Anyways, day 1. Worked today, just the usual waitressing job. Exceeeept, I'm lucky enough to work outside, along a beautiful harbor, serving delicious seafood and drinks, with a fun staff.
I really can't complain, plus the money is good. If anything would keep me from having motivation to grow up and get a REAL job, its this. However, I've been home for a month now, and to be quite honest, as fun as it is, I can not WAIT to start working at a firm, doing what I love. It's so hard going from college, working in such an incredibly design-centered environment, to coming home and having to really explore the options to stay involved in design. I am looking into volunteer programs abroad and local, as well as any organizations that I can involve myself in in the Boston area. This website, http://www.buildingimpact.org/ has recently been brought to my attention, and I am definitely interested! It is a community based volunteer program that works in various areas of greater Boston to help those less fortunate. The program focuses on placing volunteers within their area of expertise. The idea is that by connecting yourself to your community through volunteering and involvement, you become more aware of needs and issues that can be addressed to build a stronger community. Very cool!
