Future Plans

I had a few requests to post about my plans. But first I want to thank you for remembering me. Sometimes I worry that the time I spent on this blog was not real- or that the wonderful people I met must have forgotten me. But then I post and with in a day get 4 responses. Thank you.

So I wanted to take time off as soon as I graduated but instead I got a internship offered to me in NYC! I will be there for 10 weeks - working with Columbia University and New York Presbyterian hospital doing Ophthalmic Photography (using this type of camera to photograph the back of the eye or the retina. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundus_camera) Its a very specialized field and the program I am graduating in is the only one in the world you can study this stuff. Its going to be crazy living and working in NYC for 10 weeks and there is a good chance they may want to hire me after that because a few photographers recently changed locations! We will have to wait a while before I know if I got a full time job.

It all just happened so fast. I dont know what to think, and like always I am scared out of my pants. Really I have not changed much since I was a frequent poster here. Me and Nate are doing well as can be- considering our time together is ending and we are not sure what will happen to us. We want to stay together but he has 2 more years of school. Thats another one we will have to wait and see about.

I graduate Saturday about 7pm with high honors btw! I have 16 family members comming into down to see me do so - but I will still miss nonna so emensily. I wish she could see me now. I wish my grandfather could too. He died a week before I gradated high school and i was devistated then that he did not see me graduate. I guess there will always be people missing from these big important events for me. But I have to try and be happy for those who will be able to see me.

I love you all- and I hope you are well. I will continue to stay in touch. (I may be starting a new blog soon to record my new life in the big apple and i will post a link to it here. )

Take care
