In the past few days I've had a couple of adventures in real world dodging. Let me elaborate:
The other weekend I drove down to Villanova with a buddy of mine that went abroad for the spring semester. Funny how months can go by, yet it felt like just yesterday that we were causing mayhem together. Some of my other '09 friends were also in the area, which made for an eventful night. However, I also concluded that graduating from college also means graduating from jello shots, as well as shotgunning beers. In the post-grad world, they're just not quite as appealing (then again, were they ever appealing in the first place?).
Then came a day I had been awaiting with excitement and dreading with fear at the same time: the job interview (my first one since I've been home). Despite the sweaty, jittery panicfest I experienced on the Q train on the way there, I think I made a pretty good impression. So if I get the job, does this make me lose credibility as a real world dodger? In this economy, I don't think so. I've got bills to pay, people.
And now I'm about to leave on a jet plane to go see a J-Crane. Translation: my girlfriend's been in Los Angeles for almost 4 weeks now interning in the entertainment industry, and I'm about to visit her tomorrow. We had to say goodbye to each other the morning after graduation day, which was awful (as if we weren't already emotional wrecks as it was). I'm extremely excited to see her and to step foot on the West Coast for the first time in my life. I promised myself two things: 1) I'm bringing back a souvenir for my parents, and 2) I'm swimming in the Pacific Ocean, no matter how ice cold I hear that the water is. I'm swimming, and you can't stop me.
So here's to what should be an excellent vacation, and another adventure in real world dodging. Until next time, cyberspace.
