the tale of two lives.

So one may be lead to believe that the NYC intern life is one of luxury and baller-dom (yes, I coined that myself), but unfortunately this isn't completely true (maybe 1/4th true).

It's true, as a consultant there are several perks that I've enjoyed. For example this week: I traveled to Las Vegas, I saw "KA - Cirque Du Soleil" and I had a meal with my case team of 4 that cost us $1,100 (uh yah, we went through 5 different sets of silverware).


BUT before you begin envying me and extrapolating these experience over my entire summer, let me tell you about how I spend the other 3 weeks in that month: I share a one bedroom apartment with 2 other boys, we only use the A/C in 30 minute intervals and for guest, and I eat cup ramyun (noodles) every other night for dinner [retail value per cup: $.66]

Balling, right? Kind of. Welcome to my life.
