The BIG Apple

In less than two months, I will be traveling back to NYC to see my friend, Karli. This time I won't be going alone. Karli's mom, Linda, and her brother, Danny, will also be going. Oh yeah, and Karli's uncles Micky and Lavaughn will be headed there, too. Um ... two more are going, too. Natasha and Kristin will be headed to NY also. I can't even imagine how much fun we're going to have. we're all flying out on the same flight ... it leaves on a Thursday morning at 6:45 a.m. We're all trying to decide what kind of hats we'll be wearing on the plane.

Yeah ... hats. We are an entourage, so we must do something to let everyone know we're all together. Also, the motivation of seeing Karli's face when she meets us at JFK is pushing this idea. She'll be mortified ... we will have succeeded.

Karli is graduating from Marymount College in Manhattan. I believe her degree is international business ... I can't really remember. She's going to stay in Manhattan for a few years and work before she heads to graduate school. Scary thought --> she called me and asked for advice as to what to do after graduation. Yikes. The pressure. She works for some big law firm in Manhattan and they, of course, love her. She's doing everything a paralegal does, so she can either stay at the law firm where she is now, or go to another one who's offered her a job and become a certified paralegal. Either way, she'll make enough to live in the city and work for a year or two. She needs to have fun and sew some oats before she begins grad school. Life is over then (cough) ...

While in NYC we'll go and see "Wicked" on Broadway, and go to the Yankees/Mets game. Oh yeah, and I'll spend an entire day in Chinatown - CAN'T WAIT !!!

Four days of fun, fun, fun .... I'll need it after this semester. I've wanted to quit twice already ....

... sometimes I hate being an overachiever ... it can really suck.

NYC here I come ...
