4 years

Last night was the annual Parsons Benefit Gala where the seniors got to celebrate and honor fashion icons Francisco Costa (Calvin Klein designer), Tom Murray (CEO of CK), and Cathy Horyn (NY Times fashion writer).

I had a great time hanging out with friends (: It was 4 tough years but I'm glad I stuck with it.

It's over and it seems like I have a lot to forward to.

(:

oh, the nerves...I'm totally feeling them

I am presenting my senior thesis collection tomorrow morning. 10:30 am est.
One year of work comes down to a 10 minute presentation.

Here I go.

something about balloons make me so happy

I can't wait to watch Up this summer. It looks like a winner.

My mom just got into the city today (: we're gonna do what we do best and shop tomorrow...it is how we get prime mother-daughter time.

Also....there is approximately 35 1/2 hours left until my presentation...I just can't wait for it to be done.

I am absolutely smitten over Misha Lulu's Spring 2009 collection.





I discovered her when I was working at a Jumping Jelly last summer and have been pretty obsessed since, but this collection is absolutely darling.

alone but not lonely

During my 4 years in the city, I was never able to get completely plugged into a church. I am slightly disappointed in myself and I have to admit that I made excuses as to why I couldn't go to small groups or make time to go to church events. Although I regularly went to and continue to attend church on Sundays and occasionally read through some devotional books, my walk isn't where it should be and lately I've really been longing for something more.

I now know how important it is to belong to a community, a group of people who have the same faith.

Not sure where I'm going with this...I guess it's just one of the things that I regret and have definitely learned from.

I follow this blog titled 'cakies' and she recently posted this. It really made me happy and it might make you smile too.

Golden Rule

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

It's referred to as a 'golden rule' for a reason and I think often times, it's completely overlooked or totally shrugged off. Lately I've been very conscious of this saying and have been trying to live by it, although of course not 100% of the time (it's hard).

But being kind and offering a hand is one thing, but what do you do when your hand becomes a doormat? Are you supposed to just stop and be selfish, or shrug it off and continue even when your actions and words aren't exactly reciprocated or appreciated? If you know me well, you know that this is and has always been a problem for me.

Well after a series of events I think I'm going to start figuring it all out, it'll get messy but I'm up for it.

....

On a lighter note (: I'm going to be handing in all of my garments on Thursday.
woo hoooo!!

I also bought a one-way ticket back to California for only 99$ what a deal. I'll be back home at 9:56 pm on June 2.
