Thesis time is bringing out the DIY in all of us. Do-it-yourself or nothing will get done.

Just getting the daily dose of Vitamin D in a walk through Washington Square Park. Looks like spring with the blue skies,but NY is still fighting off that cold chill.

Three random, but somewhat planned things happened today. Started of going to the event, Photography Expanded at the Aperture Gallery in Chelsea, then left to take an unplanned but relaxing walk on the Highline with my people. Lastly, thought I missed the painting session we were having for our thesis show, but turns out I made it just on time for some touch ups and then clean ups. Everyone needs to do their share!

Finally a warm day in NY! Going to class with just a light jacket on never felt better. I also spent some time in evening with Charlie, the golden doodle on the UWS–nothing like a peppy pup to end the rough week.

One dinner down, many more to go. Today was the first night I held a dinner for my thesis with my close friend Marisa. We met on the first day of grad school, and since then have survived two hurricanes (one being a little more serious than the other), an earthquake, a trip back to her home in Boston, many fun times, and most importantly, MFADT. Marisa has become more than just a friend, but family. I was happy to share this Panera Bread meal with her, has a lot of meaning to us because it’s our go-to meal, and apparently the same for her family at home!

Taking a break from thesis–just to eat lunch. Eataly sandwiches and sharing Shake Shack ice cream made it a perfect afternoon lunch in the sun at Madison Square Park. Just when I thought I settled my sweet tooth for the day, an apple pie present from the Little Pie Company came my way. Looked too good to resist a small bite but saving the rest for tomorrow.
