Hi, my name is Heather. And I'm a cumpulsive repeater. All Together Now: Hello, Heather.

Countdown Until Jess Comes to Visit: 4 Days
Countdown Until I Leave NYC: 13 Days
Countdown Until Erin Comes to Visit: 13 Days
Countdown Until My Interview That Could Potentially Be Awesome: 18 Days


It’s amazing how tired I am.

And there really is no reason for it. I slept a normal amount this weekend, didn’t overly exert myself: no crazy orgies or drunken stupors. To be honest, I’m a little pissed off at my body…suck it up. Seriously.

On another note—thanks to Megs “I-have-secret-blogs-and-don’t-tell-anyone“ Martin—I am now obsessed with The Weepies. I keep listening to “Gotta Have You” on repeat. Sigh. I’m sure Juanita (the awesome black lady that sits next to me) will be SO happy when I leave. I’m a compulsive repeater. Last week it was Peter Bjorn And John’s “Young Folks.” The week before that was The Orion Experience’s “I’m Obsessed With You” (again).

This weekend I packed three boxes and pretty much all my stuff fit in them. It’s very sobering when all your possessions can fit into three cardboard boxes. It’s also very sobering to actually SEE all your possessions in three cardboard boxes. I was talking with my dad and apparently they're starting to clear out the “guest room” for me and making my dad’s old office the new guest room. This is going to be an adventure.

One other piece of news—I got an interview. It’s with a marketing firm, Three Stars Media, and they want to see me for a Copy Writer/Editor position. So that is June 3rd, and I would appreciate prayers! It would be great to get a job right away, especially a job I won’t want to kill myself doing.

Freedom!! Sort of...

I just let my boss know that I’m leaving New York at the end of the month. And it was significantly less stressful than I thought it would be! She said “bummer” a lot, but she was largely understanding--which was such a relief! She was seriously an amazing boss and I’ll really miss her (but not her expense reports so much).

So now that my boss knows, everyone is informed. My roommate was going to kick me out this month anyway, so that worked out. So I guess this makes my exodus a reality! It’s actually going to happen and I’m actually going to be home at the end of the month. Hallelujah.

In other, more unfortunate news--I’m not sure if I can go to Mexico. I (and my parents…mostly my parents) feel like it’s too dangerous. And as much as I want adventure, I don’t know if this is the right time with all the flu stuff and the drug cartel stuff going on. And honestly, I need some “me” time. I just need to find some mindless job that doesn’t involve a computer and hang on the beach and focus on my spiritual and physical health. And I’m really excited about being around my parents. My mom and dad are two of my best friends and I really miss them. I also miss Sarah and her antics…

So…that’s the Heather update for now. I’ll keep you posted on how things turn out!

Love!
