Better late than never right? Here’s a quick time-lapse video of the cooler I created for Dave’s White Rose formal. Enjoy!

‘Twas the night before NYU, and all through the college,
Not a person was sleeping, ‘cuz they had no parents to acknowledge.
Most were quite tired, but no one went to bed,
For visions of clubbing and Electric Zoo were still in their head.
In my room, I was cooking and digesting,
While my poor tired legs yearned to be resting.
‘Twas the night before my second year, and all through the hall,
Not a kid was found excited for the academic fall.
For New York is a city, too diverse to describe,
And the city is a place that gives off a pretty cool vibe.
Yep – that is/was my only attempt at publishing poetry. Take it for what it is but you can probably tell I’m really excited for school since I only have one class, which is pretty nice.
Anyways back to business… Besides the Yankees (76-58) falling deeper into a slump and the Padres (62-73) recovering from their less than impressive first half of the season, the past couple of days have been pretty normal. My days have lulled away with soccer, reuniting with old pals and taking naps without fear of sleeping through class. Our team has transitioned from the two sessions a day to just one and have already competed in one game against Stevens. Although we lost, it was a very useful game because it really helps us analyze what we did wrong and what we can work on as a group and as individuals.
It’s 11:30 I have to catch the subway to class early tomorrow (hello 8AMs on 42nd St! Say What?) so I’m off to bed!
Until next time! And Happy first day of school everybody 🙂
Whenever people ask where I’m from, I always have to pause, take a deep breath, and then explain that home is where I’m at, not where I’m from, nor where I went to high school, or even where I was born. Growing up in the military, our go-to saying was “Home Is Where the Navy Sends You” – simply said and eloquently put, it’s true. And even though I’m currently from San Diego, I take pride in going to school in New York City. I’m in love with everything about it: the crazy people, the $1 pizza on the way home from a late water polo practice and the wackiness that is bound to be around each and every corner.
It’s not everyday that I’m reminded of why I love New York City, but while using Pinterest (my new found obsession) I somehow stumbled upon this video time lapse of the Big Apple. It truly does capture the essence of the city – the hustle and bustle, the sleeplessness, and beauty all around despite the concrete everywhere. I can only hope that my photography makes half of an impact on its viewers as Cameron Michael’s video did on me.
I still miss New York each and every day but am so excited to be back in the city – only 34 days and counting. In the meantime, here’s my five most favorite but most often overlooked things about New York (in no particular order).
