The most exciting thing that happened to me this week was I went to New York City in search of a job. The day was eventful and adventurous. My sister came with me for moral support and it was both needed and appreciated. The bus ride was great, especially because I was on the stand by list and it could have turned out that I had to wait an hour for the next bus while my sister headed to the city. Luck was on my side because I not only got on the bus but, I scored the front seat on the top level of the double decker! Awesome!
My sister and I got to New York and we got subway day passes. Great value! Afterward, my sister and I attempted to find Chinatown which was harder than we imagined. Eventually, our persistence paid off and we enjoyed delicious spring rolls and bead curd!
In the late afternoon, I got dressed up for an interview. My sister was walking with me when one of her flip-flops broke. Since I brought my heels for my interview and I had sneakers in my bag. Fortunately, my sneakers fit my sister's feet. Unfortunately, I only have four pairs of shoes, and without my sneakers I'm left with my flip-flops, ill-fitting tennis shoes from trash picking, and my heels. Soon, I will visit my family, at which point I will be reunited with my go-to-shoes.
Also this week, my roommate moved out and she took with her three cats that I have come to love and take care of over the months. It was a tough week. I cried most nights. I'm sad that the cats are gone and my place seems empty. At the same time, it feels like a relief to not have them around knowing they are leaving soon. I think they got tired of me crying on them.
