Life will always bring you back down

With my fabulously coincidental and remarkable first 2 days here, I was bound to have a somewhat not so exciting, less cool day. Today was that day.
I was pretty jazzed this morning with all the good luck that had been coming my way, "gosh, it's only Wednesday of my first week and I have two interviews lined up", quickly turned into "oh well, you can't win em all..." As I checked my e-mail this a.m. to make sure I didn't have any other news coming my way, I came across an e-mail from the employer of my second interview..."sorry but the position you are coming into interview for has already been filled. We apologize." Greeeaattt. And that was the interview I actually wanted to go to. The other one was some property management/HOA type of company and they had warned me that there might be an evaluation, ummm k. After I walked 2 miles in the GHETTO (my first un-scenic walk since I have arrived), I showed up to be immediately told that I had 45 minutes to complete a test, 2 pages of MATH problems (AHHHH don't these people know who they are dealing with?! I'm a journalism major, hello?) and one page of essay questions and internet research, what jerks. Although I seriously thought of pretending to use the restroom and bolting out of there, I instead put my tail between my legs and proceeded to do MATH. Actually, I think I surprised myself but then I again I don't know if I actually got any right, I just thought I may have (possibly, probably not).

Needless to say, today was not the day I was expecting but it's all good in the hood because these are the days that make me appreciate the extraordinary ones. I spent the rest of the afternoon grocery shopping (wine please!) and applying to numerous jobs. We shall see what Thursday brings.

Oh almost forgot. Tuesday night was a blast, went to meet up with my bus route friend and ended up having a lot of fun. We ended up at a famous dive bar called Zeitgeist where there was an outdoor beer garden full of bikers, hipsters, scenesters and the rest who were trying to be of the above mentioned crowds. The guy, very sweet and fun, ended up being from Boston and working at one of Charity's local hang outs in JP called The Milky Way, weird right? Also, the night before he apparently had a SF coincidental happening where he ran into an old friend of his from Australia who was only in town for a few nights and they happen to run into one another on the street, neither one knew the other was here. Crazy stuff, and that guy ended up coming out with us and was extremely nice and the six degrees of seperation don't stop. The Australian used to date a girl who went to Clemson of all places, and he knew a ton about Clemson and loved it there! Very strange stuff I tell ya, very strange.

Cinco De Mayo - Christina is too hungover from the night before to come hang out with me at my apartment, looks like it's me and Ella and bottle of wine tonight. Mad love blogworld.
