Caught in a sunshower...

Hello, it has been ages and ages since I last blogged but today was such a glorious New York day that I had to impart a bit of it to you all, my cyber-friends. (: This week has been amazing! My friend from high school, Josh, is in town from Chicago. He goes to DePaul University and he’s staying until Monday—so I get to play tourist for awhile! It’s been great! Let’s see, he even helped me study for my art history midterm Friday. Thursday night around 10 o’clock I thought, “CRAP! I have a midterm tomorrow!” So I studied, studied, studied four FOUR HOURS. Then I looked at my syllabus. My midterm is next Friday. Yay. So, I know a lot about art! Instead of having a midterm we went on a field trip to a printmaking studio near Times Square! It was SA-WEET! We, the class, collectively made a lithograph; I looooove lithography and I think I would love to do it forever. (: Good news. Also, today Josh and I went to Grand Central and checked out the New York Public Library. It’s BEAUTIFUL. Go! Both of them are amazingly gorgeous old, ornate, detailed, sculpted buildings from a time when people spent time getting things they wanted. After that we went to Jamba Juice and I got an orange juice (12 legit-ly juiced oranges), which I don’t typically like but it was delish, and took the Madison Ave bus to Central Park. It was so great. (: I can’t even explain it. We walked in and there’s people everywhere, but everyone is just relaxing and enjoying the 65 weather. There’s a clown guy juggling Beanie Babies and bowling balls and doing handstands, and people selling balloons and cotton candy. Little kids were playing everywhere and it was literally like a breath of fresh air. I just love seeing the humanity that you don’t really see when people are pushing past you on the sidewalks or squashing you in the subways. So we layed on a huge rock and listened to two little girls berate another one for stepping in CROCODILE RIVER! Haha. Cuties. After that we parted ways on account of Josh is going to hang out with his friend Emily and staying there tonight. I came back home and visited Jamie at work. I love how here, all of the restaurants have those glass sliding doors and can open up into a huge open-air restaurant. (: After visiting I came to the apartment and went running which was awesome—it was my first outside run of the year. Rah! I ran…[I’m calculating]…SEVENTY-TWO BLOCKS and FIFTEEN AVENUES! Wowzers, I a little bit amazing. :P Then I visited some more with Jamie at Pomme Cafe where she works and came home and stretched on my roof while watching the sunset over the skyline. Gah. It’s a beautiful life. I hope you guys have an awesome weekend! I’m going to meet Jamie for dessert tonight and then singing at church tomorrow. I hope the weather continues to delight me! Byby all!
