Right, I’ve disappeared for 3 months and now I’m back with updates! “Exciting times ahead” says the daily tribune of my life (or rather quarterly, judging by how sparse my blog entries are)
On the Front Page: I’ll be working in New York from September to December!
I’ve been given this fabulous opportunity to work in the NY office for 4 months. The company will be sponsoring my flights and accommodation for the time that I am in NY. This is truly an exceptional opportunity as I am of a junior position in the firm, yet to have this experience is beyond words!
This experience will also double as an experiment. Since I graduated 2 years ago, my parents have been asking me to consider moving to NY since my brother lives there. I’ve always been hesitant because: 1) I actually like living in London 2) I’ve been to NY for holidays, and loved it, but living there is a whole different experience. I guess this experience will prove if I have the Western or European approach to working life.
On to page 2: Annual family vacation in Greece and Turkey!
I’m heading to Greece and Turkey in the first 2 weeks of September for my family’s annual vacation. I think it’s pretty cool how my family fly to a designated country each year to meet up. 2 weeks of island hopping around Greece, I can’t wait! Important fact to bear in mind, I have not had a holiday since January.
I’ve been trying to time this vacation in with my job in NY, and it appears that my travelling schedule will be slightly hectic. I’ll be flying out to Greece after work on a Thursday evening, spend 2 weeks around Greece and Turkey, take the first flight back to London on a Friday morning. Reach London hopefully around Friday evening, switch my luggage from sunny Greece to snowy NY, and fly out to NY on Saturday afternoon. Ideally I’ll reach late on Saturday night, which will give me the whole Sunday to rest before starting work on Monday! Now, all I need is to actually book my flights!
Page 3 onwards to end: I’m still working my butt off
Work is still as hectic as ever. It’s gotten to a point where I no longer worry about my projects because there are just too many! Looking back on my university days, I still prefer offices to lecture halls and projects to assignments!
I guess my daily tribune is really short! Hopefully next edition will be filled with holidays pics and Times Square!
