hello new york.

so the verdict is in and next quarter i'm going to: NEW YORK.

i have to say, i'm more excited about this than the past two. mostly because i pretty much knew for sure i would get brazil and london, but this one had a lot of steep competition. i'm also relieved because most people haven't heard yet. we were one of the first teams. so thank good.

i also have to say, i'm ready to come home for a little. traveling around is exciting and all, and ive heard so many times how people are jealous, but honestly it wears on you. i'm ready to be done and settle down in one city and actually have a home to go to, not some flat with bunk beds and 9 other roommates. thank goodness NY has its own housing. at least i know that is already set and secured. all i have to do is get there early so i can get my own room. not to mention, the housing is free. i dont think too many people in their life have a chance to live in NY for free. so i'm definitely excited about that. plus i have a friend who lives in astoria, where the house is, and she loves it. i'm driving up to PA so i'll have my car there, which even if i don't use it, makes me feel a little more at home and in control of my life.

the internship is at Y&R. i have two friends who already work there so that's good. i can't wait. it's on madison avenue. i guess i'll get a real taste of what it's like to live and work in NY, which is good in case i decide to stay there post-graduation. another thing i'm so excited about is having so many friends living in the philly/NY area. it'll be nice to finally have people around that i know.

so on that note, i'm going to celebrate tonight by seeing Wicked. supposedly one of the best shows on broadway right now. i'm going by myself, working on my independent womanhood. i can't wait. i'm actually pretty excited about going by myself. all is well in the london world. three weeks of the internship left, sab will be here in two weeks. and i'll be home in PA for two weeks before heading to NY.

cheers. :)
