| | So I'm back on the West Coast finally. New York and Boston were awesome. More on that at the end of post including the few pics I have. It was supposed to be a longer trip but I had to get back for a school thing yesterday. The rest of my friends stayed till today and I'm sure had tons of fun without me. That's what sucks the most, I think - not that I only spent like 24 hours in Boston but that I had to miss out spending some quality time with them. We've been pretty good friends since college and although I think we've kept in contact pretty well considering out busy schedules and long distances, it's definitely hard to get together on a regular basis. This was the first time in four years being all together again. It's hard but I like to think of it like the good things don't come along very often and they take work, right?
Speaking of work, I had my license test over a month ago and my time would free up without all that studying but it's still as hectic as ever. I had been out of town or occupied with something or another every weekend since then. Work sucks and is slow and I'm not enjoying what little I have to do very much right now. But that is where I spend the majority of my time when I'd rather be doing so much more. I also had to take a promotional exam a couple weeks ago even though the rumors are that my company is in a hiring/promotions freeze. So what was the point? I'm relieved that the TV season is basically over. I have to admit I'm way too addicted to the tube and literally feel tied to all the shows I watch like I'm personally vested in them. This school thing totally sucks. I don't know what exactly I was thinking when I decided to get my masters part time. I must have been on some crazy pills. But I stuck it out and it's my last quarter - hard as ever but still my last. Though I still have a couple projects and a final to get through. That school thing I had yesterday was the comprehensive exam and I'm pretty sure I failed it as I didn't have that much time to prepare for it and study. So that means I'll have to go back for another quarter. All these things feel like the never-ending story of my life. And that's why I was so excited about my mini-vacation - I desperately needed some time to get away. Some vacation it was though - missing a third of the planned trip and to top it all off, I had to finish a school project that was due during the trip. So I didn't even get to enjoy it to the fullest extent.
Ok so if you skipped ahead to this part, you can basically ignore the above venting. I wasn't my usual picture-whoring self because my friend had this super nice camera that we used the most. So I apologize for the lack of interesting pics. Hopefully I'll get those soon and have them up on Picassa. Highlights of my trip include: Watching the sunset from the top of Rockefeller Center, a 3 hour bike ride/tour of Central Park, the craziness of Times Square, a Broadway show with Lauren Graham (of Gilmore Girls fame), hitting up a hidden 'speakeasy' in the alleys of NYC, devoring cheap and tasty lobsters, reminiscing over drinks at a typical Boston sports bar, Fenway Park, blueberry beer...   (That's me and Abs at Fenway, btw) |
