Au Revoir Charleston!

Today is my last day of vacation *sigh*. I'll be leaving Charleston tomorrow morning and will arrive in the Big Apple at night. I'm going to miss this place, but not the people, ugh!. Charleston is very beautiful, but the people - mainly the white people - are rude. When we went downtown the looks that came our way were ridiculous. There are very few racist people I've encountered in New York, but no match for ol' Chucktown.

What I mainly love about Charleston is the country aspect because deep down I'm an outdoors girl; I love to be surrounded by trees, plants and flowers, taking deep breaths of fresh air, however I love the convenience of a city where everything is at reach. 

Anyways, I'll see about uploading some pics when I get back home, for some reason my sd card is too big for laptops *sighs*.



Catch ya later :-)

Window Seat

"...so can I get a window seat? Don't want nobody next to me. I just wanna ticket out of town to look around and a safe touch down..."  - "Window Seat" by Erykah Badu

So my journey down to Charleston, SC, wasn't such a pleasant one. My train was supposed to depart at 6:15am, but there was something wrong with a wire and the train was 2hrs delayed. Mind you, I had to take a cab all the way from north bronx down to penn station which ended up being a $50 ride and normally I would have to took my cheap ass on the local bus and train, but it was a Sunday and local buses, express buses, nor metronorth trains run that early until 6am so I was left with no other choice.

Anywho, I had a window seat all to myself until probably after 2 hrs and that passenger sat next to me till we reached DC and I specifically remember this because we had to wait 30min because of a change of engine or some crap...like seriously...*rolls eyes*. After that there were no more delays and got to Chucktown at 9:20pm. *Sighs* ridiculous, but I know the ride could of been worst, I could've been stuck sitting next to someone for a whole 13hrs!

So far this vacay has been great for me. I know it would be boring for others, but the fact that I can actually relax and not hear my name called several times a day, is good enough for me.

I'm far from going back home yet, but I'm already planning out what to do next when I touch down in the Big Apple. There's no doubt I'm going to apply for jobs like crazy, but I do want to go in a certain direction. I'm not sure if I should attempt to get into film casting, stick with fashion, or something different. I am a bit interested in becoming a wine connoisseur, even bought a book of wine, but who knows. 

So now I'm going to catch up on my internship.


Bonne Nuit!
