I feel like I’m not “here” right now. Does that make remotely any sense? I’m currently at my internship, but I’m so unaware of my surroundings and obsessed with my e-mails and my job applications that I forgot where I was.

It’s official. I have left New York City for the summer. Let’s look at a few specific reasons why I’m really, terribly upset about all of this:
