Busy

Hello friends. I apologize for my absence. I’ve been busy….

busy making salads and sweet potatoes in an attempt to return to normal eating after my trip,

busying shopping for bikes and work clothes, busy filling out paperwork,

and busy celebrating with riesling at West End Wine Bar.

Why, more merriment after a ten-day celebration of life, you ask?

Because this girl is employed!

No more wondering where I’ll be working, when my career will begin, of if I will even get a job. I’ll be working in a program support/coordination role for a graduate degree program at Duke. Oh, and I start a week from today.

Here’s to another chapter of taking back my twenties:)

    Good for you!! Can you tell us more about the position? It sounds pretty different from your last job–which may have been what you were looking for, right?

    Congratulations! I’m a blog reader from England and really enjoy following you. I’m the same age as you and have recently finished a year of internships and temp work and finally got a ‘grown up’ career job.

    I will be interested to read more about your new job and how you maintain a good work life balance.
