It ain't much, but it's all I got

I am still looking for that full time marketing position but while I find it, I will continue to work where I am now. If you have read Temporary Tempness you know I work at the public golf course here in town. It's not a bad job at all; you get to be outside, meet new people, deal with people should problems arise and best of all get paid.

With little money to spend I have to be wise as to what I use it on. As it turns out my computer bit the dust and I have been using my laptop to do just about everything. The computer was overdue for a breaking so I am kind of surprised that it lasted the 5.5 years it did. I have saved some money and worked some overtime in order to get a new one in the works.

I try and have pictures with as many posts as I can so here are some pictures from the time I was not able to write something on here.

Picturs from work: Griff Golf Course, Greenwich, CT

The pond on 8 has lots of frogs.


Before the golfers the morning looks amazing.



I went to Illinois for July forth. Here are some shots.

Greenwich Beach: Tod's Point




I only recently started taking my camera to work so I am sure more things will happen, so stay tuned.

Summer. So far, so good.

Well it has been a while since I have written anything, but that is just because I have been busy. I have found a job! That is one thing that has been keeping me busy, the other being staying in shape. But first the internship.I work two days a week unless they need me more, which is the case this week. I am interning for The On 3 Group here in Greenwich, and so far its been interesting. They do every aspect of an Ad. From the photography all the way to the layout. We are currently working on the bridal showcase so I have been working with the photographer to get things ready for the photo shoot day, such as do test shots of the scene, prep the product, place the product, lighting, even model a bit. This is all essential in the look and feel of what we would like to portray. More on this later in the week.

Staying in shape! This has been taking more time just because it's what I do after work and on weekends. My friend Spencer and I have been biking to the beach, which we found out was 8 miles one way. That a total of 16 miles + what ever we bike around Tod's point (the main beach here in town). We have been going to the gym as well which helps a but more with the trouble area of the body (the mid region). Toning is the name of the game, and so far it has been paying off. Speaking of biking and working out. I was painting my bike to get rid of some of the rust as well as protect it from the environment a little more, and here is the end result. Decided to go with the flat black and cardinal red as the accent. Came out looking good.




Things coming up:
Photo project - Greenwich from an animals perspective.
Photo project - Night Photos
Hiking - Still unsure where
Camping - Still unsure where
Finding a fall internship - Still unsure where


Thanks for reading and check out the website. I have been updating recently.

Summer - Under Construction!

Summer time is finally here. The semester is over, tests are done with, and all my essays/projects have been handed in. One would think that summer time relaxation period would kick in but as it turns out, this summer will be a bigger challenge then I expected.

I have dismissed all my residents so RA duty is over. I am not required to be in the residence hall to monitor anyone anymore, which allows me to at least enjoy my nights a little more. My RA job for the year is almost done now I am in charge of making sure every room is ready for the school to do any renovations it needs to do. I will soon be done with this aspect of my job, meaning I can focus on more important things like job hunting.

I am currently looking for a summer marketing internship but as it turns out, this is not as easy as I thought it would be; after finding one, I need to find a place to live here in Burlington, VT. Another thing that I have to find is a part time job because this summer will be quite expensive. I will be taking 2 classes on the side to add to my time/money consumption.

But luckily I am very optimistic so it should all work out in the end.

Wish me luck.
