I started this blog in January 2010 just as I was moving to NYC to keep my family and friends informed of all of my adventures. Since then, it's become, well, this. So here.. Here are my stories, my thoughts, my rants, my worries, my fears, my hopes and my dreams. Figuring out life as it happens and trying to be the most optimistic person I know. Happy you could join me on my adventure :)

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.
