Hi! everything is great over here. just alot of classes and homework and laundry haha. we make our own fun in between all of the crazieness! but on our budgets its never anything too crazy! I have been to alot of art exibits (mostly for classes but still free and fun) and alot of parks (washington square park is really close and great for when i have to read a gazillion pages for art history. there is a pretty fountain which i like to sit by). The Union square market has become my favorite place! its the largest open air market in new york and it is like a block from where i live. they have millions of tents all filled with amazing fruit and vegtables and baked goods and cheese and meat and yarn and art and one of a kind screen printed t-shirts and jewelry and jam and honey and about everything you think of and it is everyweekend and some weekdays. everything is soo good and soo cheap and they give free samples. the apples arnt as good as back home but they are wayyy better (and cheaper) than anything store bought apples and the vegetables are soo good and they all go great with my newest obsession Hummus :) i could literally eat it every meal and would probly give up meat for it haha. we do a bit of cooking here too as i have mentioned before. some baking, cookies, cakes, we have done pancakes a couple times. we made lasanga the other day and it came out good. we used ground turkey, whole wheat noodles, lowfat sauces and cheese and it was actually really tasty! we also made cool whip ice cream sandwiches which is cool whip free and low fat gram crackers freezed together... verrryyy good!
This sunday was the 1 month aniversery of the day we moved in so thats why we made lasanga, to celebrate haha! its crazy that it has only been a month if feels like years! during the week we can never really go out so we have fun nights in! mondays we watch THe Hills on MTV and on Wedsdays we watch Gossip Girl and all the days in between we watch Sex and the City which we have almost finished all 6 seasons!! we always try to eat healthy, sean and me, but Sunday is kinda our cheat day. we usually either get bagels (cinn rasin with fat free cream cheese! delish), or pizza (there is this place called Pie near us that has really thin crust and sells their slices by the pound... very good!), we hit alot of 24 hr diners at odd times of the night (for coffee and egg white omlets with toast!) and we also just found a really good cheap chinese food with great dinner specials and delicious beef and brocolii! well even if we do 'splurge' we tend to still try to eat ok... haha its kinda out of habit.

The classes are good, hard but good. i like most of my teachers. my 3d teacher is a little too laidback for my taste (hes from california... we all blame his west coast roots) but it could be ALOT worse as i have heard from my fellow peers with horrible teachers. drawing is still my favorite. she is bringing it a friend of hers who works at diane von ferstenburg (famous fashion designer if you didnt know) and she is gonna come in sometime and look at all the fashion kids portfolios and maybe offer up some internships which would be exciting.when i get my camera back (any day now lets hope) i will take LOTS of pictures of my work. i have a couple though that i can post now.





The black and white pattern if for 2D, the watercolor skyline painting is for lab, and the rest are all 3D i think. i will explain them more later but i have class soon!! have an awesome day everyone :)
