Ramblings About Moving to Manhattan

Remember how I'm moving to New York City?

Let me take a moment to let that sink in again. YES!!

With the big move only 6 weeks away, there is a bit of anxiety in this body of mine.

Like a pinball, my thoughts lately have been bouncing between "Apartment...Need to buy a mattress....Do I want firm or plush?....Roommates....I'm going to have roommates again....School....I need to buy a MacBook Pro....New or old version?.....Oh my gosh I need to buy an iron....How did I not realize I need to buy an iron?....What other things do I need to buy?....Student Loans.....Ugh....Hm how do I want my apartment to look?....Need to go do my laundry....Shoot I'll need to buy a laundry basket when I get there....OH MY GOSH I'M MOVING TO NEW YORK CITY!"

That's just a little .3 second blip of what's happening in this brain. I have to say, however, that amidst the stress, I have been very blessed. I found the perfect apartment in the exact part of Manhattan I was hoping to be in at the right price point. Whew, what a relief! And I can't help but daydream about how I'm going to decorate that sucker.

I am looking forward to being on my own. And really, how much more "on your own" do you get other than New York? It's going to be an adventure! I hope you stick around :) .
