life - getting hectic

now that i'm posting a bit more often... and let's hope that continues... i have to say my life is crazy.

i have three jobs, two apartments, a boyfriend, and a million little things taking up my time.

now don't get me wrong my life is awesome! i really wouldn't change anything for the world. (well... maybe somethings, like how much i owe in student loans.)

so the three jobs... i think i've written about this before, but i just want to let every know nothing has changed for the most part. i'm working three days for an interior designer doing autocad work. i work part-time for a material library company. i used to have one account, and i would sometimes cover other people's accounts. then i had two accounts, but the new one was just a half day here and there. now the second account has seen the light, and they are expanding the time i spend there. so now i work two days a week, between two accounts. there was also this in-between period where i was supposed to have extra hours at my first account, but that was VERY short-lived. the third job is as a project manager's assistant. this is what i really want to do. make sure things get built. the hours are completely random - a couple here, a couple there, nothing consistent. this job is going to suffer with the actual usage of all five working days by my other jobs. what makes it that much more crazy is that at three jobs (four if you include the two different library accounts) are in different locations.

the even crazier part is the living situation. i have an apartment of my own, and my boyfriend has his own apartment. a rare thing in nyc. we both don't live with roommates, so it's all very redundant. but i love having my space and things are working out so no need to rock the boat by moving in together. the crazy part is commuting to and from my apartment, his apartment, and my four job locations. i'm not always sure where i'm going. the one thing i would change is working from home... oh if i could!!!

my boyfriend is great. he is always super supportive and let's me be crazy. (you couldn't change that about me no matter how hard you tried!) i was sort of scared about moving back, but it's working out great. a big blow was finding out his greencard application was getting audited right after moving here. the thought that he might have to leave the country just as we were finally living in the same city was too much. but his application has since been approved, and now we're just waiting for the paperwork to get sorted out. (another reason we did not move in together... we weren't sure if he was going to be here to pay his part of the rent!) everything is running smoothly so no complaints there.

the million other things occupying my time are so numerous i could never talk about all of them here. if i haven't written about them before, i'm sure i'll write about them eventually so you'll definitely get the dish. they generally follow similar lines: finances/student loan debt, apartment furnishing, getting more work (the kind that will further my career), staying in touch with friends, living/eating healthy, general big city annoyances, family crazies, and etc. that's just the past two days.

i hope you've enjoyed this glimpse into my life. and that it makes yours seem that much easier, or that it helps you realize that you are not alone in the multi-tasking world we live in.
