(Favorite parts of my new room!)
As I write this I am sitting in a coffee shop waiting for my first day of intern styling.
I moved into my NYC apartment on Saturday, saw a Yankee’s game and went grocery shopping on Sunday, and then woke up ono 5 a.m. on Monday to start my first job.
The funny thing is that I wouldn’t want it any other way! No, I’m not getting paid. No, I’m not sure if I’m ready for this. But I am jumping in with both studded boot covered feet.
Just incase I thought I knew what to expect, this first job isn’t even on the island and it took me an over hour to get here on the subway. I may or may not have been shaking in my boots the entire way. Let’s get this day started and see where I end up!
Update: the “studded boot covered feet” was a bad idea. After 8 hours of standing, my feet were throbbing. I’m hoping to get my “NYC feet” in soon. If you can get sea legs, you can get NYC feet. Right? But, I started my first week here doing what I love, so I’m just going to buy a more practical pair of shoes and get right back to work. Luckily I’m in love with my tiny little apartment room, so I have a nice place to hide with my throbbing feet.
Until next time, don’t be afraid to dream.
Uh please we both know you don’t have sea legs. 😉
Stop trying to kill my metaphor!!
Please keep us updated! What an adventure!!
Will do!
My dear Lauren, never ever wear your work shoes until you get to work 🙂 You must wear some sort of comfortable cute sneakers or walking shoes for the commute. I also find Clarks to have some cute comfortable dress shoes. Hope the first day was awesome albeit with throbbing feet!
I just have to wear comfy shoes all the time as an intern, no cute shoes at all. Just bought a pair of cute sneakers though so I should be good to go now!
Go Girl!! So excited to read about your adventures!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!
