401 que pasa

haha, I hope you understood that VERY CORNY joke in the title

That is just a middle finger to being an adult. Being in the real world doesn't mean I can't be corny. 

So, training is over. And my first REAL JOB work week is dawning. HOLY MOLY. I'm a little nervous--but my manager is out of office until Thursday so I'll be shadowing the others in the group so I'm pretty sure it won't be so bad...and I'll get out by 5 nearly every day. Happy Hour anybody?

That's what the old June would say. 

The new June, on the other hand....says...I'm starting to study for the GMATs tomorrow so I'll be only going out on weekends. 

Really. 

The new June also realizes that she has to get her 401k, Roth IRA, etc shit in order and promises to that as well.

Oh, wish this new June good luck on these responsibilities. and being an adult...in this REAL WORLD. yikes. 

Can't I just be a Toys-r-us kid...that eats Trix....

NYC, i love you so.

In London, I realized my love for NYC...actually...my UNHEALTHY love for NYC. 

Most of you know, I love London. I love the vibe--the more care-free, yet sophisticated aura. I love the fashion sense: never in NYC have I met a man dressed to the nines, in an ivory suit, pink dress shirt and ivory hat. very British. (he was obviously drinking Pimm's!) I adore being able to drink in PARKS! and the list goes on...

But, during my 10 days in my beloved London, I missed my home sweet home. There are things that I just take for granted--24 hour public transportation, yellow cabs, and stores staying open late, especially during the summer. So when I had to wait for the nightbus, because the tube stops working at midnight, I wished I were in NYC, hailing a yellow cab. 

So, today, I spent my day in the city--what is more New York than a Spa day followed by some shopping on 5th ave? And as I walked along 5th ave, dropping by Bendels (missing the Carebear SOOOO MUCH!), I felt justified in my love for New York. 

This is my home. And I can love it as much as I want to. 

LOVE AFFAIR WITH NYC, please do not disturb. 

(seriously, I don't want to seem too dramatic about not being able to live anywhere but NYC, but it's really true. BUT....i do love london ...to visit.)
