Finally, this week is over.

This has been the worst week in a long time.. one of those nothing goes right weeks.. when so many frustrating annoyances keep happening, resulting in an amplified rawr!!!

Yes, I feel like letting out a dinosaur rawr! RAWWWRR! okay. good. got that out of my system.

I don't want to talk a lot about my particular annoyances, but I will say that I am #1- so ready to have my studio at Marquette next year! I think having my own room in the fall and the spring set me up for a big fail this summer. Not that I haven't shared a room before, not that I don't like roomies.. but I do like having personal space! Also, Rheanna's and my room has this awkward 2 foot gap at the top of the wall (NYU's way of claiming it's a bedroom when it probably never was...). So basically, our bedroom is a poor excuse for a bedroom. Blah! We're learning to deal with it though.

#2- I'm sick of feeling lost in this city! I thought I had the transportation system under control but then I got totally lost the other day and missed one of the intern lunches AT HEARST TOWER!!! aka the most beautiful building in NYC (for journalism nerds). Anyway, I was so mad at the subway system (obviously the subway is the scapegoat of my anger) that I trekked to the nearest Jamba Juice and ordered a MEDIUM. that's right, a Medium smoothie. Take that subway. Then I laid in Central Park :)

#3- My Strongbow glass, taken from City University's campus bar in London, is MIA. I am so depressed. That glass is so sentimental and I have no idea where it went. It grew legs and walked away. being in NYC made it all independent or something. But really, I want it back. Sooner the better.

#4- Also sick of feeling dirty, sweaty and gross in this city. I swear, I look all nice in the morning before work, but once I step in the subway station, I suddenly get this opposite car wash effect where I come out of the subway looking god awful. How do all these beautiful professional working people stay beautiful?

#5- And why are there so many people in this huge city, yet I feel so lonely? I'm like a little ant. No one knows me here... which in some ways is kinda cool, but in others, is just weird. I miss Marquette where I can say hi to multiple people while walking around campus. I want to know people! Bah humbug.

That quote "If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere..." in Alicia Key's song is so true. NYC is easy peasy when you're a tourist. Hotels, Broadway, shopping, eating out, M&M world, you name it. But when you're living here? Not so easy. Fun, yes, but I dare you to find me someone to says it was an easy transition to live here. This city definitely tests your limits..

Point is: if I can survive this summer and come out happy, successful, with friends and new tricks to avoid subway-makeup-destruction... then I can possibly say that I made it here. Maybe.

So anyway, after a frustrating week, it's time for my 5-day weekend, thanks to having the 4th off, and my usual Tuesday/Wednesday off.

I am headed to WASHINGTON D.C. to visit Marie for two days. Cannot wait to see here! Lucky me, gets to see Marie twice in a month. :)

NYC and I are on a break for the weekend. Catch ya later big apple.
