I need to go off the map for awhile and focus on schoolwork more.

Nighttime

So needless to say, I've been quite busy with school. No complaints here though, I've been busy in the best way possible. It's amazing to compare my experience at NYU a year ago to my experience now. Last year I wanted to move back to DC and I hated my classes and felt stifled and uncomfortable. This year I settled in faster than I could've imagined: all of my classes are interesting and challenging, I am making time to volunteer, and I overall feel very content with life. I miss DC at times but overall I finally feel at home in New York City.

This Fall was my first semester in the School of Individualized Study, which I transferred into after I became endlessly frustrated with the photography limitations of the liberal arts school. So I'm designing my own curriculum with very few restrictions. Right now I'm taking a photography class in Tisch and it has already motivated me to improve so much.

More than ever I've found myself drawn to taking photographs at night... here are some from the past month or so:





Wonderful end-of-summer rooftop show in Brooklyn.

Holding onto summer...

My semester starts in a week and a half so I'm making the most of these last few days of summer. A few days a week a volunteer (donate! SanctuaryForFamilies.org) but the rest of the time I'm trying to fit in as much biking and hanging out on roofs as possible.



So Kacey moved into a cute apartment in the East Village and painted a wall in her living room the most fantastic color.









Temporary tattooed.

Soon I'll be back to writing papers and sitting through classes, which part of me is looking forward to. Part of me, however, is going to really miss carefree days and sleeping in until noon.
