things i've learned from commuting on weekends: the only people going to work are nurses and illegal male immigrants. most people taking the train are tourists, or going to big events, like the pr day parade. at 8am it should be illegal to be loud and obnoxious. people film commercials at grand central at 8am on saturdays. things i've learned from being in the city again: i love new york unconditionally despite it being dirty, chaotic, and having a horrible subway system. gelato from ciao bella in grand central is the best thing ever. pedicures and 10 minute massages are the best way to pass time after class. and shopping in the village. after going out with julia last night, i realized i still really have no idea what i want to do with my life. i want to teach, i want to work with poor kids in poor countries, i want to do public health and social development, i want to work with ngos. i have no idea. but i do know what i DONT want to do: be stuck in a boring job that i get used to bc the pay is ok and i get too comfortable. or be stuck in an office, period. hm. i have to go tutor richie soon, and then fall asleep.

your profile doesn't tell me about you - nada. I made some assumptions - you are Brasilian, you are a college student in NYC, you are in your early 20s. You don't need to know what you will do with your WHOLE life just have a one year plan, maybe a 3 year and then change and adjust as you go. love the way you write.
