Bullet-Pointed Thoughts

Ack. So many things in my head now that I can’t seem to put them together in one cohesive blog. But maybe the good ‘ol bullet points would do the trick.

• NYU is done. It flew by so fast and I am so ready to earn some money and live in NY as I have always dreamed of. But part of me does know that soon, I’ll be missing the classroom setting again.
• After all sorts of physical, mental and psychological preparations in the last couple of years (ahh, good times), I am so ready to be married to next week.
• Speaking of marriage, is there really such a thing as a woman’s biological clock? I may not understand this at 25, but why do women freak out when they are single… and hitting 30? Is it fear of being alone? Fear of settling for whoever is available? Fear of not being able to have babies?
• I am working on this project FOR my boss who is coincidentally 30, and one of the most wonderful people in the whole world. I have been trying to set her up with some friends of friends to see if they find a connection somehow. After one drinks session, I found out that this guy has just recently divorced. Sigh. Dating is tough, especially here in New York. Well, there are other fishes with no baggage somewhere out there.
• With all this work-life balance in a corporate setting, do I really want to work in Madison Avenue? It’s this Passion vs. Profession battle. Let’s see. Do I really want to work with Excel sheets everyday and be analytical? Or eat Powerpoint for breakfast and be more creative?
• David and I made an easy decision on our wedding cake ~ who doesn’t love chocolate? But we’re taking a while in writing our wedding vows, the hardest to fulfill.
• If you haven’t seen “An Inconvenient Truth” by Al Gore, you should. It’s 57 degrees now in New York City, when it’s supposed to be snowing! Global warming is a reality, folks.
• If you are late to the game (like me) and haven’t been following “Grey’s Anatomy”, then you’re a fool. Start watching now! It’s not too late. You will not regret it.
• If you don’t like banking, you might change your mind when you read this article. In a nutshell, if this year’s bonuses at Goldman Sachs is divided equally among all employees, everyone will get a hefty $623,418 each. That is why BMW had set up shop in Wall Street so that IB’s can just cross the street when they feel like picking up a Z4 during their lunch break. Not too shabby.

Happy Holidays everyone!
