The Update

If I don't blog for almost an entire year, am I supposed to recap everything that has happened?

Because honestly, I don't really care. And I don't think any of you do either. But for the grand sake of boredom and continuity, I'll recap what has happened in my life this past year.

I am now a Flight Attendant. First big girl job, and yes, I essentially found a way to travel the world and get paid doing it. I spend the majority of my time running around an aircraft delivering drinks to people while they tell me things like "next time, bring it faster."  Or I get yelled at for everything from expired drink coupons to weather. Because I control the weather. I appear to be a walking garbage disposal, am confused with being a mind reader and sometimes get stuck babysitting both children and adults to a certain extent. But in reality, it's not all drinks and crankiness, it's also the best kept secret in the job market. I get to sing, be my crazy, weird and random self, and make toilet paper cakes and crowns for people. I'm trained in self defense and am fully able to command an evacuation and potentially save lives if necessary. I get to meet tons of people every day, who sometimes compliment me on strange things like the strength of my thumbs or my resemblance to Katniss. I've made some of the best friends of my life and I get paid to hang out with them. Also, I have the ability to make a difference in other peoples lives through safety or customer service and it's pretty cool being able to make that much of an impact. So despite the sometimes long hours and difficult days, it's pretty much the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.  I do realize I threw my 9 college internships down the drain when I chose this career, and it's not some high paying 9-5 job that brings in the big bucks but at the end of the day, I get to be me. And I couldn't be happier. 

Along with this big girl life change, I made yet another move, to Las Vegas, Nevada. I now reside in a lovely apartment with one of my best friends from training and even bought furniture for the first time in my life. A couch, and a bed. That's as close to getting settled as it's gonna get people. Does this mean I'm grown up now? I'd say so. At least a little bit.

So that's all of the updates I feel like you should get from me; it's pretty much been work work work with a few vacays that I'll probably post about... Within the next year :-). Who ever would've guessed that my life would truly become the definition of a "Life in a Suitcase?"

Not me. But if the shoe fits...
