame and make sure it can be delivered at my new place SATURDAY and no later, buy a mattress to have delivered, do laundry, buy a suitcase in which to move my clothing, buy a dresser, clothes hangers, anything else I'd need for a bedroom.. I also have to get my parents to mail me a bunch of stuff that I haven't had time to get from NC yet.

I definitely do want to make some time to apply for at least a few jobs this week though, and get up with the temp agency about what (if any) other options there are for me. Also fashion week is coming up very soon and I might try to get an internship for that week. A new guy at work said he was an intern last year at fashion week and then got several job offers after. Also, I can (if I scrounge) afford to be an intern for a short time such as that. So that's a plus. I really envy people who somehow have enough money to be an intern or a super low paid job in an industry they enjoy. It opens so many doors and gives so much networking potential.. whereas my job is getting me NOWHERE. Its just an obligation. So anyway maybe I can find something like that.. Another thought I had was to try and find a full time nanny job where I wouldn't work traditional business hours, and would be able to intern or volunteer somewhere during the day. I dunno. This whole job search thing is emotionally and physically exhausting. I really just need it to be DONE. Guh.

Anyway, that was a tangent.

There are a few other random things I need to get done this week (including the final touch ups and updates to a certain Birthday present which I have had since MAY but haven't gotten to give it..)... AND I definitely need to just suck it up and make a hair appointment, and pay for a person to put some sort of color in my hair. I haven't actually gotten a haircut in ... a LONG ass time. Like over a year I think. So I want a trim, some layers, and maybe some ombre-ish blonde highlights?? Not sure. I have posted a facebook status just now asking for opinions, so hopefully that will yield helpful results. :) I definitely want to do something color-related though. I am so bored with my hair color.

The goal on the hair is to have it done by Sept. 6 at the latest.. Fashion's Night Out. :D

That's about it I guess.

Oh wait.

One more thing.

Did I mention that me and Jenn and Rachel HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN APPROVED ON THE APARTMENT YET.

Yeah.

Hot fucking mess.

We sent in the application at the beginning of the week, had to clear up some shit with it and add some things a couple days later, and have heard nothing since. I am highly displeased with this and would really prefer NOT to be homeless in a week.

..WHY is it that every time I move I am on the verge of homelessness?

Being an adult sucks, because I am still a scared little girl inside.

I keep meaning to write a post about the oddities of living in NYC, so perhaps I will remember to do that at some point soon.

Ciao bellas.
