White Flag

I've resigned myself to having zero social life, whatsoever. See ya in the summer, world.

There's No Place Like Home

A week in since spring break, and school is in full swing. The break came just in time. There's nothing quite like spending time with my family and friends. I like them so much that they make it a little difficult to leave.

I sat on my flight back to the big city, blinking back tears, thinking about how lucky I am to have such amazing people in my life. Really. I must be doing something right to be blessed with family and friends like them.

I thought about that, and I thought about the life I was returning to. And even though I hate leaving everyone, well, my dear friend Joyce put it best:

"..Remember everyone will still be your friends even when you're over there. I know it's hard not seeing them whenever you want, but at least it keeps you looking forward to visiting home. Also you're living your dream for a year, then you can come back to us."

She was right.

"Back to reality," I thought at first. Looking out the window, I could see the city peaking through the clouds, and I realized that reality isn't so bad. I was going back to exactly where I want to be, doing exactly what I want to do.

And when your reality and dreams collide, it is a beautiful thing.

Creative Genius


I went to MoMA as an assignment, and finally caught a glimpse of the Tim Burton exhibit. It was like Dr. Seuss gone mad. He is nuts. Out of this world-- out of control-- nuts. But in a very awesome, very cool way; in a way that makes you wanna jump into his ear and peek around, and poke through his brain.

I've already made up my mind that I am setting aside a few solid hours to peruse through the entire exhibit before it ends. Staring into the depths of a mastermind, how could I possibly pass that up?

Stating the Obvious


11th floor view from my drawing class

I can't believe that it's already March. Where is the time going? I guess the phrase "New York minute" is no joke. Well, school has officially taken over my life. And it's not that I've never had a busy schedule; I've had to juggle several things before. What's different is that this sole thing is monopolizing my time. And I don't really seem to mind it.

Updates, updates, updates. Hm.. School has officially taken over my life. Oh, wait. I already mentioned that? Well, that was easy enough.
