Big Announcement No. 2

Another week, another big announcement (that makes me sound so important so I love to say it).

As my USEF internship comes to a close, I've had to start wondering about my future once again. My ultimate goal is to stay in Lexington because I 100% love it here. So in came typical Melissa.

If you know me, you know that I get pretty crazy ideas and most of the time, I don't give them a second thought after looking over the "reality" of them. That's probably a good thing.

But last week, I got a crazy thought and when I couldn't find many cons for it, I stuck with it and let it build. I contacted Jen, laid out my plan and got her approval. Then I went to the Paulick Report and asked for their approval just in case it would be a conflict of interest. After a few nerve-racking hours, I received approval from that side. 

I then e-mailed Jen back and told her that I had the necessary approval to go on with my plan. (If you're still with me here, congrats!)

So as of January, I will be working at the Paulick Report during the weekends and a marketing intern at Three Chimneys two afternoons a week. 

My internship with the USEF ends December 7, although I may try to change that, and I'm planning on going home for a month to recharge my batteries as the few weeks I had between graduation and moving here were mostly spent running around.

I may also try to find a new apartment to move into as living in the dining room of a friend's isn't the best situation for long term. However, that one is still up in the air at this point.

So there you have it.  As of January, I will be fully involved in the horse racing industry. I will also be taking more steps towards moving to Lexington permanently. Oh boy! 

And just as an extra for those that know my joke about taking over the world...
