New York City @ MindSay

With our move right around the corner, I can't help but to think of our safety in New York. Neither my son nor myself have ever truly experienced city life. You can visit a place and never really get the feel you would if you lived there. We will be in Queens for the first month or two, then moving into our new apartment in the Bronx. I know that Queens, the area we will be in, is rougher than the area of the Bronx where we will be later. I know that my son loves people and talking to them a lot. It is going to be hard for him to realize he can't just run around saying hello to people there. New York is the place where you can't look too long in a person's direction because you might get beaten or shot. I am tempted to look into life insurance rates  so I canget a hefty  sized policy before we go. Sad, right? I drive by grass and trees and start crying. I know there are hardly any in New York City areas. *sigh*

I AM A MESS

I only have to survive two more weeks...

But there's sooooo much to dooooo.

This goddamn Ivy League education had better be worth it.

 

Due Wednesday the 30th: 20-page paper about whiteness and the Rwandan genocide for Ethnic Conflict and Unrest

Due Friday the 2nd: 20-page paper for Social Entrepreneurship (haven't even picked a topic)

Due Thursday the 8th: 20-page paper for Theorizing Civic Engagement (still need 3 more interviews)

Due Monday the 12th: 20-page paper for Agricultural and Urban Land Use (already wrote a 10-page rough draft, but it needs lots of work)

 

AGGGGGGG

THE END.

 

1. The lead singer of the New Pornographers. An AMAZING concert.
2. Emily outside of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
3. Emily and I at the Met with Anna and Sigourney, two of the girls from my ELP group.
4. The dinner party that Emily and I hosted.
5. Porcupine cake! This was honestly the best dessert ever. So friggin good.
6. Playing Apples to Apples. Only the best. game. EVER!
7. At the MMs store. Just so many small candy-covered chocolates. Just so many.
8. Fulfilling childhood dreams at the American Girl Place. I had to sneer at lots of little children in order to get them out of the way so Emily could take this picture.
9. Again, at the American Girl Place. Really, just too much excitement.
10. Outside of the Eugene O'Neill Theatre, where we saw Spring Awakening. Which was AWESOME.
11. At the Pumpkin Festival in Central Park. We are really adorable.
12. Again, at Pumpkin Fest. It was all to raise money for children with life-threatening illnesses. They were trying to get as many people as possible to carve pumpkins. There were LOTS.
13. At the Imagine memorial at Strawberry Fields. Emily and I had a real adventure finding it. But it was totally worth it. We got lots of exercise and saw tons of Central Park!
14. Emily and I. What a wonderful weekend!

ps. Emily is alabasterfae. And she's awesome.
