I'm back and *Jennifer Hudson post weight loss voice* I am felling 
goodddddddd. It's been over five months since I have last blogged and 
many things have happened. Last December, I left my freelance consultant
 job at NJMS for a chance to live and intern in.... Washington DC! I think 
this has been the best career move I have ever made! 


All I can say is that I work on Capitol Hill and </atom:summary><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LightsCameraDrama/~3/x4gsX-Ujef4/im-back.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Lady Mel)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><description>&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LightsCameraDrama/~4/x4gsX-Ujef4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><feedburner:origLink>http://lightcameradrama.blogspot.com/2012/01/im-back.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615114803212254957.post-5606690584642222158</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Aug 2011 15:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-08-22T11:34:14.740-04:00</atom:updated><title>Where I Was Months Ago Is Not Where I am Now</title><atom:summary>
Today I start my second full-week of work! Yes I said work. Last month, I was given a full-time, 5 week temp job at the same department that I have working in for the past year. My confidence and professionalism paid off. Now I join the millions of grown ups across the world that are paid for a certain amount per month to get by. 

I should be excited and I am.

Since May,
I'm coming back to the blogging universe
In a new, constructive way
I have fewer volunteering hours
So I have more time to get my life together
And more time to blog.
So celebrate this momentous occasion
And get ready for the next installation
Of Lights.Camera.Drama!

Facebook COO Sheryl Sanberg was the Commencement Speaker of Barnard College's Class of 2011 graduates. Ever since I saw her TED Conference talk, I fell in love with her. She is an inspiration to every woman on the planet. I hope to do what my mother and her mother and her mother could not do: dream big!

Miia Maria's rendition of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" single is magical. She is very talented on the piano for such a young age. I hope she continues to understand that whatever she does in life, keep on going. You were born this way to achieve greatness, the only thing stopping you is yourself. You go girl. I'm glad Lady Gaga tweeted this video. I hope you love it as well. </atom:summary><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LightsCameraDrama/~3/EdIcfDLg9K4/video-of-week.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Lady Mel)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://img.youtube.com/vi/xG0wi1m-89o/default.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>2</thr:total><description>&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LightsCameraDrama/~4/EdIcfDLg9K4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><feedburner:origLink>http://lightcameradrama.blogspot.com/2011/02/video-of-week.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615114803212254957.post-4914963631015800194</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 Feb 2011 05:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-02-14T10:32:49.227-05:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Yolanda Adams</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Christina Aguilera</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">fashion</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Dianna Agron</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Vivienne Westwood</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Aretha Franklin</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Lady Gaga</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Jennifer Hudson</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Cee-Lo</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">The Grammys</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Gerard Butler</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Glee</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Lady Mel in the City</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Just Jared</category><title>Lady Mel in the City: Valentine's Day, Grammys Recap Edition</title><atom:summary>
