This week at the radio station I got to spend a few days at the beautiful Chautauqua Institution acting as producer and assistant for the Jim Roselle Show. Chautauqua is an interesting place because you just never know who you'll end up meeting. I met some great people visiting from across the United States, a few doctors, an author, a Chaplin, and even a gentleman who worked for the Associated Press for 40 plus years! It was an amazing experience and I got to watch the legend Jim Roselle do what he does best. I also got to be board operator this week, which is always fun. Picking songs, reading news, and making sure everything goes smoothly. But I got to end my week as the stand in News Director for the station. It was so much fun having the opportunity to write, produce, and deliver the news. After this first week I am even more sure that the decision to live at home and gain more experience was the right one. The time flew by this week and I never felt like I was doing "work," which means there is no doubt that I picked the right career.
What made this week even sweeter was that I traveled to Cleveland, Ohio to visit my sister- newly moved in freshman- at Kent State University and stay with my best friends in their new apartment! It was so much fun to see my sister who is loving college life! Going to a big school away from home was the best choice for her. She is so in her element, and I am so happy she has found her place. Now I anxiously wait for her to go through recruitment and hopefully find a group of girls that she can call her forever friends. I visited my forever friends and we picked up right where we left off. Brunching in their new apartment, going for dinners, running errands, and laughing til it hurt. It was such a blast and I didn't want to leave! But I am making a promise to myself to try and get out there one weekend a month if they'll have me! And I'll always bring them fun presents for their new home since they're letting me crash there.
Overall post grad life isn't so bad. It took me a while to find the silver lining to it all, but I think I am slowly finding my way. At first I never thought that I would enjoy living at home and being away from my friends, but it's not so bad. It's all about balance and making everything work the best you can. I'm not going to say it was easy, but when is life easy? My E! True Hollywood Story won't be as exciting without some bumps in the road right? :)
