i have a plan a and a plan b for this summer.

plan a:
i am accepted to the winant clayton volunteer program and will be an american ambassador of goodwill to britain providing meaningful full-time service in the nation's capital, london, and strengthening the bond of friendship and wartime alliance we formed back in the 1940's. classy.

plan b:
i am not accepted as a winant clayton volunteer and i move to new york city. as of april 1st, there is a a sunny room for rent where one of the roommates is a german jazz pianist who loves ice cream and cooking. awesomeness incarnate. (although, the likelihood that i would move in time to be a candidate for that specific apartment is slim, but just the idea of discussing the delicate bouquet of flavors in a certain carton of ben & jerry's with a german expat musician is so alluring.)
