Hello friends, I have missed our little weekly chats. Up until recently, I had been quite occupied with my Psychology GRE exam as you all know. Well that exam has come and gone and it actually went pretty smoothly. However, I will not know for certain until I receive my test scores in 2 weeks. Now I'm a bit stuck. I put all my mental energy into the Psychology GRE and it's currently very difficult to focus on conquering the next exam. However, I am only a practice test or two away from the finish line so the only thing left to do is sprint towards that bright red tape.


Speaking of bright red tape, I have a lovely SPIN bracelet wrapped about my wrist from yesterday. We had a big event with Ray Ban and that little bracelet granted me access to areas that even the VIPs couldn't enter...because I was working. While I can't imagine anyone relishing the thought of slaving away on a beautiful autumn Saturday (I know I didn't), I dare to say that it was worth it. Not because of the slave labor we endured, but because I finally got a chance to speak to my other co-workers. They all definitely know my name and I think some of them may remember me on Monday at this point. What can I say, I'm opening doors and climbing up ladders...I hope. The concert ended up being the most fun I've had in a while. The Rapture played again, this was my second time seeing them perform and they have yet to disappoint me. Crystal Castles was the headliner and while that style of music isn't my cup of tea, the lead singer is a crazy performer which made it fun to watch. Half of the set consisted of stage dives. I wake up this morning with painful feet from yesterday and in desperate need of a massage, but the perks that I'm receiving from SPIN are entirely worth the work.


And now I'm off to run that final lap. I can't wait to have my life of job hunting and music making back on Tuesday evening. This is me getting mentally geared up and ready to go. Wish me luck!
