I've been down on New York.
I don't know; it may just be the weather, or just the loneliness, or just the college withdrawals, or just the cost of living, or just the distance from EVERYone. But I have a good feeling that it's a nasty mixture of all of the above, and some. There just doesn't seem to be much that makes all the downsides worth it these days. I initially came here to have all the most amazing advertising agencies at my fingertips, and I am at Ogilvy, but working on pharmaceuticals is getting less and less "fine for now" by the day. And the 45-minute subway/freezing rain-trudge commute to get to this not-so-fine-for-now job isn't improving the matter one bit.
SO. I treated myself to a little jaunt over to the upside of living in New York. Here's what I did to remind myself of why I am paying a crucial organ to be living here:
1. Saw "In the Heights" on Broadway with Kaite Ray (weird to say RAY!).
2. Saw Colbie Caillat, Howie Day, and Trevor Hall in concert.
3.Went to Shake Shack 3 times, AND gave the famous Burger Joint a try.

As you can see, I did a pretty good job of comforting myself this past week and a half. But before you get all jealous of my fun city life and whatnot, let me just add that although there are not pictures of this part of my life, I worked till 2am on Monday night, until 8 or 9 almost every other night, and then had to work all day Saturday until the play at 8pm. So its not all fun and games. But yeah, life can pretty fun here... all I needed was a little Guh-linda and Elfaba to cheer me up!

If you ever want to chat about post college withdrawals and grown-up life adjustment just give me a call! I'm havin' em too! Also, I like that you're friends with Erin. I love her. That's all, and I love you! And Thanksgiving couldn't come sooner!
CCCAAAARRRRLYYYYYYYY......you realy know how to break a mommas heart.
Hang in there-you CAN do it! or...just come home :). XoOOOOO
I've definitely had a love/hate relationship with the weather lately. One day I love it, the next I'm like, "I HATE New York!" Not to mention the fact that Klane just had a similar work week to yours. Bummer. I think it ridiculous that your hours are always that long though. It should be the exception, and not the rule.
But your week looked so fun! Ohhh Shake Shack. And two plays?! So jealous you got to meet castmembers of Wicked. That is amazing. I'm curious what you thought of In The Heights, was it good? I think nothing will ever be as good as Wicked, but I've heard a lot of people liked In The Heights. We weren't sure if it would have questionable material in it for my fourteen year old brother to see, or else we would've gone while my parents were here.
carleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeighhhhhhhh

CARLICARD! so yeah, if you get down on nyc again, just take a jaunt across the pond to the city of lights! but do it soon. and then when i get down on paris, i'll come to the big apple, eh? sounds great.
I totally understand that ups and downs of NYC. Pat would kill you if he knew you werent enjoying advertising life in NYC because he wants to be back there so bad! I always says we should have stayed...and seeing you have all that fun makes me think we should have as well.
come downstairs and i will make you forget everything but how awesome NYC is.
"No... the blues are because you're getting fat or because it's been raining too long. You're just sad, that's all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. "When I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump into a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away."
Next on our list... a trip to Tiffany's and a large helping of New Moon!
ps email our wicked pics :)
