Dude.

Long time no post, ay? It's been hectic. I had a LOT of stuff to do for my visa interview for France, and I started a new job. It was crazy.

I hate the new job, but what's new? I'm bummed though, because I thought it was something other than it was, but instead, I found out it's the same old thing, working for people who trivialize what I do. I'm so tired of that. It's why I studied landscape design and why I make jewelry. I guess it's good this isn't any different; if it was, I'd probably lose sight of the bigger picture, which is that I really want to be my own woman. Which is why I went into business for myself. So thank you, big production company, for sucking.

I've been really down, lately. I don't know if it's the stress of preparing for 6 months overseas, or what, but it's been fairly hideous. I really look forward to the sabbatical in France: losing weight, working on the book, finding myself. It'll be good. Right?

ttyl,
Jenie
