[UP]Date

Summer is coming to a close...but the door is moving slow. So until it shuts and I have to open the all too familiar door known as "Fall Semester," I'm going to try and do two (three if you wanna be smart) things. Rest and Recuperate and have as much fun as possible

If you get to see me within this week before I go back for RA training, feel blessed lol. Means you mean a lot to the kid because there is nothing I'm loving more than my full sized futon, laptop, 32 inch HDTV and Blackberry Tour. No where I'd rather be than the second floor of that Halset st home. Not to say I haven't been out. Got to see a reeaalll cool prettyful young lady yesterday then me and some Bronx natives turned it up on the lower east side last night haha. Not to mention the weekly Buffalo Wild Wings visits.

But all in all this has been an ILL ass summer. At JP not only did I learn so much about the business I was in, I took some life lessons with me too.

1) Always hit the ground running. Don't wait for someone to give u advice on something that you could be doing better to improve upon it. Do what you gotta do off top and bang it out.

2) Don't let anything pass you twice. If you are in a field where you know nothing about nothing (which is how it was for me in Prime Brokerage) if you hear something once and you dont know what it is you should ask but if you don't, the next time you hear it you have to inquire about it and learn what it is. That goes for anything in life, we should be on a constant quest for learning

3) BE HUMBLE! I gotta big EGO (oww) and I always think I'm right but in life when you are the student you have to submit yourself to the teacher. Take everything as constructive criticism, learn as much as you can because NO ONE knows everything. That's a lesson I learned at JP and I'm taking with me for life.

Now that all that's said, It's gonna be a LIVE weekend. Who knows what's gonna happen tonight but tomorrow is Moriam's wedding (damn shame it aint to me). The world is my oyster until I go back to school on Tuesday

So in the mean time, I'm contemplating how (really IF i should) I can blow this check I just got. It's been a a LONG tiring summer and I need to treat myself. Let's see...Louis messenger bag, BK Circus sale, Versace shades... all of the above?
