don't worry, i won't forget. | | |
| yesterday was one of those days i dont want to forget. given my
relatively small amount of schoolwork, i decided to take a day off of
work and worry and just enjoy myself.
i ended up waking up late and having a lazy morning. between work
and school, they are few and far between. fielded random phone
calls for at least an hour and then got out of bed and went to our fave
brunch place, sunburst on 18th and 3rd. Compared to other brunch
places, it's nothing special, but we have a special affinity for
it. Shopped and had a recordbreaking day in lunch
purchases.
In the afternoon we met Mike at Bryant Park and went iceskating.
Even though it was 70 degrees, the ice was still intact, albeit a
tad...wet. good, though, for not creating track lines. my
skating was better than I remember and I thoroughly enjoyed it---to the
point that I may pick up a pair of used skates and go often, since it's
free if you own your own skates. maybe go at lunch on
fridays...it'd be novel, for sure.
enjoyable dinner at sapporo with mike afterwards...will keep it in mind
for work lunch since it's cheap and all over 2 minutes from the
office. afterwards, we walked through times square and took
"make-fun-of-tourist" photos. Mike had also taken a bunch of
photos at the rink, and there are a few that I think will turn out
really well. i am tres excited.
because it was in the high sixties and november, we decided to walk
home from times square. along the way we stopped at a diner and
got a cup of coffee and then made our way home through the part of nyc
that has no name....and is sort of a strange neighborhood.
totally abandoned no-mans land.
er made his way to a bar to watch some football game, and I stayed at
the apt for a while and then took a walk. Walked around the West
Village alone for about an hour and 15 minutes, just meandering and
wandering. It was a really nice walk and way to clear my
head. Tons of people were out and being alone and underdressed,
it lent a nice sense of detachment to my walk, which I wanted.
Oogled the townhouses and the glimpses of the insides I could
get. Ended up at Washington Sq. watching an impromptu concert of
older hippies who still gather in the center to play random
songs. It was awesome and everyone started singing along.
I wish I had more days like today.
Today's agenda is study for the rest of the day. Maybe gym if I
feel up to it, but I figure I start all over again tomorrow and it's
best not to push myself. Even though I didn't go yesterday,
between ice skating and all the walking, I remained pretty
active. Probably even better for me.
I need to do my visa stuff. Bad.
I'm also looking forward to Thanksgiving. My last real
break. I wish I had a meaningful winter break, but I know I have
a once in a lifetime chance to do what I'm about to do. So, yeah.

| still bejiggity.
have kind of reached a turning point in getting older...a quarter life
crisis of sorts. i feel like i have to define more what i want
and who i am at this point and stop delaying it a bit.
on the whole, im happy. ive gained a bit of weight, but ive had
fun doing it...and as much as i would like to lose it plus the rest of
my goal, itll happen in time, despite my constant anxiety about it.
i enjoy my workouts, i just wish i had a bit more downtime for
myself...and for those who i wish to spend it with. its a rough
schedule, and im only getting more scared.
im not a huge fan of my classes--but theyre required. overly
didactic...overly mathematical...theres no college creativity or
expression in them, but it could be a lot worse.
its been an up and down semester, and i know itll be hard to leave at
the end of it, but its probably best for me to spend some time out of
new york and out of this life ive carved for myself and gotten
comfortable with. itll be nice to explore me again.
at any rate, im riding out the bejiggity wave as much as i can.
