in only a year's time

So it's official, I'm a city gal. Going from Sydney to San Fran to NYC leaves me with no doubts that I want to live in a city after graduation. My sister's new apt is in the upper west side of NYC and even though I've never been very familiar with this area, it's captured my heart only within a few days. This area, compared to Midtown or Downtown is more neighborly. Tree lined streets and almost no tourists are key. Central Park is a block away and even though my trips there have led me to wonder why almost every person in NY owns an ugly dog, the location is wonderful and the best this city has to offer. So it's been decided .... a city (and I do have a list of potentials) is where I want to be. Now I wonder, am I asking too much? I'm a senior in undergrad that doesn't even have anything lined up and I'm already making demands. This upcoming job search will prove to be an interesting one.
