Less than a week until NYC.

I can’t believe I’m going to New York City.  I’ve recently found myself singing New York, New York and when watching a movie, I point at the screen and exlaim too loudly that “I’m going to school there!”

But wouldn’t you be a bit excited? Thrilled? Nervous?

It’s one of the largest cities in the world. The streets are overloaded with ambitious individuals swarming white crosswalks, yellow cabs, electric billboards and dirty vinyl subway seats. Millions of people telling themselves that today will be the day that they will find success.  Millions of people completely oriented on meeting their own goals and completing their to do list.  I’ve heard that the people there are just as cold as the winters in which they bear. I don’t want to be young and naive, but I can’t help but think that not everyone is bitter and frosty.  I don’t know.

If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere, right?
