7 Days 'Till My New Destiny Begins!!!!

Only 7 days until I move to New York!!!! I am feeling so many things right now; I'm excited, stressed, curious, hopeful, anxious, too many emotions to name. I have been wanting to exit right from here so long, and finally its happening. Don't get me wrong, i'm certainly no "Small-Town Dorothy" with "Big City" dreams that New York will be one big buttered & cream-cheesed bagel filled, Sex and the City re-run. I expect the same run-of-the mill life problems for people my age, pursuing my field, living in my income bracket. I just anticipate having to live around less fictitious "characters". Los Angeles is filled with so many people trying to be things they're naturally not. Everyone here is extremely self-conscious, fake, dishonest, and self-absorbed. If you're not that great a person, I'd really like to be able to see that upfront. Talking about people behind their backs, or pretending to like those you don't simply for the possibility of them being able to do something for you is completely high-school. While in New York I hope to make GIGANTIC strides in getting somewhere in my career, meet nice people I can trust and hopefully keep for life, and just enjoy what's left of my 20's since the beginning of them have been more than forgettable.
