This Wednesday, I celebrated my last week in the city with my fellow commies (Kate & Brianna) and Sarah. We ended up going bowling at Bowlmor Lanes, enjoying some mixed drinks, and finishing the night off with the most AMAZING cupcakes from Crumbs. Not a bad way to say goodbye to the city :-)
I feel like a broken record, but this summer has gone by sooooo fast! Today is my last day of work, and tomorrow I'll be leaving NYC for good ol' Pennsylvania. It's a weird transitional time for me. On the one hand, I don't want to leave the city (or even JPMC) because I feel very independent here (I'm in the "real world"). Plus, there's always something exciting to do! For instance, I saw Jason Mraz perform live this morning (I pass where the Today Show is filmed on my way to work), and I can't think of a better way to start the day :-)
On the other hand, I'm anxious to move on to the next thing. I really want to get home, see my family, relax with my friends, move into my new apartment up in Syracuse, and start classes. I'll also have some more time to work on other creative projects! The first order of business when I get home is going through my room and getting rid of all the random crap I've accumulated. It's an ongoing battle with myself to not collect and save things that I don't need. I'm not always successful, which is why a purge is necessary. I love organizing anyway so it should be fun :-)
My parents are coming tomorrow to pick me up and then we're going to the MoMA and this really great rice pudding place called "Rice to Riches" Yum.

The First of The Last
Today marks the first day of the last week at my internship with JPMC. Part of me is so excited to be finished and heading back to SU, but part of me really just doesn’t want to leave New York City. It’s been very empowering to live here on my own, and I know now that I can make it anywhere! I wouldn’t have traded this internship for the world.
That being said, I am still slightly anxious/agitated about going back. I think what worries me most is the thought that I haven’t changed as much this summer as I initially perceived. I imagine that if I was to go back and examine the “Pre-summer Me” and the little moments that lead up to this “Present Me,” I would find a great difference, but as it is, I’m just illogically worrying about something I have no concrete way of gauging for myself.
I guess I’ll just hope that these changes are for the best!
Great Things Awaiting Yonder:
1. Moving into our new apartment with Allie, Margaret, and Marco!
2. Seeing everyone again at Syracuse before classes start
3. Senior Year
4. Playing soccer / being active again (been a bit lazy about the exercising thing, and it’s made me somewhat antsy this summer :-P )
5. Having time for creative endeavors (AORQuidditch…wouldn’t you like to know J )
