i made this playlist today. and felt like sharing.

it has come and gone

my first day in the "real world"
it was pretty real too

driving to work this morning seems like AGES ago
and i remember thinking:
this is the first time i'm driving "to work"
i "work" in dallas
i am a "young professional"

strangely enough these things are not what i saw
when i used to think of my future
but- i think i like it
so far at least

sitting in orientation my mind wandered
i was daydreaming about this new life
wearing high heels everyday
and not minding?
feeling good about it?

this is not the becca that once existed

i started to think about all the things i thought i would do
all the non-profits i would volunteer for
the lives i would change
and there i was-
sitting in an office in corporate america
talking about profitability
and trade secrets
and things i never thought i would care about it

this question came to mind:
so am i abandoning my dreams?

i don't think so.
this thought process proves it i think
to me at least
i just have to have a little jumpstart
get on my feet

and when i figure out what i'm really supposed to be doing
i will do it
wholeheartedly
with no reservation

until then-
good morning corporate america
and good night casual becca

:)

hunter showed me these

and i love them.


new young pony club- the bomb


new young pony club- ice cream

eeeeeeeee!

the irony of it all

so i share a washer and dryer with two other people who live in the same stairwell as me. i've been waiting since tuesday for them to apparently wash every piece of fabric in their home. i've checked multiple times each day and every time there has been a different load of clothes in the washing machine. it made me feel like they were scheming "lets wash clothes all day to make the new girl hate us."

so today- i got downstairs to check and YES! there are no clothes in the washing machine. so i run upstairs and get my detergent and my sheets that i've been wanting to wash since TUESDAY so i can finally sleep in a normal bed again (its been since graduation thanks to the crib i slept in at pershing). so i try to start the washer with my sheets and detergent inside it and it starts to hum- like its about to fill up with water.
i'm relieved.

that was 45 minutes ago. the washer is still humming.
there is still no water in it.

WHAT THE FUCK.

adorable

here are some pics of the new place. its still as mess as you can tell. but for any of you that have ever seen anywhere i have lived, itll look relatively clean. also photobooth makes everything a mirror image of what it should look like. so reverse the images in your head. because i know everyone is capable of that.

this is from the dining room looking into the living room. the door you see leads to my adorable balcony. i don't have a couch yet, so hopefully in the near future there will be one right around where that white plastic storage thing is. ikea here i come as soon as i get that first check.


so i flipped it in iphoto but added it from photobooth and can't flip it. deal.
this is my extremely small but cute kitchen. the view is from the top of the refrigerator.

this is from the front door looking into my bedroom. i usually just come in the back door by the kitchen though because the parking lot is back there. come visit me and i'll show you. and you can even watch my baby tv set. its so old and cute.

i'm not going to post any of my bedroom bc its just a bed and a dresser in a not very squared room.

also- they turned on my cable and internet yesterday. this is the first time i've ever had digital cable. it is SO RAD!

i'm here

so i just moved in.

still unpacking.

pictures to come.
