I need to get started with my independent study paper. :( The first draft is due early Sep and all I have now is a skimpy outline. XP Sounds like I'm in trouble.

On a separate note- shopping in ny is great! :) I've found a number of great buys that I couldn't resist (but should have resisted) and ending up busting my budget but all's good.

3 more weeks to Singapore

3 more weeks of work and I'd be back home! :) Nyc has been fun thus far, but I really miss home. Workdays are long.. but generally busy.. and work nights are spent either meeting up with friends for dinner, going to the gym, or just plain chilling at home. :) There's so many facets to ny, so many areas to explore, each with its own special character. My favourite areas are SoHo, Greenwich Village, Chelsea, Union Square, Lower East Side, St Marks Place, and even the Museum Mile on the Upp East Side. :) I love exploring.. I should probably branch out into the 'burbs- brooklyn, queens and flushing are said to be interesting.. but I'm inclinced to go back to philadelphia on the weekends.

Booooo. I feel old and cranky. :P
