I have been so busy lately, that it has been two weeks since my last post. School work is increasing and it's that time where I'm right in the middle of the semester where the end is in sight. My first New York Halloween was fun, but unfortunately not extremely memorable. I missed the parade which I was looking forward to, due to rain and an untimely nap. Thanksgiving is drawing near and it will be nice to see old friends and family but I dread leaving this city. In the nearly four months I've lived here, I've left the island of Manhattan twice, the New York Metropolitan area once. I guess it must happen every once in a while to remind myself that there is a world outside of this tiny island.
