Summer In New York: Moving

The Summer is not officially over and we are still getting predictions of good weather but there were days that seemed like Fall. Thinking about it though, after spending the better part of seven weeks in London, every day in NY seems like Summer.

I had a lot of free time where my only really responsibility was sleeping late, one that I fulfilled with much enthusiasm. Also, I had to finalize my College registration which I managed to do with no real problems.

The only other real highlight of Summer in NY was the prospect of moving which sometimes seemed very daunting but by the grace of God, it went off without a hitch. Wish I could say the same about the move of some other friends! There move turned out to be a total nightmare and fortunately for them, they have some good friends who were able to help them out when they were in dire need.

The next few weeks will be spent settling in the new place and making it seem like home as much as possible. Shouldn't be too hard, really. That my friends, means that when you get here on your visit to the Big Apple, there will be a welcoming room waiting for you so keep that in mind.

Summer In London!






For the most part, as far as the weather was concerned, it was really the furthest thing from Summer In London. That being said, and I, being the person that I am, did not let that get in the way of me enjoying my 6 1/2 weeks in London.
I did some work while I was there and I had a good amoutn of time to spend with some of my friends. Some I managed to see quite a lot of and others, well, lets just say I am still awaiting for a reply to my last five emails. But thats friends for you.
Some of the highlights are:

* Numerous visits to Nando's with some of my favorite people in London

* Staying at my favorite place in London, that special house at Greenland Quays

* Spending an amazing amount of time with two very special friends (lucky them...lol)

* Earning sufficient cash to cover an entire Semester at College

* Watching The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy (again) with Kalina as well as the first three Harry Potter films.

* The chance to walk through Central London again like I used to.

* The chance to buy myself some cool clothes and shoes at rock bottom prices.

As much as I enjoyed all that time in London, I am quite happy to be back in NY, home for me now, and get all set for the new Semester of College. I am hoping for an evenn better Semester and I plan to work even harded to make the most of what I have at my disposal.
Following are a few pictures of my Summer in London with some really special people.

Are you or are you not? That is the question!

BATH TUB TEST

It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time. This
little test should get you started.

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what
is the criteria that defines a patient to be institutionalized.

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, we offer a teaspoon, a
teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the
bathtub."

Okay, here's your test:

1. Would you use the spoon?
2. Would you use the teacup?
3. Would you use the bucket?

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would choose the
bucket since it is larger than the teacup or spoon."

I am withholding the answer in the hope that some of you who read this will post a comment telling me what method you will use.
Let me know and, as a budding Psychologist, I may be able to determine if you are mentally ill, that is to say, abnormal, or normal or just plain dumb. Its always best to hear it from a friend, so go on, give it a go.

Answer:
I guess all my friends are sane since, based on this test, everyone opted for pulling the plug.
