I spent the evening at Marina Library to pick up two DVD's: "Best of 'Friends'" and Constant Gardener as well as help out with the gingerbread house making event. There were sour gummybears, candy corn, vanilla and chocolate frosting, chocolate kisses, graham crackers, skittles, M&M's and mini candy canes.

We set up in the Homework Center and I made a very humble cube with frosting and candies to decorate. I mostly watched, joked, laughed, and talked with the others. Most of them are high school age. They're a lot of fun to converse with though. Some of the gals did an amazing, very pretty job so I caught some on camera.

I also had a ball insulting B, who took things pretty well considering that most of the other girls were also giving him a hard time. It was just too easy to make fun of him. Though, there was slight flirting going on between him and I. He actually seems to be a pretty okay guy. Also, he's not bad looking though I'm concerned about his age. Oh well, nothing can come of it as I will be leaving the state soon.

I can hardly believe it! I'll be in New York in the new year. New York... described in this way on "Dawson's Creek": A city like New York where everything's moving all the time at this constant driving pace, right? It's like a living organism breathing and changing, and over time your relationship to it becomes like this incredible romance, you know? At first, it's intoxicating, irresistible, and then slowly it becomes comfortable and safe. You have this cellular connection to it, as if you've known each other forever, like your oldest happiness, and sometimes you're on the outs, and sometimes you're making up, and every now and then you catch yourself in this transcendent moment where you think to yourself, 'oh, my god, I'm madly in love with you, and I always will be.' And I think that's when it surprises me. Beautifully written and I am positive it is everything it describes and more.

I'll be in NY a few weeks before school starts and it will be great to explore the city, meet up with friends in the area, travel to other places, maybe see my uncle, set up and organize my room, see the PR advisor whom I have spoken to on the phone with a number of times, purchase the expensive books I need, find more friends and go out more.

Good news is I found a place to live. I'll be with a friend of my mother's and they have a very inexpensive rent price for me and will be willing to share meals with me sometimes. The condo is in Flushing, Queens which will be about one hour on the subway but I'll probably be in the city during the day anyway for my internship.

I'm a bit scared of being in such a big city alone and across the United States, but at the same time so exhilirated and excited. It's going to be such an eye-opening experience and I really can't wait to meet some awesome people because I don't think I could ever have too many friends. Hopefully I can stay within budget for food and fun expenses throughout my living in NY and ideally, summers and after graduating I'll be earning lots of moolah to pay off the debts and so on.

About my career goal: I was talking with one of my mom's friends recently about my dream of becoming a publicist for celebrities and though I'm sure she didn't mean it to be so, I found her response to be a little rude. She mentioned that it'll be hard to get into that blah blah blah. I don't think that lady knows me very well. When I say I want to do something... I am determined; I am passionate; I am unrelenting. I will get there and you can take your unbelieving ass outta my sight.
