Blog 9-Student Show
This past Friday, our student art show opened in the NYCAMS gallery space. My parents came out for the occasion on Thursday.
Thursday night, we went to see the play "The Screwtape Letters", based on the book by C. S. Lewis. It was an hour and a half long and was very good.
Wednesday I was able to wear a t-shirt around, but out of the blue Thursday got cold. You can see in this picture that Mom and I are trying stay warm while dad fiddles with the camera.
That afternoon we went to see "The Phantom of the Opera" at The Majestic on Broadway. It was absolutely amazing. I like the movie, but this was better. We sat right underneath the chandelier, so it was pretty exciting when it came swinging down. Here we are in front of the theater after the show.

Friday I spent the majority of the day preparing for my show that evening and working on things for my final on Monday. At 5:00 pm, the opening started with a reception for the parents to provide an opportunity for them to talk to the faculty. At 6:00 pm, the show was open to the public. Below are images of the two works that I had in the show. All of my work that I made this semester deals with the migraines that I battled.
In this bottom one, the body is melting into a puddle.
My aunt Karen and cousins Dan, Malorie, and Isabel came from their home in Connecticut to see the show. It was very exciting to see them. Denise Green, the artist that I interned with this semseter, also came to see the show. This is an image of us by one of my works.
Jesse wasn't able to make it out again for the opening, so he bought me that beautiful dress and and the jewelry I'm wearing.
On Saturday, my dad went with them to the Museum of Modern Art. I had to go to the studio to prepare for my final on Monday, so I didn't get to go with. Here is a picture of them in front of a Monet.

I will be finishing up my internship today (Tuesday) through Thursday. Friday I have my last class and the farewell banquet. Saturday and Sunday I plan to finish packing all of my stuff and shipping it home. And finally, Sunday, I return home to Minnesota for good!
Thank you all for your prayers this semsester. Please continue to pray that I won't get any migraines in the next couple days so that I can finish my internship successfully.

Blog 8- Thanksgiving
I went home to the beautiful snowy Minnesota for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, my camera battery was dead, so this will be an image-less blog. :(
Lydia picked me up at the airport the evening of November 23. We went shopping for a few hours so that I could say hello to Jesse when he got home from work. Below are the highlights of the six days I was home:
I gave Lydia a haircut and purple and pink highlights. It looks really nice, but not too extreme.
Jesse and I had Thanksgiving lunch at his aunt's house on Thursday, and then made Thanksgiving lunch for my parents and Lydia on Friday.
Jesse went to Target on Black Friday at 3am to get an XBox 360. The only problem is that when I get home we'll probably be up everynight playing Halo or Call of Duty. Suprisingly, I really like those first-person shooter games.
A personal favourite: Jesse took me to Pizza Hut for lunch. They don't deliver to my apartment here in NY and since they are my favourite pizza place, I was really craving them.
Beyond the highlights, Jesse's parents and his siblings celebrated in International Falls at his sister's house, so apart from a "hello-goodbye" with his parents, I didn't get to see any of them.
Ultimately, it was a very good trip. It's unbearably warm here in NY (I don't even need a coat yet), so I was very very happy to be back up north.

Blog 7-Catch Up
So it's been a long time since my last update. Since I last wrote, I went home to Minnesota and celebrated my nephew Andrew's fifth birthday with him. That was the first weekend in October.
Later in October, Jesse came to visit me again for a few days. We saw the outside of the Yankees Stadium (tours apparently don't start until November) and ate at the Deli frequently featured on David Letterman. We also went to Pop Tarts World.
The most recent event was of course Halloween. I dressed up as Thing 2 from The Cat In The Hat. I like even numbers, which is why I wasn't Thing 1. I stayed home to hand out candy rather than going out with my friends, but we didn't have any trick-or-treaters. I was ok with that, because it meant that I got to eat all the Almond Joys myself!

Blog 6- Jesse's Visit
Jesse visited me September 10-12. It has been a very busy week, so I'm only now getting this online.
On Friday I picked Jesse up at the airport around 2:00pm. We checked into his hotel, and then I took him to see my apartment and studio space. Below is a picture of the Empire State Building as seen from my studio window. We ordered Chinese food for supper, which we ate in my apartment. We went to bed early that night, since Jesse was exhausted from the travel.

Saturday we went to Central Park. We took a walk and had a hot dog for lunch. We walked from there along Broadway to Times Square. We visited souvenir shops and enjoyed eachother's company. Jesse was able to see the home of David Letterman's Late Show, which he was very excited about. For second lunch (one hot dog isn't too filling), we went to an Irish pub/restaurant called The Playwright and had the most amazing hamburgers. The burgers were juicy, the bun was toasted, and EVERY french fry was crispy. I highly recommend Irish Pubs for hamburgers, as I had an amazing hamburger at another one when I was here for spring break. This was September 11, and a Saturday, so Times Square was packed. We hurried through it because I had a migraine, and it was too busy for us. Our personal bubbles are too large for crowds. ;) Since I had a migraine, we laid low the rest of that afternoon and evening. I took a nap, and then we ordered pizza in and watched the 1970s version of King Kong.
Sunday was Jesse's last day here. We visited the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) so that I could show him some of the famous artwork that was there. I had just discovered this on a field trip on Friday before Jesse arrived. Lunch was at Mickey Mantle's Restaurant & Bar. The food was good, and Jesse got a chance to see some of the football games, since it was opening Sunday. We went to the roof of my building to look around at the city a bit, and then we headed off to the airport. Unfortunately, Jesse's flight was delayed several times, so instead of arriving back in Minnesota at 9:30 pm, he didn't get in until after 3 am Monday morning. We were disappointed that we could have spend more time together, but we were also glad that Jesse made it back.

Blog 5- Internet!
On Tuesday, we finally got our internet in our apartment working. The cable company was supposed to come three times previously to install it, but they only finally made it on Tuesday. My roomates and I are ecstatic that we don't have to lug our computers downstairs or to the studio to use the internet anymore.
I've been desperately needing to go to the grocery store lately (I have oatmeal and Pringles, and not much else) but haven't had time yet. I am so tired by the time that I get back to my apartment that I can't bring myself to go out. I'm hoping that I'll finally get around to it this weekend when Jesse is visiting me. I am so excited to see him again I'm about ready to pop :).
