Intro to Reading: Blog 3

I read for 1 hour and 35 minutes from the book, The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger.

The next part of the book was about how Andrea learns about the difficulties of juggling her big job and her personal life.  Andrea learns more and more how demanding her job really is as she is tied to her phone and must take calls and deal with errands or crisises at all hours of the day, night, and week.  She quickly learns that all of these demands, if she wants to succeed at them and be good at her job, are pushing her further away from the people she loves (her best friend, her parents, and her boyfriend).  She struggles with going on with the job that will get her exactly where she wants or holding onto the people who are most important in her life. 

This story is interesting and even more so as I can feel it hitting the climax.  It's hard when you are caught inbetween to things that you want most.  I think you have to go back to your roots and to your beliefs; think about what is your heart or gutt telling you to do.  We have to think about in the end, what is going to make us happier:  a great job or great relationships?
