A Quick Hello!

Hello friends,

I just wanted to write a quick post to let you all know that I’m alive. I apologize for not writing…I have little free time and my life is not very interesting. I had a lovely winter break from Columbia, spending almost two weeks in North Carolina. Mark and I looked at apartments, and if all works out as planned, I will move there this summer. Can’t beat paying $800 for a 900 square foot apartment with free access to a gym, year-round pool, clubhouse, business center, car wash, basketball court, racquetball court, etc. Gotta love the south! Now just have to wait and see if Mark gets into the PhD program!

In more current news, I am back in the full swing of things at Columbia. I have an internship in a school in Chelsea that I love, but my courses are considerably harder this semester. I also babysit all day on Thursdays, juggling a stroller and two kids under five around the city…I don’t know how people manage with kids here! Based on my schedule these past two weeks, I am anticipating not having much of a life this semester. Graduate school is still very different from Skidmore and I often long for the days of college life in Saratoga. However, as Tony posted, I know it would be different if I went back now. I do love the city, and it will be hard for me to leave in the summer…I don’t know what I’ll do without all of the great shopping and farmer’s markets.

So that’s my life…so interesting and thrilling, huh?

In an attempt to make this post more exciting, please enjoy the following pictures of treats from Chelsea Market (my new favorite food place!)




Love and miss you all! Please come visit soon!

Hooray! So glad you're still alive :) And hooray for Obama cookies, haha!

So glad you're enjoying New York, and even more exciting for getting settled after graduation. Your potential apartment sounds amazing! Fabulous.
