I’ve been to the Eastside of the country, but I’ve never actually been there. I was two years old when my family moved to Maryland, before shortly returning to California.

I’ll be in New York for four days. Although, this clearly is not enough time to see everything the city has to offer, you better believe I’m going to try.

I haven’t been out of the country, out of the state for that matter, since I my month-long visit to the Philippines. 

Now, a family vacation is an agonizing two-hour trip to San Diego to visit my older sister at UCSD. Still, I look forward to it. Anything to get out of this town.

I’ll be in New York this Friday, March 8 to Tuesday, March 12. Unfortunately, I didn’t save money for this trip, but I did receive my tax refund about a week ago, which should be more than enough for the trip.

So thank you government. But fuck you at the same time. Ok, that’s another topic.

I’ll be attending the College Media Association Spring Convention at the Sheraton Times Square Hotel in NYC.

Never have I felt so in tune with my major. I recall feeling behind and incompetent as a journalist. The Daily Titan has definitely helped in that transition.

It’s suppose to snowing there. I did my last splurge at the mall on Saturday, so I should be set on cold-weather clothing. 

I wrote this blog piece with intentions of updating it during my stay in New York. And hopefully I’ll post more often thereafter. 

Until then, I will be catching up on school work. But what’s new.

It’s now 2:30 a.m. I have to wake up at 7 a.m. for my internship in Costa Mesa.

I should probably sleep now.
