New York will be amazing. Dirty, expensive, hard, moldy, cold, lonely, exhausting, and amazing. I can't wait.

Contemplations on the Big Apple
Yesterday my mom helped me move my stuff back home and we had a looong talk on the way home. I guess it's a little weird for me to open up to my parents about things that I would tell my friends in a heartbeat. That doesn't sound right, does it? In any case, she had no idea before yesterday that I was planning on moving to New York for my internship (like I have a choice--I can't ask the publishing houses to relocate!). Of course once she knew, she dedicated a goodly portion of the ride home telling me about all the awful things about old Eastern cities in general and New York in specific. She kept saying that she wasn't trying to dissuade me from pursuing my dreams, but that she only wanted me to know what to expect. Hmm. While I do believe that she wants me to be prepared for anything, after the fifth random fact about New York's disgusting buildings or their rent prices, I started to believe maybe she wasn't too keen on the whole idea.

ReplyDeleteNew York is basically the devil. You will lose your soul if you go there. On the other hand, nobody really needs a soul anyway. :)
ReplyDeleteI've spent a grand total of 6 hours in New York. You'll love it. I loved it. Nobody can understand who hasn't walked down Broadway; nobody who has can fail to understand.
ReplyDeleteI love New York.
