In New York that is. A week from now I will be starting my last semester as an undergrad! How freaky is that!? Who ever thought that I would be graduating early. I only passed 2 APs!
I'm also a little over a month away from my 21st. Woot. Now I can become a full-blown-out wino. This is going to be just like in London when I picked up a bottle of wine from the grocery store just for the hell of it. However, I've got to start saving money, because I know that alcohol is going to be huge drain on my budget.
Also, I am, OFFICIALLY, an intern at Harper's Bazaar. I turned down some other good opporuntities for this, so I hope it works out. Sometimes I think that it would've been a smarter choice to go for the BBDO intenrship, but I know that Harper's will be just as good.
WHENEVER I spend a good amount of time in California being back in New York is always bittersweet. It's a love/hate relationship. I miss New York when I'm in Cali and I miss Cali when I'm in New York. And that feeling is always stronger when I get back to the City. I really don't know where I want to pursue my career, but it I had to choose today I'd choose to go back West. I really need to start thinking about this, but I usually am so busy that I have no time and before I know it the semester will be over. I mean, I just got back this morning and I'm already at work. A part of me feels that I came to New York to get my degree and having completed that mission I would return, but now I can picture myself starting a real life here, which is weird because I am so utterly cut off from my family back home, and that's just not part of my core values--being so far away from loved ones that is. On the other hand, New York is so full of life, opportunity, and different things that I feel that I may be bored and resentful iif I move to another city. Another part of my also wants to throw all caution to the wind in January and travel, but I have no idea how to accomplish that on my own.
