I am officially done with classes forEVER!!  Now all I have to do is my internship from Jan-May and then graduation May 6! Woohoo - I can't believe how time has flown though. This growing up stuff is a bit daunting.
Well I'm going to NYC next week to check out the interior design firm that offered me a job before I jump in and accept. And hopefully check out some potential places to live. So much to do! Just had to share my excitement though.
Well I hope everyone is doing well and not too cold if you're living anywhere other than here in Florida where it's like 75 today.

Congrats!
I'm emailing you my phone number. I'll be in NYC till probably the 19th, would love to grab dinner / show you around, etc (even though I know you've been here before). I have exams until Thurs the 15th so not much free time before then. What are your plans?

Ooh goodie I'd love to meet up! My two friends are coming along too and we're a fun bunch. I'm there the 15th through late afternoon on Saturday the 17th. We could definitely grab dinner or meet up for something else. Thursday afternoon I'm meeting the owner of that firm, and then that's pretty much it so far. The next few days I'm going to research so I have some living options to investigate when I'm there.
We're definitely stopping by the good old Rockefeller tree since I've never seen in. Somehow I just miss it. And maybe checking out the view from that new viewing area they opened on top of the Rockefeller building.
How's the weather been by the way??

That is awesome that you're done and even better that you're seriously considering NY. This is a great town as you well know. You cannot go wrong here! Good luck and have a fantastic time in the city! Too bad Tina is not here yet, then we could all meet up!

YAHOO! No more classes! I know you are excited about that. And your parents have to be excited about not making tuition payments anymore. (I can't wait for that!)
Good luck on your trip to New York. I hope you like the firm and if so, can find a suitable place to live.
Keep us updated! Can't wait to hear about the internship.

How exciting! I've been wanting to do the "view from the top of the rock" thing since it opened up too, it sounds like fun.
It's been F R E E Z I N G here. I'm not kidding, like 30ish every day and colder at night with the wind. Plan on dressing in layers, with gloves, a scarf, and a hat! Your best bet with layers is something synthetic on the bottom and then cotton / wool as you move to the outer layers. Especially if you are doing the tourist thing, you're going to be outside a lot! Also it's been pretty snowy/slushy here, so bring some shoes that you don't mind getting wet.
I drove by the tree the other night and it looks great. You're gonna have a great trip!

Yeah I am excited - though I'm seriously doubting my abilities to handle the winter season up there. But I'm all about new experiences.
That is too bad that Tina won't be there, but if everything goes to plan then there will be plenty of time for us all to meet up soon

It is very exciting. However the tuition payments haven't quite ended yet. For my 6-credit internship we still have to pay $6000. It's crazy that they make you pay to work. And then of course my parents have 8 more years of college tuitions after me for my 2 younger brothers.
Being a parent is expensive, huh?
And I'll definitely keep y'all posted on my decisions.

Thanks Terri!
And the purse thing is a bit on hold for now. I have had absolutely no free time to make any of that work lately. I will definitely get that booming one day soon though. Thanks for asking!

I bet! I remember when that day seemed so far away - and now I can't help but think it came just a little too soon. Enjoy being a student when things are easier even if you might not think so all the time.

Isn't it such a wonderful feeling to know you don't have to go back unless you want to???
I am still incredulous that someone as talented as you are isn't getting paid for an internship. Unbelievable! Oh, well, I guess you will be rich and famous soon enough, right?

It really is a wonderful feeling. And while I say I'm done, I don't think I can say I'll never go back because it's just in my nature to like to learn things for fun (like taking French lessons this semester while working 2 jobs and going to school full time) I'm an overachiever I guess. But at least for the here and now I'm done with school
And yeah the not getting paid thing kinda bites, but I have been offered a few where I would get paid, but none of those seems as right for me and would give me the best experience as this one job does. So I guess I can put up with it if it will mean bigger and better opportunities for the future, right?
Hope you're feeling better by the way!
