It has been a whirlwind of a last few days, and until now, I haven't had a second to sit down and breathe... let alone, post in my little blog.
I'm not complaining! It has been busy, but that's mainly my fault. For some reason, I felt like I needed to cram as many things into the last weekend as possible... I think a part of me forgot that I would be here for another few months. I'm just afraid of missing out on things, I guess. There are events CONSTANTLY going on in New York City, though. If I tried to do everything, all of the time, I wouldn't be able to function properly. So, today I took a little break, and decided now would be a good time to update you :). Hereeeee we go:
SATURDAY
On this lovely day in NYC, I woke up and went to the Williamsburg Flea Market with my friend, Josh to meet our friends, Allison and Chris. Well, we thought it was the Williamsburg Flea Market (clothes, vintage things, yaddayadda), but it was the Smorgasburg Flea Market (aka: FOOD)... and we had all eaten already. So we just walked around and took in wafts of the delicious-smelling foods. And took photos of ourselves.

Then, we all decided to mosey on over to Central Park (because it was such a beautiful day, and the park seemed like the best place to be).
And there was a carnival going on.
And we took more photos of ourselves.
And to top it all off, we all saw someone propose on a boat in the middle of the park. Everyone on the bridge and on the bank erupted into applause for them. It was so perfect and cute, I almost cried.
I can't even remember what I did for the rest of Saturday.. is that a bad thing? I don't have anymore photos, and honestly, I've been running around so much, if there isn't a photo to document my adventure, I won't remember it. Sorry. We'll call it "The Lost Evening".
SUNDAY
I woke up bright and early, and ran across the Brooklyn Bridge! Ah. This was so wonderful. Such a perfect, perfect start to my day.
Well, okay, you caught me... it was more of a "run, take a photo, run, take another photo, run, take a photo for someone else" kind of morning workout. It was still a workout, though. And a perfect one at that.
Then, I met up with my longtime, high school buddy, Jack! He was in NYC visiting his sister, and I was able to chat with him for a bit about life, etc.
And then it was off to Greenwich Village to walk around, grab some lunch at a little French cafe, and head over to Washington Square Park to listen to the most wonderful music.
Yes. This man is playing two horns at the same time. He was more than fantastic. Don't ask me how he did it.
Anddd, I spied on cute, little men playing chess.
I've decided I love Washington Square Park. So much. I will definitely be back again and again!
It was my friend, Josh's, birthday yesterday, and it was his roommate's birthday on Sunday, so we all went out to celebrate on Sunday night. I don't have photos of this, but it was certainly fun. And Allison and I stumbled upon the most beautiful sunset. Just look at this!
And I saw this guy with an upside-down umbrella around his waist on the subway.
MONDAY
It was my first day at Bank Robber Music! I have no photos of any of this, but I will try to take a picture of my office building tomorrow. It's located rightttt next to Wall Street in the Financial District, and the building is really awesome. The semester will be quite fun.
TODAY
I woke up and walked a few blocks to get breakfast with Allison at the Iris Cafe. It is such a quaint, little place to sit down and grab a morning meal... and the coffee is fantastic. I got the most delicious cheddar and spinach biscuit, and Allison got toast with avocado and mustard on it. So. tasty.
Afterward, we both hit up with gym (which is awesome, by the way... there is a hot tub. We've already decided we'll be frequenting this when the weather gets a little cooler.). And the rest of my day has consisted of running errands and lazing around. I needed a little R & R.
My first day of class is tomorrow (which doesn't really mean a lot... I have one physical class, and the rest are online). But, regardless, I'm going to try to get organized with my life so I'm prepared for whatever assignments I have.
LIFE IS WONDERFUL. So wonderful.
