Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today.

So I'm in the car on the way to the airport and my mom started singing her Colombian, broken-english version of Sinatra's New York, New York and its finally hit me. I'm moving.

I'm excited yet nervous. Happy yet sad. So many feelings and emotions bottled into one 24 year old girl, or shall I say woman? That sounds old. Maybe I am old? I don't know, I think maturity is a relative concept.

I have gallons of random things stuffed into my suitcases. As I was walking out my house and finding things I just kept stuffing them in. Even a random bobby pin. Who does that? Haha bobby pins, apparently I'm cheap and want to wittle down my expenses, I guess I should get used to it.

I went to the office today at 6am because I'm psychotic. I wanted to check my email for the last time and send out emails notifying people of my new email address. Mind you, they still don't know I'm leaving. This is when the concept of maturity is relative to me. I'm mature enough to move to a new city yet I'm immature when it comes to telling people I'm leaving. I think I put too much emphasis on myself and think they'll care more than they probably will. haha, I'm really cracking myself up today.

Lindsey keeps sending me random texts saying "yayyyyyyy". Others send me texts saying "your kidding me that you're really leaving." Nope, not kidding. Off I go. You can visit me though.

I spoke with someone at the American Cancer Society office in Manhattan. They have a position that lasts till November for their big Strides Against Breast Cancer event. Maybe Carmen was right that I am a "lifer" at ACS. We'll see. I figured I'd just hang out my first entire week and then go on the hustle starting next week. I have saved enough money to last me 2 months. Doesn't buy me too much time but I guess its enough. Ofcourse I always have the support of my parents but I'm 24 and I really don't want to have to count on them. I have too much pride, its my best and worst quality.

Since this post seems to be just random thoughts let me add another one. Maria looked at me this morning and said " you're going to new york wearing that? They're gonna ship you right back here!". Geez, rude. I'm not, nor have I ever, been a "trendy" girl. Occassionally ill like random trendy things but really, its too tiring for me. I like black and white and anything that macthes with that. Now I'm going to be surrounded by uber trendy people all over the place? To add, one of my roomates works at Scoop and the other at Intermix. I might just have to step it up a bit.

Okay, this is my last post as a Miamian. Its time to face the music and see just how much I'm charged for each of my suitcasea being over 186 pounds. Oops.

Well I guess I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when ill be back again.

Just kidding. Yes I do, I'll be back to visit in June.

Ps. I have no spell check on my phone and I can't spell and have bad grammar. I love semicolons. Bear with me.

You are an excellent writer, it may be your calling after all, use it wisely...Kick ass in the NYC and keep in touch... Love you buckets... Kathia...
