"love, true love" (ala Vizzini from The Princess Bride)


This is the one, and only picture (so far) that I have of me, and two of my best friends at NYU—Johnny and Stephen. Johnny had me at, "Does anyone know how to sew?? I ripped my pokemon pillow case!" and Stephen at, "heyy gurrrl." hehe. just kidding, but not really....I tend to exaggerate, but only if it enhances my story, which it ALWAYS does.

Anyway, these are my friends. They live in 1008-B, and they've adopted me as a third roomie, of sorts. I spend the majority (read: ALL) of my spare time in their room. I'm even considering making Stephen's side of the closet my second closet because he only has two shirts that need to be hung, while my clothes are spilling over onto Laura's (my real roommate) side of the closet. It's a major cause for concern. And my name is on their door, and the other day someone was looking for my room, and was all confused and he said he couldn't find it at first because my name wasn't on the door, just my two [evil] Korean suitemates.

Back to my friends. I love them dearly and would do anything in the entire world for them. I like to think the feeling's mutual, I'm pretty sure it is, at least I hope it is. We can pretend that it is until I confirm.

ahhh, those were the days

Ever since Thanksgiving Break, I've been reminiscing about my Cranbrook days. I mean, it's been a whole seven months!! Even though it's really cheesy and corny and trite, Cranbrook really did feel like my second home—I did go to school there for 13 years! Anyway, what I miss most is the physical beauty of the campus. Don't get me wrong, I love NY and NYU's non-traditional campus (as in, I consider Washington Square Park MY quad, regardless of it's public park status...), but I love NYU's non-traditional campus so much because I've already gone to school with handsome buildings, a quad, fountains here and there, throw in a few man make lakes, maybe a forest or two, all situated on an approximately 320 acre campus (according to wikipedia). 


Winter is my favorite season because I love snow! And this past week, there was a blizzard in the mid-west, with 13 inches of snow! That's when Cranbrook looks its best, in my opinion. I've conveniently found some pics for you to peruse as we marvel over Cranbrook's beauty together!





oriental gardens





random waterfall where the grad students frequently do art installations





Cranbrook House—my mumma works there!





Triton fountain/back of art academy





Christ Church Cranbrook





the quad at night! except they're still renovating, so it doesn't look this good at the moment





Cranbrook Dining Hall aka. the Great Hall from Harry Potter








Kingswood lake!


I shall sift through my pics in the near future to further promote your Cranbrook education. As for now, I must mentally prepare myself to go to work. And I must finish my wte draft in the near future. I did however do my media studies worksheets this morning, so that's a plus.... all I need to do is learn the terms. All six pages of them.


Off to 1008-B for a quick chat, then Uniqlo for the night.
