Sick Days

I HATE being sick. I would rather be hot and sweating 24/7 then be sick. You feel so miserable!

Well, to explain why I am mostly sick, this is whats going on right now....
I finally got a part time job after applying for for literally 20 here in the city. It is really hard to get a job anywhere unless you had a reference from somewhere else. I now work at the Soho Grand Hotel at their outside restaurant called "The Yard". It is really pretty and because its during the summer, it is really nice at night. So the Yard doesn't open up until 4pm and we don't close until 1am usually. I only work the weekends, but as the days went on, I stayed later and later. Thursday I got out by 1am. Friday I was out by 1:30am, and Saturday.....I didn't leave until 2:30 so I didn't even get home until 3am!! This is because the people litterally would not leave.

I also have been quite stressed about finding an apartment. It is by far the worst thing I have had to accomplish while here in the city. People are extremely shady and there are sooo many scams. It is also really hard to find an apartment less then $1000....This is not including other bills like food, metro card (unlimited subway pass), and other random things like a taxi. Fortunately my new part time job has AMAZING pay, and I finally found an apartment that might work out. I am going to look at it tomorrow so crossing my fingers it will work and I can be done with the search for now.

So aside from having watery eyes, being extremely congested and suffering from major fatigue, life here is great!! There are always sacrifices for what you want in life and it is a matter of deciding what is important. Time to buy some tissues!
