This Ain't Sex and the City

I have dreamed about living in New York City for years. I believe it started at a MESA (Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement) competition when I was twelve when I met a recruiter from Cornell University. At that age I hadn't realized that Cornell was in Ithaca, New York - and no where near the Statue of Liberty - but the idea of pursuing higher education at such a prestigious university (in what I thought would be the Big Apple at the time) fascinated me even then.

Now, twelve years later, here I am. I live in a cute two bedroom apartment in Manhattan, with my dear friend Dez, for an outrageously low price. However, knowing that this is exactly where God wants me to be at this time in my life is more satisfying than my rent-controlled apartment.

"So what's the story behind the blog?"

Well, if you know me, you know I'm not the kind of girl who likes to spend countless hours on the phone. As a matter of fact, I don't like most forms of modern technology and communication. My attention is too divided to hold a suitable phone conversation, my email and Facebook responses are few and far between, and don't even bother texting me. I always say, "If you want to be close to me, you have to be close to me!" Translation: You have to be in my presence to know who I really am. So what happens when you and your presence moves 3,000 miles away...you blog!

Currently, the title of my blog is This Ain't Sex and the City. Although Sex and the City is one of my favorite shows, I want people to know that this blog, and more importantly, my life does not play out like that well written series (Note: I have watched many hours of Sex and the City, however, at no point did delusion set in). So until I find a title that fits the personality of this blog, it will remain.
