First Monday....

I am half way through my first Monday in Los Angeles. Most people hate Monday's, myself included, but this Monday was not bad. This could, and most likely, is because I didn't HAVE to be awake today. Although, I am finding that I am waking up earlier than normal and, the thing is, I want to wake up. I wake with the sun, and although it is hot and we don't have air conditioning in our apartment, I don't mind getting up and starting my day.

I should probably begin by explaining my situation and where I am as a human in my life journey, so that we are all on the same page... I just recently graduated from Ball State University located in Muncie, IN in May. I visited Los Angeles with my best friend Marisa and then after a summer in Illinois decided to move out and pursue a career in casting/talent management. My ex-boyfriend, but still great friend, Jeremy, lives here in the Miracle Mile area with roommates, Shane and Justin. They offered me their large dining room closet for a decent price and so here I am.

I am currently sitting at Starbucks, escaping the heat after having gone grocery shopping and having lunch, and I am planning the rest of my day. I have a few goals for the today that I will be completing after this entry. I personally am a very goal oriented individual and run very well on a daily goals / to-do list. My goals today include making my closet a home, mailing a package, going to Target, and on the way to Target, using the LA Metro for the first time. Having moved here just on Wednesday the 10th, everything is completely new to me and my life is full of brand new experiences every single day. At times it can be scary and a lot to take in, but I love it! The thrill of new adventures is wonderful and I enjoy it so much!

Since Wednesday I have been fortunate enough to experience a plethora of events including going out in West Hollywood with the roomies and seeing The Simpsons take the Hollywood Bowl with Eric, Michael, and new friends! I am so thankful for the experiences I have had so far and I look forward to so many more as I begin this new and wonderful time in my life. I am driven, optimistic, and determined. I will be taking on LA with my friends and family near and far, who support me 100 percent, 24/7, and all of you here that are following my blog.

Many more adventures to come as I tackle the job hunt this week!

XOXO,
