I took a beginner’s continuing education Russian language course at Rice University. I didn’t take another semester because I decided to take an art class. I think I need to be more determined.

So, I applied to a 2-year Master’s program at NYU for this fall. I got accepted, but NYU is horribly expensive and they didn’t offer any money in grants or scholarships. Tuition is $42,000/year. Although it’s a very unique program, I do not feel that I accept their offer. If I had to pay for both years in loans, I would be over $100K in debt. I am forced to believe that NYU is simply not the school for me. :(

This book is called The Angel of Grozny, by Asne Seierstad. It’s about the children of the war(s) in Chechnya. I don’t know much about the conflicts in Eastern Europe, but I’m hoping this book with help.

I seem to get taken advantage of more often than I’d like. So, I need to work on not thinking that other people are behaving properly and have my good interests in mind.

I was in Amsterdam on vacation. Saw and did it all. The cake made me really sick, though.

Decided to take the plung. Went to NYC to find a job and an apartment. Got an apartment, no job – yet! I’ll even be able to take on the furniture of the previous tenant who’s moving to another state.

It’s finally happening!

I’m so unsure lately.

I’ve always wanted to live in New York – and now I may have a great opportunity. But, why am I so anxious?!

Partially, I think it has to do with the fact that if I move there, I may not have a job lined up beforehand. Practically speaking, that’s stupid since I have a very nice salary now with a lot of job security. But, I’m not going to have the opportunities I’m looking for.

I could stay in town and find a job that will find me the right opportunities, but I won’t be fulfilling this dream.

I feel like I’m pitting reality against a dream – how horribly unfair! I feel like I don’t know what to do!

Time to get serious. I’m gonna have a hard time parting with all my stuff, again, but I need to remember that it’s just stuff and to simply find comfort in myself.

Get out. Hang out. Enjoy people
