the polar bear decided to go for a swim and it looked way awesome.

so graceful underwater. amazing that such a big guy could float so easily in the water.

this guy would not stop circling the pool the entire time.

snow monkeys!

20 more days

It will be 20 more days of living in the city. I will miss it yet I will not. I will miss being able to get around everywhere. Riding in the city, weaving in and out of cars, wondering if some cab driver isn't paying attention, but the thrill of that making it that more exciting. Missing the fact that there is always something going on, no matter what time of the night. Having the best food and art at my finger tips. This whole year all I have cared about is improving my artwork cause I felt it was at this stand still last year. It's great to feel that I have done so much better quality work that I was totally into this year. It wasn't projects that I was just given so I knew how to do it. No I did what I wanted to do this year. The days are winding down and its going by very fast. The next couple of weeks will be a lot of fun, hard work, no sleep, and sense of accomplishment, sadness and happiness. 

It is my time to leave though. I don't know if I could ever totally live in the city and feel settled because I always have the want to go back to New Jersey no matter what. As much as I will miss new york I have so many things to look forward to after this semester ends. I have the greatest friends, the greatest family, and the greatest new boyfriend, and those are all back here, and not there. 

New York city your a hell of a town, you'll always be in my heart, but new jersey took it first.

i can't ever stop missing

So I didn't get much sleep last night. I kept having dreams where my dog Valentine was in them. This happens every few monthes, and I always wake up upset missing her even more than before and then the entire day I'm on the verge of tears thinking about her. It has been a little over 2 years now since we had to put her down and its still so hard when I come home and expect to see her when I walk in the door. 

But in good news we are watching Riley this weekend which is really the next best thing, because he is awesome. He's huge and is like a bear.

my portfolio

my portfolio is completely laid out now. all i have to do is finish a few projects and just place them where they need to go. a preview of the feel of it with the cover i drew up for today. working on the table of contents for later. 

lots of good good things.

this weekend was another great weekend and very eventful. friday i got tattooed and seriously it just gets easier each and every time. i can stand the pain better and probably could have gone for another hour on top of the other one. tom met up with me and we got fallafel from maozzz, and then started to watch hot fuzz when we had to go to the hospital cause he knew he had a kidney stone.

ive probably never laughed so much while in the ER. we saw a ton of drunk people, especially this asian girl who puked all over herself when she got in and proceeded to curl up into a little ball like an anime character and almost fall off the bed. another dude got hit by a car and then another guy was just totally covered in blood. needless to say very entertaining. we left there about 3am haha. 

countdown till school is done: 28 days

ADC show

so the adc show was on tuesday and it was really awesome to see everything and have my video in it. there was a ton of people and they served a lot of food and the best part coke in glass bottles.  i had 2 bottles of coke and then shared half of one of those 5 hour energy drinks with elana. needless to say i was up for a while and woke up with my heart pounding. never again!
