24. Find a job

I have spent the past two years trying to get my ducks in a row. I moved to Milwaukee for a job to only have it fall through, I lived with my mom for a year and a half, I've been rejected by 7 grad schools, have had major roller coaster rides the past 3 months and never thought I would get things put together.

But now I have finally found a job! It's only a 6 week internship right now but it has promise. And it's with Rishi Tea right here in Milwaukee. I will be working under the Art Director doing graphic design work and the most exciting part is recreating the trade booth! I absolutely love the company and everything they stand for, it's so rare to work for an actual good company. I can't wait to get started.

Good job duckies getting yourselves all in a row. Now just stay there!

45. The Pleasures of Cooking for One

Pan seared salmon! I can officially cook for one. A nice little piece of salmon all for me and it was probably the easiest dinner I have ever made for myself!

44. July 3rd fireworks on the roof

Alright, I am all moved into my apartment (only a few things need to be put in their place still) and last night I was able to sit on the roof and enjoy the July 3rd fireworks. My roof top is literally the best seat in the city to view them from. Next fireworks are for Festa Italiana and I'll be right here on the roof.
