Ahhh! I want to go SO bad!

You have no idea how badly I want to go to New York again! It's slowly driving me insane. The last time I went I was in the 8th grade! It has been five LONG years since I have been to this wonderful city! I could totally see myself living here for a couple of years, having a job and taking the subway. I sometimes consider myself a New Yorker at heart because I still haven't learned how to drive yet. I will though, because I need to. Anyways, this city is amazing. It's so full of life. I feel like in this city you will always learn something new. There's always something to discover. New art, new music, new places to shop, new places to eat, new everything. I guess it was properly named. It is literally a city that never sleeps and I think that's why I love it so much. The last time I went to this wonderful place was when I was in 8th grade because my friend Emily and I were OBSESSED with the musical Wicked. We even got to go backstage and see everything. Which was awesome. I got the bug of loving this city. Thankfully, I got to back a couple of months later for my school's East Coast trip. Now, it's been a while, and Manhattan, I miss you.

Ask me what I want for Christmas... go on, ask. Do you think it has something with New York? Well, I'll tell you. I want to go there for New Year's! I remember as a kid watching the ball drop and seeing crowds of people. In fact, if this happens I intend on following these rules. I want to be one of those crowd members. I want to just spend days with my best friend, Colleen and see museums, art galleries, read books, take the subway, see a Broadway musical (preferably, Bye Bye Birdie, but because I love that show), do some ridiculous tourist-y things, and just take up everything that this wonderful city has to offer. That's all I want for Christmas. Is to spend time with my best friend who has been there for me, who I never see because she's in a cow state in college.

Not much is going on here at home. The Santa Ana Winds have kicked up. Which, most people hate, but I personally love because it truly feels like winter. Right now, I am supposed to be cleaning and finding my cinema book, so I can read, but I personally like blogging, especially about two of my favorite cities! School is boring to be quite honest, I should probably start working on my research paper for my cinema class. I'm excited to research this topic because it's basically about Old Hollywood, which I am fascinated with. Can you tell I want to work in the Entertainment Industry? I am really content at college. I mean, I want to get out of there as soon as possible, but, at the same time, everything seems to be going well. Not to mention that Christmas is coming, which I get so excited about. This weekend is packed with things! On Friday, my friend Jeff is coming into town and I have to see a show for my Astronomy class, which I am excited about. Saturday will be filled with Synod Council and possibly a movie, but most likely research for my paper. Sunday will be church and the Messiah Sing A Long that I am in. Rehearsals have been intimating, thankfully, there are over 50 people, so I won't stick out! Now, to figure out where I can video chat with my best friend, Colleen and homework! Whoever said college was easy, was lying. It's hard maintaining school and a social life!
