ERICA: 120+ miles away girls!

So I know that we will all be in different areas of Oklahoma... for me 120+ miles from Tulsa! But one thing is certain... I am so glad to get away from Tulsa. The thing is, I might have to commute for a few months until I can find a good paying job in Norman.

My original plan was to work for the apartments that I planned to move in -- as a leasing agent. That way I could get a kick-ass discount, but their hours conflict with my daily fabulous life and they only need part-time help (10 hours a week) in the words of Eric Bruce -- GET OUTTA HERE!

So girls, looks like I will be driving the little blue drop aveo back and forth on the highway (for a good month) until I can find a job. Sucks, I know. But the good part is... on the days that I have classes, I will be at Mike's place. This should be Interesting!

Until then, Happy Holidays! Dana I miss you and as I write this blog, Toni is sitting next to me :) so I shall give her a hug on my way out of this office.
Farewell TCC Connection. I will miss everyone, but I am so ready for a new chapter, new scene, new EVERYTHING!

P.S. I soo wish that I could go back to NYC for a few days!

DANA: A New Beginning

Yesterday was my last official day at The Connection and I feel strangely mournful. A couple months ago, I was counting the days 'til I could kiss that place goodbye! Not that I didn't love my job, because I loved my job. But, the apathetic writing staff, the endless meetings, the tedious copy editing and the exhausting layout sessions were starting to get to me. And yet, I already miss it.

I feel scared and nervous to start all over at OSU, a new school and a new town where I don't know anyone. I've never been one to make friends very easily and I know that I will probably spend the first month of the next semester living as a social pariah, sitting in my dorm room and re-reading my Harry Potter books to pass the time. Erica says that people probably misconstrue my shyness as being snobby. I know she is right and I hate that I don't know how to be extroverted. I've never been a very talkative person and when I meet a new person, I never know what to say. I rack my brain trying to think of something, anything, to say and always come up blank. Why is it that I always know what to write but never know what to say...?
