New Job

Hey everyone!

I start my new job tomorrow! I am super excited, and now hopefully I will have the proper balance of things to do, and spare time :) I feel like before now, so much of my time was spent either job-searching or stressing out about something, that now I will be able to focus my time on one thing, and be able to better manage my free time.

I also moved to Brooklyn while I was away— a good enough excuse for why I haven't updated in so long! I'm not planning on being here for as long as I was at my other place, it was just a temporary fix for my roommate situation at my last place. I'm hoping to get a studio or one bedroom somewhere after this, I have just decided that I don't live well with other people...

I also started eating healthier! I'm eating mainly vegetarian now, just because it makes me feel better about myself. I am still eating some meat, but it definitely doesn't consume a mass part of my diet. I have made the switch to tofu and am officially LOVING it! I eat only organic fruits and veggies, and my body and mood have started to show signs of improvement because of it :)

Hopefully the next time I check in with you all, I'll have news just as good. I hope all of you are doing wonderful, leave comments and let me know what's been up in your life!

Peace =]

Tres exciting...

Hey all!

Sooooo... nothing really exciting has happened in the past couple of days. I ended up not going on that train ride upstate yesterday. Instead I went to see my friends' new apartment in Brooklyn. It's really nice, it was just built and all of their neighbors were moving in too. Although I wouldn't ever live there, it's too far of a walk from the subway. It's in Bushwick, so the neighborhood is ALL Puerto Rican. I think it's fun. Puerto Ricans are a riot!

Work is plentiful, which is good! I'm no longer poor! Hahah...

The party that happened at work today was absolutely fabulous! My mom told me today that she might come visit me sometime before the summer ends. YOU SHOULD ALL TELL HER THAT SHE NEEDS TO DO IT!!

My mom is fabulous, and I can't wait until I have enough  money to make her move to New York and be a fabulous rich superstar/wonderwoman. 

Downtown & the Statue of Liberty

Today I decided to go see the Statue of Liberty- even though I feel like it's the most over-rated tourist attraction in New York. It's seriously not that big. I remember the first time that Kristen and I went to see it, we couldn't find it for a couple of minutes because we were expecting it to be some towering monument.

Anyway, I stopped for a quick second at the World Trade Center Site... they've put barricades all up over the sides of the streets and have employed traffic cops to stand at every 5 feet along the fence and have given them the overbearing power of having whistles. You think that when the government executes the largest planned demolition/murder in history, they would at least let us see where it happened. Why can't we see in there? I smell foul play...

I walked around downtown for a little bit before I hopped on the water taxi to IKEA Brooklyn! I absolutely love riding this thing! The store hasn't been opened for a month yet, and I bet I have been on this thing at least 10 times! It's the best free ride EVER! 

After IKEA, I had a few friends over to celebrate the fact that we didn't have enough money to go anywhere else! Haha. We learned to never walk barefoot on the roof again, I have no clue what rooftops are made of, BUT IT IS VERY DIRTY!!

Me and my friend Emma, isn't she gorgeous?!
