A Bit Delayed

I have been a terrible procrastinator the last few days, but I think as a recent college graduate, having overloaded on too much to do into too short of a period of time over the last few years, I think that is excusable. The last 2-week have been busy ones!

After my last posting I left for a week of hiking out west in Bryce Canyon National Park, Zion National Park, Sedona, and the Grand Canyon. Having lived in Michigan for the last few years in a dorm room lacking air conditioning, you would think that I would have realized that there is a reason I like living on the coast so much, well apparently that bit of information slipped my mind in the planning of this trip. Even though it is May and should be relatively cool, I melted most days. Ninety degrees (regardless of it being a "dry heat" as I was so frequently reminded) is not my idea of fun. Aside from the heat it was a very nice week and an area that I will have to visit again (hopefully when I, fingers crossed, drive across country).

After returning to the much more bearable weather of New York I was quickly set to work at the winery doing a bit of bottling and on top of that have managed to get myself a job at a local winery, as a bar tender in their tasting room. The last few days have been spent training in my new job, watching as many old House episodes as I can (as I am depressingly behind), trying my best to make up for the past 3 years of sleep deprivation, and catching up with friends from high school. 

This morning, rising bright and early to the sound of my alarm at 6am, which unfortunately happens more mornings than not, I set off to work a farmers market in Greenport for Suhru Wines. Having never before worked a market, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it, as well as how successful I was with sales. I have never thought of myself as much of a salesperson, but apparently that is a skill that I can add to my arsenal.  As the weeks go on I am quickly finding my schedule filling up, which should make for a nice and exciting summer, and as I promise to be more faithful to this blog and more consistent with my postings, hopefully an exciting summer for me will lead to interesting blogs to read. Until next time! (Which hopefully will be sooner than 2 weeks from now.)
