I have been really terrible about keeping up this blog, but I think now is as good a time as any to get back into it. I’ve been through a lot of changes lately – up and moved my life to New York City to pursue a career as a stuntwoman, then two days later left on a cross-country roadtrip with my best friend Chelsea. I think I’ll write about that trip in another entry sometime (if I get that motivated), but for now I’ve been back in this city for an entire month and my life is starting to take shape.
Currently, I’m working from home for the Fish and Wildlife Service making websites. I’m lucky to have a job coming to the city, but this working from home thing is making me stir crazy. I’m not one to sit in my apartment in front of a computer all day. I’ve applied at about a million restaurants, gotten interviews at some, and I’m hoping for the best.
Other than that, the new apartment is awesome – We’re living in west Harlem on the top floor of a really cool building in a nice neighborhood. It was a bitch moving all of our belongings up five flights of stairs without an elevator, but completely worth it. The fact that I can climb out my window onto the fire escape and up to the roof is pretty much the best thing I could ask for. From up there we can see every direction – downtown Manhattan, the Empire State Building, then the other direction the George Washington Bridge, the Bronx and Jersey. Our sunsets are amazing.
So far I’ve been spending a lot of my time getting used to the city and figuring out how to live here – I’d say I’m doing pretty well. I will work hard to update this blog at least weekly with new things I discover.
Ironically, tomorrow I’m going back to Massachusetts for 4 days.
