I had wanted to spend a quiet July 4th weekend at home reading and watching TV. However, I decided the last minute to visit my buddies Siobhan and Steve over that weekend in New York City instead. It was great catching up with the both of them. Steve was busy preparing for his New York bar examination, which will be take place at the end of the month. Siobhan was in the midst of her well-deserved two month long break between her graduation from NYU Stern and her new job. Nonetheless, both of them were gracious enough to hang out with me last week. Thank you for hosting me.

The first night in NYC was a night out with Fernando, Nick, Serge, and Will - all whom happened to be in town the same night as I was. The second day was spent at Jones Beach in Long Island. That day, I was badly burned from not using sunscreen lotion at the beach even though I knew full well that I should have. Today, the redness and burning sensation have subsided but my whole body still itches like crazy. Moral of the story is: don't be a hero, use the sunscreen lotion. On the brighter side of things, we joined Brian and other close friends on Independence Day to watch the fireworks on a roof deck of an office building in Mahattan. What a spectacular view of the city and fireworks!

I have been visiting NYC a lot lately and starting to like the city. The city appeals to me because as an energetic person, I am attracted to the exuberance that the city has to offer. I think I would fit right in NYC. I am now seriously considering living and working in NYC for a few years.
