Big thoughts.

Life, or something like it, is kicking my a$$.

I got into the Ghana program.

But then found out that the scholarship deadlines have all passed and it will cost almost 10K more just to go.

I could potentially work my bum off the next year and get done early...

But the classes that I need may not be offered.

I didn't do my grad school app because I didn't think I'd finish early...

But NYU will make my (aka my parents) pay extra if I decide to stay the full 4 years!!!

Bah humbug. I hate this school.

I was also assigned a 16 page research paper, an 8 page research paper, a 5 page paper, and I have a Microeconomics midterm...all officially assigned last Thursday due THIS WEEK! Let's just say I didn't go out. At all. This weekend. Not that I do ever anyway but... :)

Bigsigh. My week of twentyonehood.

Sooooooo.

Monday: eg took me out to the LES.
Tuesday: work then school then met Aunty Katie, Uncle Ben, and Nora at a restaurant for lots of food and wine.
Wednesday: work then school then ran uptown to meet the fam then yoga then Peter Lugers (SO GOOD!) and a lunar eclipse!
Thursday: not feeling the greatest until about 5...class then work then class againnn! Then the Allison Krauss concert was a bust bc she was sick so we watched Lost. So. Good. Thai food not so much.
Friday: long day of roaming/sightseeing/etc. bought clothes and went to Ivo and Lulus (byob) for dinner with my amigos/familia....food was excellent. Then went to Room Service where DJAM was dj-ing. Um. It sucked, there were too many people, I had many drinks spilled on me, then my brand new iPhone was stolen.
Saturday: accepted the fact that my phone was stolen, attempted to call, RS is awful and I won't be going back. Went to dinner at this place on Houston--so good! Excellent wine also...good find. Emilio Ballato or SOMETHING. Delish. Then we went to the Cupping Room to watch some jazz and had espressotinis :) Awesome bartender. Then went to the Empire State building where there was NO LINE. Great :)
Sunday: up super early, they all left, lounged in the hotel, went to yoga :) then I headed home. Kaitlyn is vomiting everywhere bc she's super sick :/ Then I met my group for hw...wooot.

Now I am sitting in the library trying not to think about all the crap I have to accomplish.

Other than the iPhone incident (a $600 blunder) my birthday was fantastic.

I guess I just can't have my cake and eat it too.

But that's ok.
