After the city
July 6, 2006
The city was absolutely incredible. The people I went with were amazing.
We didn’t actually pull up until about 10:00 at night. While we had originally planned to stay in a very cheap motel outside of the city, one of the boys I’d gone with, who works at a Marriott in England, got an unfathomable discount at the Marriott Marquis in the middle of Times Square. Everything that followed was completely spontaneous. Twelve hours was not enough.
It’s necessary that I go back there. I’m going to spend a few more days in the city with the same group of people during the time between the last day of my job and the first day of school.
These public computers are killing me. I feel like I’m not doing this post justice without pictures. And I still have to go into much, much further detail. Actually, feel free to completely disregard the above update. Thanks.
It seems like every one of my international coworkers has taken at least a year off of school between high school and college (”university”) to travel the world before completing their education. It was the same thing with the international people that I met in the city. When and why did America fall out of this movement? Why is it that everyone in this country is in a complete and total rush to finish school and get a job? Is finishing everything a year earlier really that much more beneficial?
I really need to travel more. Working with all of these kids my age who have already been to Europe and Asia and Australia and everywhere makes me feel terribly sheltered. I might have to go to England when I get out for Christmas break. It’s becoming more of a plan, rather than an idea, every day that I’m here.

Traveling is vital for growth. You get to experience other people, cultures, and ideas. It’s refreshing, and plus, it makes for great stories and amazing pictures =) Well, I’m glad to hear you enjoyed NY. Hopefully, your trip to England will really pull through =)

I need, WANT to travel more too. The last time that I actually took a plane out of the country was when I was 13, exactly 6 years ago. How pathetic. I’m glad that you’re enjoying yourself and I really want to see any pictures that you have taken.
