Dearest Web World,
I promised myself that when I started this blog that I would blog at least once a week. As you can tell, that did not happen. I could make excuses and tell you why I stopped but that is not what's important. What's important is that I start again. I would like to start by catching the world up on what I've been doing. I graduated with a degree in Communication from Auburn University! Yay Me!
I went to visit my friend Stuttgart, Germany. I ate weird food (I had rabbit cheek one night. It was delicious). We went to Prague (It was a road trip so I got to experience the autobahn) and Amsterdam (I got to go to the Van Gogh museum and he is by far my favorite artist). It was great. The picture below is me in front of New Castle in Stuttgart.
After traipsing around Europe I came back to My hometown of Tampa, FL and have been on the hunt for a job. I have become somewhat of a professional interviewer. Then again, my not getting hired may make me more of a amatuer interviewer :). Alas, I have the problem many recent graduates run into. The wall that employers put up that has a large sign stating "MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE" and under it in small italics "but we're not willing to give you any." I'm not complaining though. Facing this job market and all it's adversity has made me push myself to do something with the time I have.
I have been doing a lot of side work. I have planned some small parties for a local construction company. I was the wedding planner and save the date designer for a couple in the Tampa Area. I have just been hired to start a social media community for a restuarant in town. So, I've kept busy! I was also hired to take pictures of a precious new puppy, Tinsley.
One good thing about not having gainful employment is I have been allowed to explore all my passions. I have been reading all about Social Media. I have taken pictures. I have painted. I have planned. I have played. I have networked. I have cooked. I have created. I can't lie and say that it has been great. I am a worker. I love having projects, deadlines and plans. They give me a structure which is comforting. I am excited to see where I go next and what I do next. I hope you are too.
And so, my dearest web world, I leave you with a promise. I promise that I will write on this blog about whatever passion is striking my fancy that day. I have a lot of different loves and I'm always... carrying on.
