It's been a while...
Today I'm going to do a real- live update. Not just a celebrity- sighting or cryptic one- liner post. For real.
For the most part, I've been really enjoying my life in New York City. I'm so happy here- the move here was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made. Despite the break-neck pace of life, I find myself so much more relaxed, less- stressed and generally better than in Florida. I don't know what "it" is... but I like "it."
What have I been up to? Living life like it's golden. Honestly. Carpe Diem- ing. Shopping for deals and getting lost (which is largely impossible because all the streets and avenues are numbered) have been occupying my time. I have also been seeing shows- so far I've seen: The Producers (avec Colette), Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Color Purple, Chicago, Doubt, Into the Woods, Wicked, and Mama Mia. In 3 weeks, I'll be seeing The Lion King. Student rush is really a lifesaver- you can't beat $26.00 for Tony Award winning shows. Out of all of these, Chicago was my favorite. They were all really good (EXCEPT MAMA MIA), but there's just something about the way they presented it... simply amazing.
I've been spending a lot of time with friends, some of whom are going to graduate in a month. It makes me sad, especially since I have made real connections with some of those people, and it's not going to be the same after they split and go into "The Real World." You promise and swear you're going to stay in touch, but Facebook messages and a phone call every now and then are not the same as making midnight runs to Duane Reade (or CVS, if applicable), avoiding drug dealers in the park where you shouldn't be walking anyway because it's after dark, dining at sketchy Indian restaurants where a 6 course meal is 5 dollars...
School is okay. Last semester I got very good grades, but I feel myself losing it. It's harder to BS something you have no idea about. I've discovered, however, that if I actually do the readings, I am better off. But I love psychology. LOVE. For real. I think I'm going to be a psychologist. I'm so excited.
Love life... N/A.
Or should I say "non-existant." It's frustrating, but what can I do? I should be focusing on school anyway. Right?
I got the RA job, yay me! But I also applied for a job that is similar to my job, but in Res Ed., the Community Educator Assistant (or Assistant Coordinator, for you Seminoles). I should find out if I'm getting that job either this week or next week. It's really funny because the person who is taking over my current job is also from FSU, I think her name is Sarah. Good times.
I've lost 16 lbs. I'm pretty excited about that. I have about 46 or so more pounds to go, but it doesn't seem as unattainable as it was. I think it will probably take me about a year or so, especially if I stick to a healthy lifestyle. I'm hoping that I get the job somewhere kinda far so I will have to walk to campus instead of just across the park.
Well, friends, I think that's it. I promise I won't leave you in suspense for this long again.
Muuuuaaaaahhhhh!!
