When you roll the dice and swear your love's for me
Ah, the marketing project, which is due Monday, is almost finished. The paper itself is done, for the most part. I need to write a conclusion and finish the appendix, but that's not a huge deal. That'll be two press releases, a budget, and a timeline. And I think that's it. But 10 of 15 pages are finished, which was what I was aiming for tonight--getting the actual paper/plan written.
Tomorrow, I'm hanging out with Adina, so I needed to get it mostly finished, so that on Sunday, I just have a little bit to do to finish up the last details. And, it seems like the mission was accomplished!
And classes are over, which is kind of a relief, but it'll be weird not to see everyone every day. That's what kind of sucks the most--we bonded, and I think that some longer lasting friendships will come out of it, but it's weird. Even after only 4 months. But today, I wasn't really feeling that. I came home and took a nap, and then started blasting on this paper.
So apparently, Reader's Digest has confirmed what I've suspected for the past year. New York is a really friendly city. I love that article--and it's so true. Not even just in being polite in general things (no, they don't apologize as much as Canadians, but no one does!), but in terms of talking to strangers? All the time.
Granted, it has to do with the amount of time you spend in a stranger's face, but the very essence of what makes New York what it is means that you interact with other people so much more. I talk to random people on the subway all the time, have random conversations about other people, observations, the weather, the neighborhood... things like that, that I don't necessarily talk to strangers about in Calgary. Or, rather, I don't have the opportunity to talk to strangers about. Because there are so many people, and you're always around them, there's just so much more opportunity to interact.
