Hi. I used to write big, involved entries about moving to New York, but it just dissovled in front of me. But I still am longing to go, and now…this girl/friend/frenemy I went to high school with is moving there to study theatre. I am happy for her her, truly. But I am also very jealous she is living the life I wanted for myself. Emphasis on the word wanted. I don’t want to be that starving artist type, trying to get my name in lights. That is not on my priority list anymore. But I do want to move, of course. I guess I am most jealous of the fact that she, a girl very much like myself, is following through with a huge goal, and I have never followed through with any of my dreams. That makes me sad.

I turned down the promotion at work. It really got me thinking about my priorities and true life goals. Sadly, I have somewhat decided that moving to New York right now could really jeopordize other goals in my life, which are honestly, more important. Finishing my degree being the top one.
Now I plan to finish my degree and maybe, hopefully, someday, I can call myself a New Yorker.
It’s strange how just 30 days ago moving to New York felt as close as possible, and now I have, yet again, given up. I have to admit though, that I really feel like I am making the right decision. Perhaps getting my degree first will put me in a better position to move in the future.
Good luck to all in completing all of your goals!!!
does anyone know anything about rosetta stone? i have been seeing it on tv, and now they carry it at branes and noble. i’m thinking about investing in it, if it works. buena suerte!
