Put a fork in it. That's a wrap, folks.

The last two weeks of school has mostly consisted of sleepless nights, switching my gaze from the fabric on the table and the sewing machine that kept tearing my thread, willing the two to work together to create the beautiful garment I thought of in my head. Those nights blurred into the following day, and kept me wondering how in the world 7 projects were going to be completed within the those 3 days of classes. Because even though I didn't sleep, and hardly stopped to eat (you learn to multi-task very quickly) and my social life was thrown out the window months ago, there still didn't seem to be enough hours in the day. And the school became one big brick building of inconvenience, with its odd hours and lack of open rooms during the day. Really? Not open 24 hours during finals week? Throw me a freakin' bone.

But as of Monday, the semester has officially come to a close! And while each class concluded the week before, each with a lack of fulfillment that I was hoping for, by the end of the day on Monday, I was jumping for joy, and felt like I was graduating all over again. Yes. That's how good it felt to be done.

One semester down, two more to go.

But the world doesn't stop, and apparently neither do I. My internship started on Tuesday, with MAO PR, and as far as PR goes, they are legit as it gets. This is the same company I interned for during Fashion Week. I could go on and on about how rad I think they are, but I'll let you read about that yourself if it so interests you.

Okay. So what have I covered thus far? Schools out: check. Internship: check. Now on to the big move. I move into this dank apartment in Hell's Kitchen on June 1st! I'm living with three other girls from school, and it's not so far from Parsons. We really lucked out on this space, and I can't wait for you to visit

So now what? On to the job hunt. What kind of job am I looking for? Any one that pays.

What else? Well, I few more tricks up my sleeve, but you're just gonna have to wait and see ;)
