Were you counting?

DIY vest

Spent a good afternoon with a couple of friends. 

Something I'm pondering about: 

Don't we usually want time to go slower when we're having fun? Sometimes, we even say foolish things like "I wish I could stop time right now". But we want to spend it with those who matter and when we spend it with those who matter, time passes so fast. Do you get what I'm trying to get across? So what's the solution?  Do you know that feeling when you're trying to sort out a chain of thoughts, and you find yourself going full circle. Or worse, you realize your brain is so scattered, you can't even go back to the beginning of your train of thought? Anyways, my apologies for an incoherent post. I've always felt the dilemma of wanting to express everything that comes to my mind, but am sometimes afraid of what others might think. IE. why are the thoughts in this girls head so jumbled up? (Obviously voicing out everything that comes to my mind is an entire problem by itself.) Does anyone else feel that way?! Or is it just me...

Good day, 

XO,

An Influx of Photos

Because a picture is really worth more than a thousand words. Take a peep into my short photo diary.

Apartment hunting in the big apple.

The feeling of being so relaxed at home is so wonderful..especially after such a tiring week of apartment hunting in New York. Preparing to start school next month in NYC is definitely not an easy job. Preparing myself for this move is going to be quite strenous. Spending a week in the big apple with my cousin, looking for a place to live next year, has definitely helped me with this transition though (and getting a free piece of melting cake at Little Brown after a long rainy day of apt hunting didn't hurt). I'm so glad I was able to have this week to familiarize myself with the various parts of the city. I'm far from being a local but I'm glad I have some things down; more specifically, about 1/5 of the subway map maybe?

We spent a little less than a week there and every single day was spent looking at places! We slept late and woke up early (searching online for new listings every night and morning). The worst was that we had to take the subway and walk to each listing with the agents! It was hard for me to get used to that because it's such a different system compared to Toronto. After the first day though, I got completely used to it. If I caught on any slower, I would only be left in the dust in such a fast-paced city! Funny thing: my cousin and I both got week-ulimited metrocards, and the day after she lost hers (the second day of our trip), I lost mine too (we both had to buy new ones). We were left with no time to shop, but we did manage to eat at places we haven't eaten at before. The next time I go back, I'll be starting school! EEEEEK, super nervous...so much to prepare....

XO,
