Where do I even begin?!....Hi Lol...
Okay, Ever since graduation (last post) things kind of just went into overdrive! And here I thought I'd actually have MORE time after I was done. Oops :p
Well, to make a long story short, (too late) I was promoted to full time at my architecture job in Baltimore, but wasn't getting the respect or pay grade I deserved. Plus the company was a sinking ship, and I figured in a few months time the place would be bankrupt. So I needed out, but where to go?!
I wanted to be closer to my BF, and Canada, so beginning January 2017 I applied to literally every single architectural firm in New England. That took months of calling people, setting up interviews, being rejected, yadda yadda! I was really hoping to get a job in Maine. Why?! Cause out of all the states I have visited, that was my favorite. Anyways, finally landed two jobs in Maine! I was so excited!! Moved up there in July 2017. Jobs were immediately a bust: one was a summer internship that didn't pay shit, and the other (the money maker) decided not to hire me after I made the move...even though I busted my ass to line that job up!! House I was staying in sold almost immediately upon me arriving so then a mad dash to not only make money, but also find a place to live was top priority.
Found a job in Massachusetts, while still living in Maine. Every week I'd have to travel back and forth (2.5 hour drive one way) for practically no compensation. After the house sold, I was briefly homeless, living in my car, but then eventually I found an apartment in Massachusetts.
All this happening in a span of about a month and a half! Phew!! I think that covers most of that...
So now I am living in Massachusetts, working in Boston at a really nice preservation architecture firm. I have a tiny little apartment that's just me near the Rhode Island border, and everything now is finally on track!
Hopefully soon I can start traveling again and visiting my fuzzy friends :D
So for those who were like "Is Kellogg even a 'thing' anymore?!" This is what's been going on :p

NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER
A-LA LALALALALALALALA
I hope things are well for you after all that, and I hope it all
gets better from this point on. Hopefully, we'll all get to see
you at one of the local meets or something. I'm living about
90-minutes north-west of ya and I'm planning on going to a
meet soon. I haven't seen anyone or been anywhere since
Furpocalypse back in October. Any how... Best wishes, doggo!
