Who would have thought finding a nice, cheap hostel with no frills could be so difficult? Tom was trying to book a hostel in Harlem, but even that was filled up. All I wanted was a nice, quiet place to sleep with a roof over my head so I can get to my interview the next morning. I mean, if you're planning to have a blast and enjoy NYC to the fullest, who needs a TV in their room?
So Summer has finally come back, after it left for a good 2 weeks or so. [Sigh] Syracuse, the city of retarded weather. It's almost June, it should decide to be WARM by now, or at least stay that way. With the change of weather, and my moving to a new apartment just for a month to finish up my master's capstone, I have the urge to just peel away all this stuffy dullness that enveloped me all winter long and still clings despite Spring. I want a new hair style, new clothes, new expensive shoes, a new change of furniture and decorations and scenery... I want the person inside who's dying to get out to come out. A shiny, beaming, excited Me. Still buried under months of cloudy skies I've managed to internalize. Booo. This is what I get for being so easily affected by weather.
I'm also trying to learn how to style hair correctly. Some how, no matter how much time I spend primping and smoothing and ironing, my hair just doesn't look like what it's supposed to look like. I would label it a lost cause, but I figured if other people can do it, I can do it. And YouTube has all these fantastic tutorials from hairstyling to how to apply make up. The only problem with the makeup tutorials is that everyone's eyes are different, so what one girl does doesn't necessarily mean it will look good on someone else.

I've got two interviews coming up in June, both which are really exciting and fantastic opportunities. I made it to the final round for the T3 program with Cartoon Network for Marketing and Programming [still in shock and very giddy] and I have a group interview for the NBC page program. I'm being flown into Georgia for the interview at CN HQ [squeeeeeeee!!!] and I have to get to NYC for the NBC interview like 3 days later. The excitement is dizzying...
Today I celebrate with sushi. Spicy tuna, avocado eel, and white salmon crunch, dipped in a delicate blend of poignant wasabi and savory soy sauce. I celebrate the things of the past, the things to come, and above all, I celebrate right now. Resting on the eve of a storm of not knowing what is going to happen next, where I am ending up, and what I'm going to do. I celebrate because every day should be a new day, a new beginning, a new gasp of fresh air.
Today I'm seeking felicity. What are you seeking?
