Who's A Winner At The Crying Game? ... Cynthia is!

I've been on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Everything was a tearjerker for me this weekend. I've never been the type to not have my feelings in check, but I literally had no idea when and if I was going to cry. That is a strange feeling.

I did a lot of crying in public. In bathrooms. In my room. In my friend's room and I think that's about it. But I had no tears today guys, so I'm obviously back to normal. I think the magnitude of my situation all hit me at once. In front of everyone at work. That was embarrassing.

I've moved across the country. My only friend has her own life going on. I have no friends ha and I can only talk to my family at random intervals during the daylight hours because of the time difference. I've just been lonely and overwhelmed. Being at a job that I'm not happy with doesn't help.

I don't want to sound like an entitled bitch, but I'm about to. I'm a college graduate. I'm working with high schoolers. Getting paid the same as high schoolers. That does a lot to your ego slash self worth. So finding a new job is a major to do for me BUT I know what kind of job I want and that job is in LA, so I'll have to settle for something boring. Ugh. If you know a super cool company in the Bay Area that's hiring, holla at your girl.

Besides crying all weekend, I walked around town a lot, found a couple of cool bars that I hope to become a regular at and I decided that I'm going to politely stalk the local independent filmmakers in this town.

Also I got this in a fortune cookie, so I must be headed in the right direction.

MD to CA: Week One

It's been a crazy week y'all. I arrived, I conquered and I'm still here.

San Francisco is as chilly as everyone says, so make sure to step your sweater game up if you plan to visit. I did not heed the warnings. I haven't been freezing but I'm the type that would rather sweat than shiver. Is everyone else like that? I take a sweater with me as often as possible, during summer in swampy D.C., so I won't lie, I was suffering in silence when I first landed in windy San Francisco.

Since then, I've adjusted to the weather, among other things. I found a great place to live in Oakland and in a record three days. I guess I was supposed to be suffering and struggling upon arrival but it's been a calm transition thus far. I definitely feel like I've been making the right decisions, but it can be very overwhelming at times. I think I'll cry week two or three, I'm going to try to hold out until four. I'll keep you updated.

My number one enemy at the moment: California hills. My legs have been worked out more in the past week than in the whole ten months I spent in suburban Maryland. It didn't help that those were probably the laziest ten months of my life, but damn, I wish I had been better prepared physically to be a Californian. Everyone runs and is super fit here, so I hope walking these hills will get me on that status. Main goal: to wear a crop top. When do I plan on doing that? I have no idea.

Anyways, welcome to the blog. I'll be posting as often and randomly as possible with updates on life, my stern East Coast opinion on these Westerners and my plans on world domination via writing, smiling, laughing and charming the silly people I meet. I just want to be rich some day without having to sell my body. Love ya if I know ya and love ya if I don't.
