I don't know what's wrong with me, but my stomach hurts like crazy :( Probably too much Asian food this weekend. Stupid Asians. It's the kind of hurty stomach that makes your upper legs hurt too... you know what I'm talking about? I think I might spend the rest of the night curled up in bed in the fetal position.

So this month has flown by, and I attribute it to me not spending any weekends in New York City. I went to Boston, home to Jersey, and then to Maryland/DC - this weekend I'll probably have to make another trip home to pick up my new glasses from the eye doctor. And you know what? I don't miss New York at all. I don't know, perhaps I'm jaded, or cheap, or intimidated by this disgusting weather... or maybe I just really miss people who are close to me and who I can be myself around.

My mother has been asking me about my grad school plans, and my older brother is finishing grad school next spring. We're both thinking of relocating. Well, I had originally somewhat planned to try to find school in New York, but the cost of living is just bugging the hell out of me. My apartment is all right, but I've definitely seen its limitations - most notably its lack of windows. My neighborhood is halfway dirty - though really beautiful neighborhoods are only blocks away. Michelle recently told me that a one-bedroom apartment in Philly costs $800 a month... I said, "Are you kidding?!" $800 a month would be heavenly if I could live alone.

But also I've thought that I would love to live with my brother - and next year might be the best time, before our lives progress much further. Also, Digitas has a Chicago office, so I could try to transfer in case school doesn't work out for the fall. Or I could do both, because we have tuition reimbursement for grad courses.

But there are certain things I don't want to leave. As always. I guess now I've got to decide how much those things really mean to me in the long run.
