Hello everyone! My goodness, a lot has happened since my very first blog post.

I’ve been was busy studying for midterms, putting the final touches on essays, reading the lovely Alice in Wonderland for my theater productions class, and lastly trying to catch up on some sleep.

Off to the village as Team Edward, a bum, and a geisha :)

Needless to say, Halloween was the most relaxed version of Halloween I’ve ever had and/or celebrated.

The Village was too crazy for my friends’ and my own taste, and after about an hour, we proceeded to return to the 55^th street dorms and just talk politics (theater politics), movies, and life, feasting on some chips and salsa with some lavender tea.

Sound appetizing?

I was a geisha! My friend Kelly helped me with the makeup

Currently, everyone is getting ready to sign up for classes next semester, which, luckily for me, is an enjoyable time where I can truly embrace my OCDness and put it to good use.I have 5 different mock schedules prepared, neatly compiled with an excessive amount of nauseating highlighter colors. I wish I were lying…

Anyway, picking classes and narrowing down my choices was so tough.

There is just so much I want to do and try and if I could, I would probably take all the English courses Marymount has to offer, however, that seems impossible.

As I glance at all my schedules, what I seem to be most excited about taking is Costume Design I – learning about the history behind clothes and their significance in society.

I think I take fashion and clothes for granted sometimes, but this course will definitely be an eye opener.

This weekend was kind of on the lazy side, but everyone needs one of those now and then.

Ever since my roommate gave me access to her Netflix account….oh geez.

Who is catching up on 21 Jumpstreet, aka Johnny Depp’s first serious gig? I am!!!

I suggest you go watch it...

Aside from drooling all over the computer screen, I did visit a friend from high school who currently attends Barnard College all the way on the Upper West Side.

We had a delicious and cheap meal at Tom’s Diner, the restaurant where the Seinfeld characters always eat. I highly recommend it J

In other news, I plan on attempting to at least see some small political shows at the Public Theater or partake in Merchant of Venice’s lottery to see Al Pacino be, well, fabulous.

I hope to do that soon, but the month of November just seems to be so busy and I have so much to do!

I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving and eating “heaven,” meaning mashed potatoes and turkey, but also seeing my friends from home and hearing about their college experience, and visiting my high school and seeing their annual production of The Nutcracker.

My favorite part of the park

Yea, I’m really getting into the holiday spirit this season.

I think just living in the city gets you really into the holiday season, and right now I’m head-over-heels with the fall weather and the trees. 

Central Park has never looked more beautiful.

Which reminds me, I could actually use a cup of hot chocolate right about now as I curl up to The Colossus of New York by Colson Whitehead…
