my hip quotient - nil

on my way to work today, i had to make a detour because the police had cordoned off a section of berkeley street where fbr is located.
as the day progressed, it was made known that there had been a stabbing the previous night at a club on that street.
it's quite sad really because it really goes to show my current hip quotient because i didn't know there was a hot celebrity hang-out next door to the building i live in.

who's the badass with the fabulous i-banking internship smack in the middle of mayfair? me.

anxious

what have i got myself into this time? i-banking interview in two and a half hours - make it or break it will-o.

oxford and worcester this past weekend. tired but reading like crazy for interview.

everything's so beautiful here.

london

i'm here, i'm excited, i'm so very tired.

whoosh!

i leave in about three hours, typically worried that i've forgotten something, that my passport will mysteriously disappear, or that my bags will be overweight.
it's all so very exciting. this time tomorrow in a new city, a new room, a new set of friends.
also, in case you missed the memo, i have a separate london journal -- the link is on the top right hand corner of this blog.
tata!

new york

this week has been crazy with all sorts of ridiculous situations and blissful moments. everyday, i wake up to sporadic internet connection which leaves me to list all the sites i need to go to and the e-mails i need to send and then prioritize. it's quite a scene - typing madly and opening as many windows as possible to get all the information before the internet goes off again - which for that matter, has just disconnected. given, we are freeloading our internet from ly's neighbors - or wherever these wireless signals are coming from.
also, i am quite sick of being here. i got lost in the projects in brooklyn and when i finally returned, i bought a frozen tv dinner for five freaking dollars and thought that this surely must be the bane of my existence.
i will let loose from today, spend more money on myself and have a generally decent time. hope you're doing well.
