i’ve been away from tumblr for a few months, and it’s been sad. work, grad school, internship, and college ultimate responsibilities filled my plate for the first half of 2011.

now that grad school is done (hooray!) and my internship is at its end (happy and sad), it’s time to dive back into tumblr. my friend and colleague, alicia, suggested that i start a blog to document my upcoming adventure. since i already use tumblr, it seems like the best fit. so, alicia, stay tuned for the updates!

in short - i am moving to the big apple (long island city to be exact) next month. i will be helping two friends open a bar/restaurant, and will manage the back-of-house stuff. i’m pumped: the space is awesome, the view of the city is breathtaking, and there’s so much to do! our goal is to open sometime this summer, and i plan to use this space to document the new adventure.

before i get to new york, there’s lots to do: secure an apartment in nyc, close up shop in boston, sift through and pack up 10 years of stuff, and bid adieu to friends and colleagues. it’s going to be a crazy summer! : )

haha. i just realized that i’m on tumblr and today is my birthday. yay me. : )

another year, and this time, i’m determined to truly take control of my life. it’s my resolution.

i’m in charge of my own happiness. i am responsible for my well-being. i choose to let life happen to me, and i choose to create opportunities to embrace it. it is, finally, all about me and what i need to be happy. and i’m okay with that.

this year brings many great things. here they are in no particular order:
- playing in the world ultimate club championships in prague!
- friends i introduced are getting married!
- sister graduates from college
- brother graduates from grad school
- i finish grad school
- i will be in boston for a third of my life
- i celebrate five years since graduating from college (and tearing my acl)

it’s really nice to reflect on the time passed and the things i’ve done with it. i spoke with one of my best friends tonight and we marveled at the fact that we’re nearly 10 years out of high school and we don’t really have anything to show for it. i told her that we’re allowing ourselves to enjoy life - to be selfish - and as long as we’re happy doing this, that’s all that matters.

i am thankful and fortunate to have had such a plethora of experiences in the last 27 years. i look forward to tomorrow, and to creating and enjoying the experiences to come.

excited for a great day! happy birthday to me. : )

FACT: 1 out of 255 women and 1 out of 12 men have some form of color vision deficiency. How well do you see color?

I scored an 8. Zero is a perfect score.

I got a 4.

I got a 64. That’s quite terrible. Then again, I’m borderline blind.

haha.

WTTF.

apparently i’m still playing catch-up with social media. blogging is out and microblogging is in? is this the easiest and most efficient way to keep up with a flat, 24/7 world?

i’m sure many have already addressed this question, and i, too, have adapted to 140-character consumption, and status updates. i also access the various links attached to others’ posts in hopes that i have a few moments to read/watch/listen to the article/video/song. i have to admit that it’s a good way to stay on top of news/sports/music/culture/entertainment/technology.

so, i’m now on tumblr. not sure i’ll have anything important to say, but i’ve already found interesting people here, and i look forward to following them.

happy january 13th! (13 is my favorite number)
