It's been an interesting few weeks.
It began with a trip to California for a wedding, and to visit my family. To keep it short, it was nice to be there, but as I normally do, I felt an immense sense of excitement to be back in NYC.
The day after we returned, I was laid off.
Now, this should seem like something that would upset me more, but really it has been a tremendous relief. I disliked working there, disliked the increasingly toxic nature of the environment there, and disliked many of the people I came into contact with regularly.
I am now in a position to seek a new career path, as well as to watch the World Cup uninterrupted.
When we first moved here, I found myself becoming a little unhinged. With no job, I sat at home applying for positions for hours, leaving only to take the dog out and to go running. I am not making that mistake again.
I took a trip to the Met, ground zero, Roosevelt Island (via tramway), Tudor City, and Grand Central
This picture does not do justice to how large and impressive this painting is.
I find these places to be inspirational. Their architecture, their history, their significance - these things gave me a lot to think about. I saw a draft of the declaration of independence, an exhibition on children's books, spoke with protesters angry at the Chinese Communist Party, and discovered parts of the city I had never before been.
A field trip is always a good thing, I cannot recommend it enough.
