"I'm determined to make partner in this firm, even if I have to be a lesbian partner."
It was after dismissing a night of perfectly acceptable drunkenness with some of my best friends because I had to be at CEJIL at 9 AM that I realised what this work business really means.
Even though it's just an internship, the sense of responsibility kicked in, and I've begun to perceive just how different work is from college. When you're working, people actually expect you to show up. People actually pay you to show up.
I've been working longer hours now that I'm on vacations in order to compensate for the trip to Montevidéu I'm taking on August. This means two things: for one, I'm gaining some extra knowledge within my area of expertise that will come in handy in the future. On the other hand, it's like I'm not on vacations, and I barely have time to think about my problems.Which can be a good thing.
After my meeting at PUC was canceled, I found myself with the afternoon free. Thinking on what I needed to do, I came to the conclusion that the former sentence was a significant overstatement. I've come to discover for the past three months that when you work all day you don't actually have time for those little things you have no trouble finding time for in other circumstances, like taking your cat to the vet, having your nails done, waxing, and going to the bank.
Growing up is tiresome, but I have to say it's been an amazing experience —even if that means saying 'no' to friendly company and alcohol every once in a while because you need to be apt to do your job the next morning.

I need to talk to you about the party.
I mean, I'll go to your home later, I won't go to the first part 'cause I'll be so tired and stressed and pissed about the bank and I REALLY will need to take a shower and some breathe before... So I need your address and some simples instruction about how get there -- plus those you'd told me on Sunday, obvious hahaha

...ok, that's a lie. I totally freaked out when I turned 20. I think I still do sometimes.
I don't think there's an straight answer to "how are you suppose to grow up?". You just...do :)

I need to watch that movie again. Only saw it once, I think. *frowns*
PS: loved the icon.

I love the saying of the icon, I would snag it anyway even if it wasn't a Ravenclaw one XD

And, yeah, I was talking about the saying! I am a huge Rent fan. One of the best musicals ever, and I also cry e-v-e-r-y single time.

De qualquer forma, eu só queria te dizer que eu tenho certeza - na medida de que alguém imaturo e pouco crescido pode ter - de que você está no caminho certo. E que os eventuais pânicos do percurso não são nada além de perfeitamente naturais.
Tudo isso é meio cafona de se dizer, então vou parar por aqui e depois a gente conversa. xD

Pois é, eu juro que eu fico me perguntando quando é a que vida ficou tão complicada! xD
Mas é bom saber que a gente sempre vai se ter pra superar todas essas questões, né? Como diz a Carrie, "I have a good safety net."
Não achei cafona o seu comentário. Foi bonitinho ^^ Adorei (mas, até aí, eu sou meio cafona também.)
Amo =*
