I am going to miss being in the desert. I am going to miss being in the mountains and near the Pacific Ocean. In less than a week’s time I will be back three hours into the future and reflecting on my summer of 2011. These past few months have been some of the hardest, loneliest, best, and exciting of my life.

So, here’s to Florida and California and New York. Today I am writing out my six month plan because, yes, I am moving back to New York next year.

I can’t wait to look back on this time in my life and feel so amazingly smart and strong for it.
