working girl

Last week I started working here - the Antiquities department at Christies. They deal with Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and all that good stuff. It's really interesting and everyone is so nice. I'm only an intern working 3 days a week. But my hope is that I will have full-time work at Christies in the not too distant future. We shall see.

I've started giving myself a crash course in Ancient Art through books and free lectures/guided tours at the Met. It feels good to be learning again. And I signed up for a weekly evening Italian class that will start at the end of September.

I'm also babysitting to earn some extra cash. For Labor Day weekend I went to the Jersey Shore with a family to help look after their two children. A nice little paid vacation at the beach. And I even got to play some blackjack in Atlantic City and make some more money. yay!
