Decisions Made Well (and by me!)

I wonder sometimes about the choices I make. It can be very nice to be vindicated, even if not directly.

There are time when I am not in love with TC. In fact, I can't really think of anyone in my cohort who does. But, that doesn't mean that under all the rhetoric, terminology, and theory that I'm not learning something. I am, even if it sneaks up on me. So it's nice that TC is thought of so highly by others. If nothing else, I hope it ensures me a great job or two in the future! TC We're Number One!

I also recently read through Time Magazine on my way back from Detroit for Pesach. I was happy to see that although I am not the "greenest" or most earthy person, I'm not the worst of the greedy SUV oil-consuming polluters either. It's times like these I guess I should reevaluate my choice not to be a vegan, or a freegan. In Time they had "51 Things You Can Do To Make A Difference," and I found some of their ideas familiar. Mostly due to the fact that I'm living in NY:
Ditch the Mansion: My studio is certainly no mansion, and so it conserves a lot of energy. It probably also helps that I don't know how to cook. There was also a suggestion to do the laundry less, and I let my laundry build up beyond reason, so I'm good on that count too!
Work Close to Home: Though two times a week I do go downtown for my internship, most days I'm lucky to leave my apartment, much less my neighborhood. My main place of work, TC, is just 3 blocks away!
Ride the Bus: I don't really ride the bus, but I do take the train if I'm going pretty much anywhere. It's mass carpooling with some of the craziest, dirtiest people on earth!
Move to a High Rise: Ok, I-House is no High Rise, but it is a large dorm, and this relates right back to not having a mansion!
Wear Green Eyeshadow: I in fact own green eyeshadow, this is a trend I am prepared to embrace!
In the future, I am also open to making changes to be a better consumer and be aware of my own carbon footprint. If ever I make enough money, I would love to take Time up on their idea of Moving to London's Carbon-Free Zone, but that seems a long way off.
