Gotta Start Somewhere

I just finished applying for my first New York job. It's a real long shot, but I'm a big believer in aiming high. I'd much rather strike out than settle--that goes for everything in life.

My options are pretty open at this point. I'm applying to grad school this fall and am only looking at NYC. If I'm lucky enough to get in somewhere, maybe I'll defer, maybe I won't.

To be honest, this whole process just makes me excited. It's great to be able to feel something. I know that may be sad to say, but sometimes I get so focused and caught up in work and other things that I don't appreciate things.

My goal is to put myself out there and to as the song says "hold my heart over my head". I may fail and I'm OK with that. I may just do fine and I'm good with that too. Who knows, maybe I'll be great. That possibility is worth giving this a shot.
