I don’t know If i’m trying to convince the world or myself. Things are just not the same here! Its really tough, I went from a nice small office and a big position…to a huge organization at the bottom of the barrel (intern).
minus the braces…and being a man! bahahaahah Gonna try try try! Start German Classes tomorrow, will be a nice change of pace.
I guess the interns are buzzing about the “new girl” in the United Nations after the big night @ the ball! My date ended up sleeping all day saturday…so I went with a group of people instead for a big predrink! We missed opening ceremonies, and I danced so much my feet are all cut up from my “cinderalla” shoes. THE SHOES CAME OFF THIS TIME….thats when you know its serious! I had a bomb time dancing – my usualy self but it didn’t seem the same without my loved ones. I truely am in a strange land.
Thanks so much to Monroe who took the time to send me a Birthday card – by Mail! The good old fashionned way! You are such a sweetheart and I miss you so much it hurts sometimes! It brought tears to my eyes and made me really happy at the same time! <3 <3 <3
And Chrissy! Yay i’m sooo stoked your gonna come visit me!!! Miss yous! awwww miss my girls <3
Next week – last ball….the Irish Ball…this time with My Mom and some other ladies…I’ll if i can make it “interesting”
so there was no karaoke or Nancy Sinatra…..and no brand new box of matches.
but we did all go to 1516 (popular pub) and drink! I made some new acquaintances and met the committee president organizing tomorrow’s Diplomatic Academy (school)’s ball, which ALL the interns are going to.. which is awesome cause today I found out tickets were SOLD OUT just after I got a fellow intern to accompany me.
BUT NOW! I have secured a ticket! I’m soooooo stoked on wearing my dress again! and chilling with the Intern social circle..
I missed having a social life!
1 week of starting work + 1 bday+1 night out+1 ball to attend=Not to shabby!
I forgot how much I missed this international atmosphere. I haven’t been in it since the Washington days (Washington International School), its so refreshing to meet people from everywhere. Last night I met people from: Holland, Germany, Sri lanka, US, who knows what tonight has in store.
So….the first week of work was a little stressful, its like starting high school all over again! I don’t know anyone, in a strange place etc. The interns here apparently have their own social network and plan events and stuff. and tonight, they are going KARAOKE!!!!! right up my alley!!! There are apparently a bunch of “clicks” so we will just have to see if i can fit in…or stand out. Whichever! but karaoke i’m stoked! makes me miss Monroe a little <3
this calls for a Nancy Sinatra song tonight!!!!!! and of course Gwen Stefani! of COURSE!
I’m gonna wear boots and find myself a brand new
ehhhhh yea!
Boya! represent for the Canadians! I hope after tonight people will be like yea! she bangs, i like the way she moves…(not like the William hung steeez tho) Although William Hung does make me smile:
So…I was totally bummed and homesick yesterday and thought my bday would suck….i slept in and missed eating before work, was almost late! I thought it would be a total 16 candles complex cause I’m new at work and no one really knows me.
Once i got to my double melange coffee from the machine and sat at my desk I remembered a line from my horoscope for today: As would seem appropriate with this transit, today is a day of new beginnings, and the influences you feel today will affect the entire year to come. However, this does not mean that the whole year will be disappointing if today doesn’t work out exactly as planned.”
Its weird cause as I remembered this the lady I share my office with came in and said come have breakfast with me in the meeting room. I was like what? huh? They had a bday breakfast with yummy baked goods for me, and even sang happy bday. Then went to lunch with a few of the interns. Wow! I felt so welcomed, they seem to be a great team those MTPI (Management/Public Information). Dinner with Mom, and Sacre Tort cake (Vienna’s specialty).
Birthday Breakfast, Birthday Lunch, Birthday Dinner. Awesome bday love/wishes from my friends in Ottawa <3
Can’t complain
Lets see if i can stretch this until the weekend. Plan make friends – will go around tomorrow at work and see if people (interns) want to go out and celebrate Saturday…it wouuuuuld be a great way to get some number and make some connections….or is that pushing it?!
So they can find out that i’m Bearalicious – So delicious <3…25% Asian 75%gorgeous 100% CARA….bahahaha!
After this week I better be up in the IAEA gym, working on my fitness
People seem friendly. I think I will fit in well! My boss seems cool. Overall, I survived!
Once i get my email account up and running, there are clubs from a to z to join! I’m stoked on getting details…yea yea it might be nerdy…but i never did the “club” thing (or any sort of participation for that matter) in high school. There is a book club and an aerobics club, these are my top choices! We will just have to see if they will conflict with my German Classes and which work into my schedule!
It makes me feel important that I have to get x-rayed/go through security to get into work every morning! teeeheee. There is also an international news stand there! Hello english magazines, Hello Cosmo!
The cafeteria is alright, the sushi looks killer….because there is a Japanese person making it for you…so you KNOW it has to be good.

Thats just the life i lead – a LIFE ON THE EDGE. LOL Cause really….big brother and the CIA might be watching! bahahahaahahaa
Went to the university today to register for German night classes. Excellent, this excites me greatly…. a concrete avenue to challenge me! This registration lowers my frustrations about being bored slightly today. People are slowly answering my posts made on facebook groups about Vienna..YES! Also, I have done another mass addition of facebook friends. I am soooo stoked on starting working and studying…this will be truly when things will start to happen!
24 is gonna be a bomb year!! 23 was full of learning experiences (university, work, partying, relationships, wackjob roommates, stupid people, hard work & hard times…and awesome times too). I still cannot believe my birthday is in nine days….where does the time go?!? I still feel like a kid…maybe its cause i live with the rents again….ungggghh! UNGH! lol
My Dad is going to London next week, and won’t be there for my bday…but I have compiled a lovely book wishlist for him! I am missing some essentials which I left in Ottawa, and some which I never had in the first place.
1) A book on astrology – cause everyone knows my fav thing is to read you what you are like, and watch you be amazed <3
2) Skinny Bitch -fad book. But looks good!
3) Tao Te Ching – cause I know the Taoism basics, but I want to read the original teachings!
I know I said I didn’t want anything for my bday. But i mean English reading material is a LITTLE hard to come by here……hence DeutschKurse – Ich komme!
On a side note: I am finding out who my strong friends are, though I was pretty bang on before Its tough to stay in touch sometimes but this is the time to try! Thanks for the support while i try and adjust here<3 I appreciate the love from Ottawa! XO
Stagnant – in one word would describe my life since I got here. If that’s a word. I was bummed last month – seperation anxiety I guess, but from what really? I wanted change! I’m set with a job, now its time to begin and let things fall into place, just let them happen! This requires patience, patience, patience, patience. PATIENCE!
Well one more week, one more week, one more fucking week! Can you feel the melo-dramz – I can!
Until then….I kinda feel like Carrie alone in Paris, I am so sick of being an umemployed tourist:
Soon I will be busy busy busy busy busy! I will finally have some avenues to meet and click with some young interesting people! I’m not going to lie - I’m fucking BORED! It’s cold and dead here! It will come. Patience, patience, patience! Stagnation, then BOOM! the Change Ive been looking for! Excitement is so close – yes so far!
I turn 24 this Month!!!…Time to revamp my life wishlist! I don’t even want anything for my birthday! Just a carrot cake with cream cheese icing and an adventure! and/or some wild distraction! some CLICK! Can you handle it! or a REALLY fun night out dancing!
Any type of excitement of the positive form….Universe…ya heard?! Spice up my life!!
