I looked at a calendar the other day and realized just exactly how little time I have left in this city, the one that I swore would make me fabulous and fantastic and better than my small-town roots. I’ve undoubtedly become more fabulous in the past four years, and my childish ego has worn away, allowing me to make peace with the small-town environment I’ve grown to appreciate and–perhaps–even value more than life in the city.
New York has certainly contributed to my growth, and in these four years, I’ve seen a lot of things here that I’m not sure I’ll ever see anywhere ever again. That brings me to the actual point of this post: I have 10 weeks left. May 17th I will be in a car driving back to my hometown in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, somewhere where I won’t be able to see a gentleman with a cat on his head or be lunging distance from Colin Meloy in a hotel lobby.
So: The 10 Weeks Project. Each week, for these 10 weeks, I will be doing something that I cannot do anywhere else. I’ve got some pretty glorious adventures on my schedule. I’m sure I’ll regret not doing all the New York Things in the future sometime, so I may as well go out big and do as much as I can!
