.well i'm ready.

so here i am, back in athens.

and it feels a lot better here now. especially after living out of a suitcase for the past month.

although it was worth it. great class. great internship (who want me back, even though i don't want to go. and they paid me!). amazing times at home. new year's eve in new york city with my cloops. there were some bumps and it wasn't perfect, but overall, not much could've made it better.

highlights from the city: our luck in finding a parking spot. and $40 on the ground. coffee with famous people at the news bar. coffee at aroma. shopping in soho. buddhas in chinatown. fozen hot chocolate aka nirvana in a glass at serendipity. da nico's. yaffa, tiramisu and adrienne. lunch with david and internship opps. more shopping on st. mark's. trash and jimmy. and tons more that i'll think about in approximately five minutes.

now after a long day of driving and a long night of unpacking it's back to the usual grind - classes, speakeasy and work. and it feels good after a month of constant moving. there's definitely something to be said for stability and consistency.

today was long after being exhausted and not getting much sleep. class 9-1030, errands and a yummy lunch at bagel street, then class again from 1-2 and 2-4. then laundry. ugh.

classes should be good though. this quarter i have an online journalism seminar, history of the middle east, myth & symbolism and graphics. i've had all but graphics, and so far there's a lot of reading. at least it's going to be interesting reading. i hope.

gosh, there are so many things running through my head. maybe it's not the best time to be writing a blog. i'm having trouble organizing my thoughts. i think i'm going to just get back to watching "six feet under," which has become my new obsession.

i hope everyone has a happy and beautiful new year.
