I can't believe it's almost 2011, and that I'm 24 now. I feel like I'm getting old - but then again, I've always been sort of an old soul.
With only one class left next semester, I am rapidly finishing up graduate school at NYU in Global Journalism and French Studies. I spent my summer living in Paris while I took 2 courses in French studies and researched North African food in France. All that work called for a vacation from my vacation, so I then - with boyfriend, best friend and co-conspirator Elliott, traveled to the South of France, then French and Spanish Basque country, then a quick hit in Portugal before heading back for my second year in New York.
I've been quite busy during this beautiful New York fall - interning at France Today & France-Amerique magazines, www.francetoday.com. I'm also writing for the NYU/NYTimes blog called the Local East Village, http://eastvillage.thelocal.nytimes.com/author/cc-glenn/. In the evenings I'm working at the James Beard House.
As this busy year is wrapping up, I am gearing up for another one. I'm off to France and Morocco for a month in January to delve into research and reporting for my thesis. Keep up with me while I'm there on my blog, at http://laviecc.blogspot.com/. When I return, I'll be hibernating with my loads of reporting in order to produce a thesis by May. And then who knows.......It's off to find a job I suppose, but who knows where.
I'm actually a little sad that it's all passed by so quickly. Although it has its difficulties, I'm learning to love New York City more and more each day - especially during December. I believe it actually is the most wonderful time of the year. I'm even beginning to think I don't want to leave just yet.
