WHAT

....has nashville become?!

i had an interview this past friday afternoon at a boutique in green hills.
i met with the sweet owners and had a very laid back interview.
after we had been talking for a few minutes, the lady looked at me and said sorry i have an important call i need to take.
her husband proceeded to ask me (while his wife took the call) if i knew of gwentyth paltrow.
i, of course, said yes.
turns out she was a client of theirs... and she was on the phone with his wife as i sat there.
THEN the lady came back in and was texting gwenyth a picture from her phone.

wow.
what an awakening to how insane nashville has become.
i'm still trying to adjust and now i know why it's taking a little longer than expected.

trying to figure everything out

I have no idea why I am writing about this know, but let's just not think about it.

This summer has been an interesting one, full of excitement, anxiety, loneliness, productivity, and discomfort.

It's definitely weird adjusting to being out of college. Friends are different, days are different... life is just.. different.
I'm getting used to it, though.
Sadly, the weather is putting a damper to my productivity, though.
This week has been recorded as the hottest week here since 2007... that's nuts!
Reason #3039 why I am more that ready to move out West.

Last week my dad and I biked 22 miles down the Natchez Trace and have to postpone until the weather lightens up. We've been getting better with our mileage and hope to start really increasing our distance once it begins to cool down some.

This morning was an odd one. I had a phone interview for an Assistant Director's position for a campaign agency supporting human rights groups. The interview, to say the least, was embarrassing. I honestly applied for this job thinking that no one would contact me back.. especially since the position would be in a city far away! I spoke with a lady and completely BSed my way through the screening saying how much I enjoy being a leader and taking control of situations... yeah right. Let's just say that after about 5 minutes, I think she was very ready for the interview to be over. Oh well.

Tomorrow I'm going jet skiing with Corbin just for the heck of it. Yeah, the economy sucks and I don't have a job, but I told myself to screw it and just go have a good time. Right now life is pretty inexpensive anyway. Other than Kya, the occassional dinner, and gas, there's not much else.

This post was worthless, but I'm bored enough not to mind at the moment.
