Black Friday – the aftermath

Sorry readers, I was busy sleeping so didn’t have time to update you all on MY black friday adventure. I went to Queens Center, a large mall in my neighborhood. I was there 10 minutes after they opened at midnight and it was crazy. They call the event: ‘Midnight Madness’ for a reason! There was… Continue reading Black Friday – the aftermath

Sweet return, or?

It was hard leaving New York. Leaving the town of Forest Hills, that is my home. Leaving my friends, that I love so much!

I’m coming home.

I couldn’t sleep last night. It’s always been difficult for me to finish my things on time, whenever I was moving. Usually it would turn out with last minute panic attacks.

Only a few days after my last blogpost I went to my mailbox and the only thing awaiting me was this beautiful envelope: The letter was thick and heavy and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to open it.
