Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight. I’m glad yall enjoyed the Grand Tour. Looking back, I put a lot of work into decorating the apartment and I’m happy to be able to just sit back and enjoy it. I’m especially enjoying the couch these days. I think a combination of the long weekend and too much partying threw off my circadian rhythm because I’m back to the zombie woman and headaches that I experienced in my first weeks of work.…

Cooking The Working World

Today’s weather was just perfect. Not too hot or humid, with wonderful breezes – a reminder that fall is right around the corner. But the air conditioner was blasting in my office and it was a very slow Monday. The highlight of my day was going outside the building to get the mail and having lunch at the wonderful cafe at the law school. All of the food is fresh and local and there are awesome options at a reasonable…

Ramblings The Working World

Today was busy busy. I was working on two big projects at work that were due today and tomorrow, and then I got a third semi-last minute assignment. I’m usually not one to stress out too much, but since I’m new, I’m doing things really slowly. And then there was a miscommunication and I had to start my task all over again! I didn’t even have a second to enjoy my lunch because I had to shove it in between…

Working Lunch

Durham The Working World

Today was the first day at work that I really felt like I was in the swing of things. I didn’t get up early to work-out this morning and I noticed a major difference in my energy levels and there was no headache (I had one the first three days). I also had a meeting and a couple of projects to work on, so the hours few by. The best part about today though, was my discovery of the lunch…

The Working World

So I think I jinxed myself when I said I was excited for a Monday full of work – it was the longest day ever. I felt exhausted by 11 am and I didn’t have much work to do, so the time passed more slowly. I was also anticipating the evening, so it felt like a Friday. Unfortunately, when 5 o’clock finally hit, I had a massive headache. Despite how I was feeling, I met some really nice partners while…

Life The Working World

Hi friends – I got a bit overwhelmed this evening and didn’t have time to post, so I thought you might enjoy reading what I posted before my first day of work last year. Be back tomorrow! — Mornin’. I’m off to my first day day of work! Because I’m beginning my internship today, I wanted to start a discussion about adjusting to a full-time work schedule…. My mission on Taking Back my Twenties is not to complain, but to…

Pillowtop

Ramblings The Working World

Good Evening, I’m currently lying in bed with my monthly stomach ache with my obsession (the song, not the video) on repeat. My new mattress was delivered today! I got just about the cheapest pillowtop I could find, but it still feels better than my old one. And, now I have a guest room: friends please come stay in it. I spent the day running more errands. They are never-ending. It seems like it only took a few days to…
