One Month Anniversary
June 11. They say that in New York you are constantly looking for one of three things. A job. A home. A relationship. Well I don't really have any of those at the moment. SO am I not a New Yorker? I don't know. Over the last month I have thought about staying and going. And I have made a decision. I am going. I have dreamed about visiting the worlds greatest city almost my entire life, and I have done that now. And in a months time I will have done that even more than I had ever imagined. I have seen everything I wanted to see, except the city at Christmas, but I can always come back for that. I was given advice from a range of people. About how you have to let the city grow on you. And to be honest it has. But I am a person that can tell right then. And since I had qualms in my first day I knew it was not a good sign. I already have a job lined up for when I go home. I have applied for other opportunities when I go home as well. I even thought about another adventure to the other coast, for the LA experience. But that was just a thought. I mean the other day I considered a European experience. Experiences cost money. And after this experience I don't have that much to blow. In the coming month I have a list of places I want to see before I go. The Natural History Museum, Empire State Building, Russian Tea Room, see a Broadway Show, go to the Met roof top garden, the Brooklyn Bridge, Battery Park, Wall Street, Columbus Circle, Museum of Sex, and maybe the Frick Collection. Sounds like a lot. But I can do it. I have a visitor coming in a week for a week so we should be able to knock out a lot, and I can finish off the rest alone. This decision has made me feel... I don't even know. Elated, relieved, happy... as well as questioning my decision. But as I have also been told I am young and I have plenty of time to change my mind to a different path to pursue. Now that I have made this decision it makes me understand what I have to look forward to and how I need to consider my remaining time here in the Empire State.
