cha cha cha changes...

so...a lot of you know about my original plans for life in New Orleans. Well, those have changed quite a bit in the last few weeks. Subbing was great, but turned out to be quite inconsistent, as well as a long commute. So I started looking for jobs closer to home...in the neighborhood even. Last week, I got hired at Starbucks. I know...how crazy to move all the way to New Orleans from Seattle and wind up working at Starbucks. But hey, it's a really great place. Great environment, great people, great coffee. What more could you ask from a job?

I'm also taking a short break from school. I'd planed on starting back up in March...which proved to be extremely stressful. Now I'm planning on going back in the fall, which opens up time to officially intern with Communitas-New Orleans. It's a lot of changes, but I'm actually loving it...finding things that really jazz me. Ah life. :)

I love your blog! (Kate and I are really into blogs...fyi). I love the pics.

I'm glad you found out that subbing is not for you now rather than when you are "stuck" in a career.
