On the eve of my 24th birthday, I have decided to set some new goals for myself. There were a lot of things I was hoping to have accomplished for myself by now, but I've gotten a little off track. All for the best, but I still have a few things I would like to see happen by the time I'm.... let's give myself 3 years from today. At the age of 27, I would like to have done the following:
1. Finish school.
2. Find a real job.
2b. Get out of debt, excluding students loans, which I will not be able to pay off until I'm 50.
3. Maintain a healthy relationship.
3b. Be able to say the word relationship without cringing.
4. Have my own apartment.
5. Find a place to call home.
I just had my first official New York visitor last weekend. Seriously, I'll have more visitors in one semester here than I had the entire 5 years I was in San Diego. As an early birthday present, Jill braved the cold and packed her rain boots... and everything else in her closet. Lucky for us, Friday was the warmest day it has been in months. The weekend consisted of a lot of sushi eating, a failed attempt to go to Connecticut, Sex and the City sites, Bedford Ave., West Village, Marc Jacobs, Washington Square, the bathroom at the Westin, Times Square, an off-Broadway murder mystery, Hair the musical, and devouring apple cobbler at the Hard Rock.
