Well, here we are. The last last week of my high school career. The last day of having all of my classes on the same day. A lot of lasts. Including my last blog posting. Time flew by this year, sometimes too fast, sometimes too slowly. Most of the school year was spent looking forward to this week and the weeks afterwards, and having the time to spend on myself. A lot of my other time was spent looking forward to going to New York City.
New York City was everything I expected and more. It gave me the opportunity to try all new things, such as duck, calamari, escargo, the chance to sample new cuisines, and familiar cuisines in new ways. Les Halles, a french restaurant, was where I had the opportunity to try escargo. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
The statues and buildings of New York City were more then I could ever expect. I'm trying to come up with a decent description, but I sincerely cannot. The streets were long and confusing, the subway was an adventure, the concert was the best event I have ever had the fortune to experience, broadway was full of glitter and magic, the humidity was hot, and the sidewalks were glittery at night. New York was an experience everyone should have.
The Ritz Carlton was something I'll take with me from high school. The tour showed me a beautiful building full of occupations that I would be happy doing at wages that I could live with. But it's a commitment that I'm not sure I would be good with making. We'll see where I go in life.
Graduation is in a few days. My big brother Adam is flying out for it and I'm seriously excited. I'm excited for this summer, but to be honest, I'll miss high school, and this class. I'll leave this with some words from Lady Gaga, "We can be strong out on this lonely run on the road to love." Good luck Class of 2011.
