N-Y-C-you soon

Nine hours till my plane leaves. It will be my first time ever in New York. I still have to pack. I still have to sleep. I still have to come down from this mixed euphoria-exhaustion from a stressful, eventful day that got progressively better, while also anticipating my forthcoming adventure. Yes, I'm really looking forward to taking a bite out of the Big Apple, seeing some old buds, and hopefully forgetting about school and work for a few days.
