End of Summer 2010

Wow, I can’t believe it’ll be September in a week. I didn’t take vacation this summer, yet it flew by. I’ve been a bit busy with trying to figure out what I’m doing with my life. It seems that the majority of my close college friends have left NYC and I feel like I’m the only one left. I do still have some friends that I made while living in NYC, but it’s not the same. I have known my college friends for ten years and we shared so many good memories together. It’s so weird to think about our experiences together and realize that they happened almost ten years ago. I enjoyed my college experience at Carnegie Mellon; I have no regrets. I just wish I had used my time more wisely. I can’t believe that I’ve been in the real world for almost six years. Life feels like a blur after looking back at what I have accomplished. I feel that my career has been stagnant. It seems that everyone’s life/career is moving forward except for me. I hope that in the next year, things will be different for me. I’m going to work hard in changing my life the way I want it to be. I don’t want to sound “emo”, but this totally reminds me of Keane’s song, “Everybody’s Changing“.

You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don’t see how you can
You’re aching, you’re breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody’s changing
And I don’t know why

So little time
Try to understand that I’m
Trying to make a move to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody’s changing
And I don’t feel the same

You’re gone from here
And soon you will disappear
Cause everybody’s changing
And I don’t feel right

So little time
Try to understand that I’m
Trying to make a move to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody’s changing
And I don’t feel the same

So little time
Try to understand that I’m
Trying to make a move to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody’s changing
And I don’t feel the same

November already?

I’ve been a bit MIA on my blog. It’s probably because of Twitter or even Facebook. I keep updating my statuses there that I forget to even update my own website that I’m paying to keep online! So as you can tell from the title of the entry, John Mayer’s new album Battle Studies officially came out on Tuesday. I was lucky to score a ticket (friend helped me get it during the pre-sale) for John Mayer’s album release concert. I was sitting in 8th row meanwhile Kris Allen and Steve Tyler were sitting BEHIND me. Amazing right? It was a really great experience Also, they aired the show live on Fuse TV.

I entered a Twitter contest to see JM in a private show at the Ed Sullivan Theatre. I did not expect myself to be selected, but the management company sent me a direct message on Twitter letting me know I won. Woohoo. I’m actually going to be heading there in an hour or so. So excited! I have been listening to the album non-stop and it’s taken some time for me to really enjoy it. I think my favorite songs off the album are:

Perfectly Lonely
Assassin
Heartbreak Warfare

The songs are pretty sad, I guess he’s writing about his heartbreak with all his girlfriends. If he plays “Not Myself” or even “Stop This Train” at tonight’s concert, I will be so happy.

To top off this amazing day, my wonderful boyfriend will be coming in from Florida tonight! We plan on having all his favorite foods in NYC during his weekend here. I plan on seeing “Precious” and crying my eyes out. I’m so excited for the weekend. Oh yes, he will be installing my NEW printer since I had two falling outs with both Staples and Kinkos/Fedex just last weekend. I won’t go into too much detail, but I recommend just going into Staples or Kinkos to do your own copying. Both times I did the print online option and when I arrived, neither vendor knew about my “order”. They actually did it while I was there. Originally in my order for Kinko’s I requested it to be stapled, but of course it wasn’t. I asked for a stapler and did it myself. To top it off, the employee asked me for my credit card. I told her I already paid online, but she said it didn’t go through. I reluctantly gave her my credit card and watched her charge me. After this debacle, I went to work and checked my bank account (Chase) and I saw two charges from Fedex. I called their customer service and totally yelled at an innocent guy. At least he credited me for the $7.90. Right? So this is why I’m getting my own printer thanks to my baby!! <3

Then next week I’m off to London for the first time in my life. YAY!

I’m loving it

I pre-ordered John Mayer’s “Where Is the Light” DVD and CD last week. It doesn’t come out until July 1st. However, I was delighted to have a package at work today. Yup, it was the CD and DVD!

I actually just realized that the DVD went from $14.99 to $9.99 in less than a week! I just had Amazon call me (this is the best thing ever) and they have refunded me $5.00. I love them!

I can’t wait to watch the DVD with my boyfriend!
