It's quite early. I've been awake wince 3:30AM. Well, 1:30AM but have been laying in bed, thinking. I think more than I actually do work. If my paper consisted of a thinking portion, I'd beast it. So, it's 5:30AM. I've played brickbreaker and pulled out my Stats homework. Unfortunately, nothing's come of that yet. Just thought I'd write a quick post of the rest of my weekend and what's to come.
On Saturday, my friend planned this reunion so I attended. Unwillingly at first, but I figured why not. Learned a few thing I didn't want to know, things I didn't want to hear, but in the end I didn't have to put on a face. The people I didn't want to interact with, I didn't have to and the people who talked to me held great conversation. I didn't realize how reflective and curious some people were. In high school, everything's about who your friends are, not how they are. I had, well still have some pretty smart friends. I've gotten more into my paper and wanted to tell everyone about it since it hits close to home. I got some interest in it and one thing led to another and it was a full fledged discussion on women. I can't post about it, it'd be too damn long. Needless to say, it was a good time.
The following day, I guess Sunday, yesterday, I headed back to New York. My father told me more about his hardships throughout his life and I always think if I left my family, I could probably work as hard as my father and survive. Sometimes I think it's worth it. That's what I thought about this morning..night. Who knows.
This week ends my internship. Finally! I need to concentrate on school. My paper is due in two weeks and my research isn't even half done. My friends want a reunion and I have so much homework to do/videos to make/internships to apply to/jobs to apply to/finals to study for. I'm sure everyone is the same. However, my attitude may be much worse in the next weeks to come, so heed this warning. Also, I apologize now for any unnecessary anger in the next few weeks, but I'm sure there will be times of necessary venting and frustration.
On another note, I dreamed of Paris again. It was an amazing dream, but I can barely remember it now. Only that it was glorious. It's sad how quickly dreams fade.

Is it really necessary?
So, Thanksgiving weekend! Things to be thankful for, aka everything I have. Things not to be thankful for... ha, easy.
I like how my weekend of almost relaxation turned into this war. She's resorted to name calling. I still think she's immature. I can't even look at her without gagging anymore, she looks ridiculous. My mother's so proud of her. Wow. Go them! You've almost reached your goal. Just find a rich man and have him pay for all of your expenses. Better yet, find an old rich man, you'll feel better after he dies and you have all the money.
God. But I did have a good thanksgiving talking to Austin. I ignored said problem. His parents are in China so I invited him over. I had so much turkey. It was slathered in gravy and it was amazing. Had some roasted potatoes and mashed potatoes and the asian version of Paella amongst many many many other dishes. Needless to say, I was full to the point of explosion. It was glorious. I played Star Wars but didn't get too far, motion sickness. We decided to go Black Friday shopping. Oh yay. It's all a scam but whatever I didn't want to stay at home with those two. So, we went to Austin's in Edison, first played Modern Warfare which I am OBSESSING over. I never found such a fun game. Then we didn't know what to do so we watched Glee. Bon. We headed to pick up a few friends and then off to Target. We got there at 2:30AM it opened at 4AM. Austin got his TV! It's HUGE. I bought a coffee maker. For 3 dollars. Hell yeah! I needed one. Anyway we didn't sleep at all that night. We went to Best Buy and the mall after. I didn't buy anything. Ran into an old friend from high school who moved to Hong Kong and now goes to UVA but is here this weekend for his friend's wedding. Quite an ordeal. People are marrying already?! Shit. I would never. But, I wish them all the happiness in the world.
Got home around 10AM. Didn't sleep for a long time already. Passed out. Woke up at 3 or 4 and now it's 1AM and I can't sleep. I was looking over my materials for my paper. No success. I don't think I can put everything I want into it. Oh well.

Looking to the Future.
So, lately I've been moping. Only because I know that I want to be in Paris working a full-time job , living in my Parisian apartment and chillin with Parisian buddies. Yes, Paris is always on my mind. It's gotten to a point where I am going on fusac (us/french classifieds kind of thing), nyhabitat, and parisattitude almost daily when I'm not researching or studying. It's Friday night and I did absolutely nothing. NCIS and Glee and 30 Rock. That was my night. I needed a night off. Okay. Digression. So, I've found multiple apartments but no job. I went to the Career Fair at Wasserman Center. I found a company who will sponsor my Visa for up to 18 months when I work there. Hopefully, after I get there, I can get a residency card and a permanent working Visa. =) After I get a job. They only sponsor my Visa. First step accomplished.
You know the feeling of wanting something really bad? Like winning the Mega Millions lotto? Yes. I dream about it. But, I've never bought a lottery ticket. Sad. I will when I turn 21. Maybe It'll be my lucky day. Anyway, Paris is something I want. I know my parents don't want me to ever leave the tri-state area as do many parents and their offspring. But I want to bust out and leave and live in Europe. Preferably for the rest of my life. I don't know, New York. You're slacking. I want a different city now. I've only begun my job search and it's already stressing me out. I need to do a hell of a lot of stuff before NYU's career center will even help me find a job. That's a month. Bye internship.
I don't know why I began this post. Probably to reminisce about Paris and how my life will be there. It's a dream right now. But I'm going to get it. I know I will. I'm working my ass off. Hopefully it pays off for something in the future. But as of right now, I have exactly...well give or take a few days 5 months left of my college career (not including winter break). Crazy right? Who would've thought? It's not like college was that enriching or anything. I think Study Abroad at AUP made me a more grounded person. Yea, not you, NYU.
Lots of work to do this weekend. It's my good friend Olivia's birthday this weekend. I don't believe I'll be able to see her because of this crap. It makes me sad. Oh well. It's not like I've missed out on fun before. You have to prioritize right? Merde. That sucks.
