Namalicious

Today has been a good one, correction, great one.
I have gotten to take in meaningful, deep conversation with a glorious friend.
Even better, while eating my favorite sushi roll to date.
One for the books really.
Great topics such as fashion, books, New York, goals, and life.
A good place is around the corner, I feel it.
Thank you CSimp.

Refreshing Taste of Home

After a glorious Geology lab on Friday I stressfully scurried around to get out of Knox.
So incredibly worth it.
Pulled into town, headed straight for Belmont.
An extremely fun, simple night with a dear friend and those she calls friend.
Thoroughly enjoyed the company of each.
Belmont Boulevard is fantastic.
I am embarrassed to have not known of it while I lived in Nashville.
PM and it's feng shui & sushi, Bongo Java filled with mocha and puppies, and the beautiful houses they compliment.
Nothing better to follow than a day in Green Hills slightly filling the gaps in a desperate wardrobe.
The disgrace of UT Football was not enough to bring down such a lovely high.
A good day with mom, beautiful night with a great friend, and an afternoon chat with a second mom makes for a superb rejuvenating weekend in the streets of Nash.
Sprite has nothing on the thirst quenching taste of home.

Coffee Dilemma

I have gone and confused myself.
Remedy Coffee is bigger and has a more open loft feel.
It also has better music and comfortable seating.
Coffee&Chocolate is more quaint, QUIETER, very small, and cheaper/better coffee.
It is also IN Market Square.
Don't know what to do.
The people I got to people watch at C&C were more interesting.
I get the older coffee break from work vibe here.
C&C had the eccentric folks.
This parking is more convenient, but never free.
I think C&C wins.
Thanks little Manhattan virtual corner.
You're always there to help me figure out my life.

My Little Nook

I have found it.
My nook of Knoxville.
Coffee & Chocolate.
I am sitting on a side street of Market Square in a precious, very small coffee shop.
I have a view of a huge Regions building with a sweet, little park behind it.
Utterly urban.
The feng shui doesn't hurt.
Thanks goodness I have found my little New York cafe.
I can be five years old and pretend.
I have zero problems with that :)

Wanting something too badly?

I went to a meeting for a fraternity named Phi Alpha Delta tonight.
Never have I left a meeting feeling so incredibly overwhelmed before.
I have wanted one specific thing, consistently, for the majority of my life.
I want to be in New York.
After many inconsistencies in life, as most endure, having such a powerful passion and intense love for something has always taken me off guard.
I have never loved anything or desired for anything more.
I have always known what a difficult journey it was going to be to accomplish the details of this goal.
New York University Law School is number 4 in the nation.
Tonight I got to be slapped in the face with the point-by-point facts of exactly what it takes to do so.
Luckily as I sit and try to decompress I realize, yes everything happens for a reason.
I love New York enough to, for one, try with every fiber of my being to attain the academia needed to be accepted.
New York is not something I ever put in a questionable sense.
Tonight, however, I had to go through and pick law schools from all over in order to be realistic.
As a person who is a complete mixture of realism and idealism, it was not an easy thing to do.
I WILL give my all to accomplish what is necessary to achieve my joyous goal.
If not, however, the law school in which I attend will still be great and it will be for an intended purpose.
The facts do not change with that possibility though.
I will be a New Yorker.
Possibly the happiest one you ever meet.
