Today was lovely. Went to a 10 AM meeting, then went to school and worked on some papers, then went to Dean and Deluca to get the cookie that I had been thinking about since Friday but they didn’t have it so I went with the triple chocolate chip cookie and a peanut butter chocolate cupcake. Amazeballs. I enjoyed my treats on a bench in front of The Met. Gah, so nice, so typical NYC, I am so blessed to live here. I ventured into the museum in hopes that the Prada exhibit would be open (my way of making up for missing last years McQueen exhibit) but the exhibit won’t be open to the public until the 10th, sorry Victoria. So I walked around for an hour exploring the European wings, drooling over some Faberge eggs, French furniture, and my favorite thing, and embroidery that was done by Marie Antoinette herself. The museum closed at 5:30 so I had to bounce. I walked back to my dorm and took pictures of appartments and shop windows. After walking around taking random photos, I went to my dorm room and did something that I never do; sat on my bed and just vegged. After listening to Skinny Love thirteen times Margo came down and we went to Shake Shack. Yummmm! Of course we ended our day with a cigarette outside, something that has become apart of our daily ritual. I love meeting up with her every night talking about what our weekends were like, and what we had accomplished that day. I love days like today, they are very rare. I need to explore my city more, there are so many things to do here! 

This is a rarity. I can only think of about four other times this semester that I have sat in my bed doing nothing, just listening to music, looking at pictures of gardens, and letting the pretty light peek in through the curtains. This is my favorite time of day, just before the sun is about to set, sending a soft haze of lazy sun on the towering buildings around me. The colors are light blue, grey, with a hint of peach. Bon Iver is serenading me with “Skinny Love” which of course is making this moment much more dreamy. It’s moment like these that I wish would last forever. My eyes feel heavy because this is the perfect amount of light, and I can feel myself grinning, I really can’t explain my current state of being. It’s nice though, I feel relaxed, and my thoughts aren’t racing. I like times like these, when I have 5 minutes to just rest. I have been so busy this semester, I feel as if I never have even a second to unwind. Today was a nice day. I feel relaxed.
