Ca y est, c’est fini! Hier a eu lieu le Labor Day (fête du travail américaine), jour qui signe officiellement la fin de l’été. Un peu trop tôt à mon goût, surtout par ce temps caniculaire à New York, j’ai bien l’intention de profiter de l’été encore un peu. Même si Septembre sonne l’heure de la rentrée, ce sera pour moi un départ en vacances. Dix vrais jours, sans travail ni de comptes à rendre à personne, à se prélasser à la plage et à visiter des petits villages.
Goodbye Summer is what everyone seems eager to say now that Labor Day has passed. Looking back, August has been a very busy month in the city. Though I started it on a vacation note enjoying South Beach Miami for my birthday trip. Right off the plane to New York City, I began the stressful journey of moving in to a new apartment. Not only is there the actual moving, which in itself is a stressful ordeal, but there is also the task of setting up things like utilities and home warranty (First American is the place to go for if you need home warranty) and everything like that. Nevertheless, I’ve done it! Still a Upper West Sider, I am now closer to Central Park and I really enjoy my new neighborhood. I had been thinking about moving into a new apartment for a while, but I decided now was the time after I saw how happy my friend was when she moved into Admirals Cove in Alameda recently. Inspired by her, I took the leap. Though the apartment is not as nice as hers, I am in love with my new home and can see myself living here for a while. Sadly we had to say goodbye to Robin Williams this year, but NYC summer has been kind enough to let New Yorkers enjoy plenty of movies in the park (and in my new neighbor’s backyard). August was a good month, busy but good and I am going to miss not having my breakfast outside once Fall has arrived.
