I miss writing in this!!!
These past 2 weeks have seemed a lot longer than they actually were, mostly because of dun dun dun.... MIDTERMS. it's quite sad, actually! I haven't even had time to truly enjoy Halloween! I didn't even have time to assemble a poor, unoriginal costume. I didn't go to our SIPA party, and I'm missing out on a party tonight! BUMMER DEAL. In undergrad I would never have allowed that to happen. But I think this is what being older and having extremely low cold tolerance does to you (it's kind of blizzarding outside). I did manage to sneak in a party yesterday tho :) I was really torn and gonna try to go out tonight anyway, but I decided to be responsible because I would only regret it and if undergrad has taught me anything, it's that bad decisions can be made because life eventually works itself out anyway. Wait... that doesn't really advocate my attempts at being responsible... ANYWAY, I have a paper due tomorrow even though it's a Sunday *lamers* and a Stats midterm on monday which I have yet to start studying for. WOOHOO!
I don't remember midterms ever having been this condensed. But after these 2 weeks of hell ending on monday (ironicly Halloween) I'LL BE FREEEEEEEEE!!! Well till finals... but even then, my finals schedule isn't this bad.
AND I'M COMING HOME THIS THURSDAY!!! IM COMIN HOME, IM COMIN HOME! TELL P.DIDDY I'M COMING HOME!!!
MEXICAN FOOD and +50 degrees weather... YESSSS!!!
Till then, you can find me freezing and holed up in my cave. I wear 3 layers to bed. JEALOUS!??!

c.r.a.z.y.
It feels like I've been in NY for months! But I officially moved here about 7 weeks ago... life has taken off at lightning speed! And I can't believe I turned 24 less than a month ago. Where was I when that happened?!? Everything is changing... save me!
For one thing, I'm working 2 internships. Crazy.
3 papers, 2 midterms, within 2 weeks. Crazy.
A billion events happening simultaneously at all times. Kray Kray.
So why am I writing in this blog and not getting to work?! Crazy. Capital C.
I'm also missing Cali like crazy. Like coffee culture, guac-doused-nachos, running by the beach, driving on a whim, sunny-weather-everyday crazy. Like buying stuff from costco and target and plausibly bringing all that stuff home crazy. Like having enough space in my closet for all my clothes crazy... well maybe that last one is just too crazy.
Anyway, send me pictures of Cali please, of 405 traffic and greasy mexican food and Yardhouse HH and THE BEACH!!! It'll make me happy. Thanks.
Before I really go crazy :) Captial C.

Ok so, no, life hasn't exactly slowed down yet
and I've been in NYC for about 5 weeks now. Albiet, 2.5 of those weeks were attributed to some intense apartment hunting! It paid off though, I now have a room that's about the size of my entire bed. BUT! It's 4 blocks from IAB (International Affairs Building) where all my classes are, has tons of natural sunlight, a huge living room, and my apt-mate cooks a lot and is a black belt in martial arts in case someone breaks in!
Plus, a small room forces some creativity in decorating skillz, like an abusive use of safety pins.
New York, or SIPA to be exact, is really bad for my restless, anxious, impatient disposition. It exacerbates it ten-fold. I can't even sit still for 10 minutes without checking my email and finding out some new opportunity has come along. Want to write for the school paper? Meet at lunch! Job fair with a major banking firm? Tomorrow at 1pm! Panel on human rights in Latin America? I'll be there! Free screening of a documentary on Microfinancing? Writing a paper on it! Class on the Euro-crisis with the former Prime Minister of Hungary? Taking it! Dinner party with fellow foodies? You know it! Networking opportunity for women in the energy field? I'll probably be late... but I'm gonna show up! I can't let an opportunity slip by unexplored. And that's why I've gotten probably 10 hours of sleep in the last 3 days. And basically have been sleep deprived since I moved here.
Homework is kinda on the backburner, even though it should be a priority. I'm trying to figure out which opportunities I'm NOT interested in, and that's nearly impossible and extremely problematic. I tick off all the thinks I need to do the next day in my head before I sleep, and can't sleep anymore by the time I run through it all. I even wake up early just to organize my thoughts in my head even further.
And yet my brain is still a mess. I don't think there's a way to fix that.
I love it though, as crazy as it is. The mix and mishmash of people and ideas and possibilities... That's what I came here for! To be stressed and tested and pulled and stretched in every way. I'm still trying to figure out a chaotic schedule that works for me. it will happen! And it will be messy!
My posts will be more specific once life settles down a bit, and I can actually think and fathom and comprehend the fact that this is happening, this is real life that I'm living, and these are real events and not just a blur of moments and time.
For now, when it gets hectic and messy and frenzied, I temporarily escape to 2 weekends ago when I was in Delware/Pennsylvania visiting Mike's family, and it was literally one of the most nostalgic and beautiful places I've ever been to. I'll elaborate more later!
Heading to Connecticut this weekend, excited!! Maybe I'll actually see some leaves change colors!
Ah who am I kidding... I miss LA weather already!
