Battery Park City Run
Hello from a 70 degrees and sunny NYC! Or at least what was...
At the moment I am staring up at the ceiling of my summer apartment. I have fallen off the couch and have failed to get back up out of sheer, overwhelming laziness. After a grueling finals week, summer is F.I.N.A.L.L.Y. here, and I want to revel in every ounce of pure and well-earned lethargy.

This is the view of the East River from my couch when one is sitting upright. I could spend all day just watching the boats go by... and one of these days I might... just because I can.

And then summer came.
Happy Summer lovelies!
I cannot believe I survived finals week.... The loss of hope and sanity is evident when half-way through the week you find yourself sitting on the floor watching vines at 3am, eating week-old mac-and-cheese, and laughing and crying at the same time. Totally not me... that was my roommate... anywho....
I have found myself in yet another crazy situation, but this time it is over moving out of my lovely apartment that I've had for two years. It's going to be so hard to leave this place. I knew once I got it that any apartment I get in my post-grad life is essentially going to be a downgrade from this one... oh well. I'm sitting on my couch relaxing at the moment and finishing my roommate's pino grigio. Not quite a fan of white wines.. but this one isn't bad, and honestly, anything tastes good after cleaning the apartment all day. All the windows are open and there's a nice summer breeze coming in. I'm also entertaining the entire neighborhood with this song at the moment....
This is the first time I've had the chance to take a breather all semester and I am so thankful for it. Between five classes and 20+ hours a week at my internship (not to mention the hours I spent commuting), I have forgotten what just sitting with nothing to do feels like. There are 9 months worth of Strand purchases that I am looking forward to starting on. Also, I have the distinct honor this summer of creating another map quilt (see pic below) for two of my friends who are expecting their first baby. I am so excited that I will be in the city for her birth! For those of you wanting to know if I can make one of these for you... I'll be making them available on my Etsy shop soon!

Yes, I am still alive....
Hello Readers!
I have honestly missed you, this blog, and knowing that my thoughts and adventures are not lost somewhere in cyberspace, but are instead, hopefully, being enjoyed, albeit second-hand.
Well.
Have I got some news for you.
I don't know how many of you have been following this blog since its inception (i.e. Freshman year), but if you have been one of those lucky few (translation: I am so sorry), you will know that every year around this time, I do everything in my power to get a good job that allows me to stay in the city over the summer. Sadly, my attempts have failed..... until now.
That's right!
My first summer in the city and you will have exclusive access to my adventures which will be numerous considering I will have all the time in the world to explore (when I'm not working, of course).
I honestly cannot wait to experience New York City in the summer, seeing as how the only way I've really experienced it is 14 degrees and snowing (it's only just now starting to get into the 60's for all you who are wondering *Praise God from whom all blessings flow*).
I hope you are as excited as I am. If you aren't, chances are you are someone from back home who is thinking you won't be able to see me at all until Christmas. To that, I respond: Free couch and a tour of NYC.
AAAAHHHHHH Someone pinch me because this has to be a dream!
Catch ya later peeps....

Merry Christmas to All!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
If you haven't noticed, I've been rather silent lately.... Final exams and traveling stole my last ounce of blogging energy.
Never fear, I will be back, but in the meantime, here's one of my favorite recently-taken pictures.
I took this one in the way to the airport, while my cabbie was giving me really heavy life advice (not all New Yorkers are mean, rude, and selfish!).
Until next semester, lovelies!
XOXO
