It has been a nutty summer of working and playing and traveling around the world. By some stroke of craziness, I have been everywhere from Salt Lake City to New York to Paris to Munich - where I can officially say I have celebrated the "real" Oktoberfest. The world is an awfully big place, and it's both lucky and humbling that in the past two years I've been able to see so much of it.
In a peculiar turn of events, I am suddenly excited for chilly air, cloudy days, and being a little closer to home. I've even been liking the rain lately.
This week I started working on a new project in Princeton, New Jersey. Princeton happens to be the one town in New Jersey that I love. Probably because it reminds me of college and trees and pretty architecture. If I were a brainiac with a lot of money who was cut out for the Ivy Leagues, I would have almost certainly chosen to go to school at Princeton.
Earlier tonight I went to scope out the sushi scene in Princeton. I am slightly embarrassed to admit that I have eaten sushi no less than five times in the past week and a half. Also, I have a lunch date on Thursday, and guess where we're going? Yes. Pretty soon I'm going to turn into a fish.
I started keeping a list of all the important things I have learned in life (well, since yesterday). If I ever get really, really wise, maybe I'll turn it into a book.
Speaking of books, I am in process of reading Harry Potter #5. Sure, I'm a little behind after a 6-year gap since reading the previous book. But I have recently made it a life goal to finish this series. Consequently, I dreamt that I was in a Harry Potter book last night and let me tell you, it was extremely scary!
In other news, I am completely afraid of boredom and complacency. I can't follow the same routine for long. (Maybe it would be different if I found a routine that I really loved? Then I could probably stick to it, with little variations.) Even though I wouldn't say that my days qualify as routine -- mostly due to being in a different city every week -- I have decided that I need some life changes. So I am currently working on those. Even though I don't have a clue what's ahead, I'm awfully excited to find out.
One final thought of the day:
