Interning: Week Five, Stayin' Alive



One month of answering phones, compiling media lists and commuting by foot, car, bus and train later, I've reached that terrifying point where I realize that I have no idea what I'm going to do next.

Going for a $10/hour internship would mean committing to a life of interning at a firm for at least six months, although the experience I would gain there would be invaluable in furthering my career. If I look for a real job, it might be great for a few years (and I could expedite the move out of my parents house!) but I'm afraid I'll end up getting pigeon-holed into a position that offered few opportunities for advancement.

While thoughts like this have kept me tossing and turning the past few nights, I think the best thing to do is to let things unfold organically and to not stress out about it...until I have absolutely have to. And to help me with that process, I'm going to drink less coffee, look into evening yoga classes, live out my big city dreams at the only cocktail bar in Kent and pray that providence decides to step in soon!

K'nish in a pinch

One of the challenges I have discovered this past week has been trying to come up with food I could just grab-and-go on my way out the door in the morning and actually feel like eating by the time my lunch hour rolls around.

My solution for this next week is the Jewish staple snack: K'nish.

It's small but filling, it's portable and delicious.

Recipe: Is that my Bureka?

*The only thing I changed was that I doubled to dough recipe and added copious amount of Hungarian paprika and sharp cheese to the filling. Also, mine look considerably more misshapen than normal k'nishes.*

He is, the most interesting man in the world.

Best. Christmas gift. Ever.

I saw this fascinating man hanging in a forgotten corner of an antique shop in downtown Kent; my mom caught me staring at him in wonder and couldn't believe why I was interested in something so bizarre and tacky. In my opinion, there is a very fine line between abhorrent and awesome; and this man, I believe, encompasses all that is and ever will be awesome.

Six months later, I found him waiting under the tree.

When I have my own place, my plan is to decorate my apartment in a way that is very minimalist and chic--except for this painting that will be hanging in the entry way or above the fireplace and of which I will never acknowledge of make reference to. He will simply be there, out of place, unrelated and eternally awe-inspiring.
