it's up to you, new york


in t-minus one week, i am moving to new york city for ten weeks. the big apple. to take a bite out of a lifestyle so completely different from any i have experienced so far, i have no idea how to prepare. i'm a little bit preparation OBSESSED, so needless to say the comfort zone is already out the window. but i am so excited...

to combat my feelings of preparation helplessness, i have begun a new york list. just a few things i will challenge myself to do while i'm there. maybe i'll update this as i check, check, check mark things off that list :-)

this summer is a "big moves" one for lots of people around me. some will be changing lives through educational programs like teach for america, while others are business-card-collecting their way up the corporate ladder at major banking firms. exciting! but big moves are nothing compared to the big picture, so i hope i can keep both in mind.

nyc, unnnhhhhh yeah :-)
