Emerging from Limbo

The big move to the city has been pretty hectic. I'm so relieved to finally be moved in and settled! The job search seems to be a lot more productive now. I'm starting a temp job on Tuesday with a non-profit organization. The staffing agency I'm working with is amazing! It is so nice to have someone else looking for jobs for me. It was the biggest headache trying to find a decent job and within an hour of being at this agency, they found the perfect job for me. Of course it's only temporary, but who knows what it will lead to? In the mean time it will be great experience. I can't wait to have a schedule again! I hate being all over the place with no routine. It really messes me up and I feel so unproductive. In other news, a good friend of mine from college is in town. She's living on the west coast so I haven't seen her in over a year. We went out last night for happy hour around 6pm and I wasn't in bed until around 3am! It was so fun to catch up and go out with her but I hate drinking! I had the worst hangover all day and all these new numbers in my phone that I could hardly remember who they belong to. In a sense I shouldn't complain because I didn't pay for a drink all night, but I think that was really the root of my downward spiral into overboard intoxication. When I buy my drinks, I pay attention to how much I'm spending and thus, how much I'm drinking. I only intended to have a glass of wine or two and I ended up on the dancefloor of a night club sucking down redbull and vodkas like a castaway in the dessert who just discovered an oasis! Rediculous. Nobody needs that kind of social lubrication. I don't think there was anyone in downtown Boston who wasn't aware by the end of the night that I had just returned from Europe and moved into a new apartment. I was teaching people how to say "cheers" in Finnish and recommending that all the girls who are sick of short men should visit Holland. I've been in such a strong internal reflection mode for so long I wasn't even aware that I was capable of being so social. Well, I'm going to have to take a rain check tonight. I'm going to keep nursing this headache and fix myself a nice cup of tea before bed.
