fingers crossed

I had my interview with WorkingClassStudio this morning. It went well, the team showed us around the space, which is this awesome studio inside a bridge - its crazy, and then the 12 of us interviewees showed examples and talked about our work. After I spoke about my work Sari, the director, said she had heard that I worked with bird bones. I was shocked she knew about that! It must have been obvious that I got really excited because Devin, the project manager, said that my eyes just lit up haha. Its always fun to shock people a little bit. Everyone is usually grossed out by it but they are always intrigued.


And this was my {I belong at WorkingClassStudio} interview outfit. A new Free People top from Terra Cotta, knickers from anthropologie and my fave greyish purple flats from Aldo (I wanted to buy more pairs but I cant find them online). I really hope to get this internship because It would definitely help my work and open up some doors. I'll hear something by Monday or Tuesday.

I feel stuck in the middle about a lot of stuff right now, like, wanting to make less of an impact on the environment and wanting to buy new clothes. gah! seriously though, Im slowly making changes to reduce waste and harmful effects on the environment.

So far, I have been driving less and riding my bike more. I only drive if its far away (out of the immediate downtown area), Im buying a lot of groceries, or its raining. I actually love riding my bike. It is a completely freeing feeling. Im not a slave to finding a parking spot or being stuck in traffic. Plus Im getting a great workout, the cruiser only has one speed and thats med-low so Ive really got to work if I want to go fast.

I am also trying to shop locally. I have been incorporating more groceries from Brighter Day and Polks Market, but we still occasionally make trips to Fresh Market and Kroger. Hopefully I will phase that out completely soon. We are signing up for a recycling program in Savannah because taking everything through the ghetto in the car is not something I want to continue doing. Also, and I wont go into too much detail, I have stopped using tampons and instead use the Diva Cup. Read the info on the site, its interesting.

More and more I am incorporating new things into my lifestyle so that I can make a small difference in this world. No Impact Man is my inspiration. I dont think I will every be able to take it as far as he is, but Im trying to figure out what works for me and try to achieve a good balance. My next step I think is to create a compost.

Later today my friend Cori is coming over so that we can give each other moral support when I clean off my bird bones and she cleans out her cow intestines. hahahah wow. this must sound very strange! Cori and I have a rough aesthetic I guess. But Im excited that we are working on similar things. I'll post photos later. For now Im off to get some spices for a dye experiment so have a wonderful day!
