Book Worm



I picked up some new books while at one of my endless trips to Barnes and Noble the other day. Since I can't get enough of Bethenny Frankel (The Real Housewives of NYC) I picked up her New York Times Bestseller, "Naturally Thin". I started it already and I think it's great that she is putting out a smart way to eat WITHOUT dieting! She's fabulous, I would follow anything she does! I also picked up a fashionable humor book (of course), "Bringing Home The Birkin", by celebrity stylist Michael Tonello. I haven't started it yet, but I think it will be a great summer read, and nothing beats the adventures of a stylist who travels the world in pursuit of the most coveted bag of all time.

So finals are officially over! As much as I would have loved to be taking some summer classes, the bank of Desiree is already in the negative digits with with all the loans from this previous semester. I can't believe how much a college education costs these days...it is absurd! I am going to be job hunting for something this summer just unsure what I want to do. I'm famous for coming up with great ideas and not following through with them. I seriously go from one extreme to the next! I keep saying I want to get back into retail, there are so many cute boutiques in the city especially near my campus, and then I want to be a Nanny somewhere on the upper east side, and then of course I would love to get my foot in the door at a Fashion magazine....oooh decisions, decisions...only time will tell! I am however very happy with how fast this semester flew by! I'm really happy I decided to go back to school! I actually feel like I'm doing something to better myself and I'm trying to take in every second of it and really appreciate it this time around. If all goes well, I will be the first person in my family to graduate from college, and I have so many plans I just know no matter what I decide, I'm so proud I decided to do this for myself. I'm also grateful that my parents have been so supportive! =)
