The Joys of Metro-North/Long Island Railroad

I have recently discovered the joys of the Metro-North and the Long Island railroad.  Earlier this year, my mother moved a couple of blocks away from the Long Island Railroad station, literally a 3-minute walk to the station. I can get into the city in like 28 minutes, such a change from having to commute 1.5 hours one way with the bus and the train. Only issue is, it obviously costs a lot more than just the regular bus and train. about 4x more to be exact, on peak.

Oh but it's so worth it so I stopped caring. If I could pay a little extra for a piece of mind, at least when I can afford to, I think it is totally worth it. To go home, where I currently reside with my boyfriend, I can take the Metro-North, which is roughly 35 minutes from Grand Central. I have to say I don't love Grand Central as I do Penn-Station. I don't know...it just seems less personal? Also, the signs are just not as straight forward as the Penn-Station signs. It is completely confusing and overwhelming.

So aside from that, I am watching Julie & Julia, the movie about Julia Child and the woman who started a blog about cooking the recipes of Julia Child. It inspired me to finally get on it with this blog. I started it like about a couple of months ago, and I got so lazy about it, especially with school and work. It is actually a real blog, yes I know it was based on a true story but I just saw this movie today, so blah blah whatever. Here it is... I love Amy Adams. She's absolutely adorable and she is amazing!

I doubt that this blog will have any profound effect on humanity or change the world but I really need an outlet from every day mundane life.

I used to have journals...but with age, I've lost interest in keeping one. I have this gigantic, gross bump on my right middle finger because I press my writing tools so hard against my finger, it has become deformed. So I don't enjoy writing by hand as much as I used to.

Plus, my boyfriend (fiance) thinks I need a hobby. HAH! Well here it is...my hobby. This is my life...on a blog...aside from school and work. My life is defined by what I write here. And he also wants me to keep my profanity to a bare minimum (I curse like the offspring of a trucker and a sailor). But I really do enjoy swearing from time to time, you know, strictly to relieve stress, and to relieve the pressures of every day life. ESPECIALLY, after commuting for long periods of time, in a moving box, with the lowest of the low of New York City population.

I am supposed to do my final project that is due on Monday right now. I've barely started and I cannot for the life of me figure out a way to focus and to figure out a way to develop a marketing plan for an exhibition in the museum that my group and I invented for my Business of Museum Management class. Our professor, did NOT teach us how to create a marketing plan. Yes, I took an intro to Advertising Marketing Communications, but that was eons ago and we didn't focus on marketing as much as we did with advertising, seeing that the class name starts with the word advertising. And yes, I know that I can google it, but google does not solve everything...
