Ok, so I kinda have an obsession for cities. Skyscrapers, people, sidewalks, parks, etc... I love it. This will most likely cause me to get a masters in community/urban planning, but I also wanna visit some of the major cities in the world, starting with the US first. So I look through photos at this website, skyscraperpage.com and I have basically been oohing and aahing over various locales and wanted to document the places I want to go. It's really fun to make lists! Here we go:

1.NYC of course
2. Chicago- Summertime Chi ahhhh, now throw your hands up in the sky!!!     
3. Atlanta- I have an affinity for southern cities which leads me to
4. Birmingham- I know, really it never crossed my mind but it looks very urban which was a surprise to me
5. Miami- I like tropical looking places, and cities on the water in general
6. L.A- I feel obligated to list this oneeven thought it seems really similar to Houston with the driving thing, but there is much to see there
7. San Francisco- the hills and the trolley things look so charming
8. Sacramento- saw pictures at night it looked so bright and metro
9. Seattle- where city and nature meet
10. Dallas- our rivals to the north
11. Phoenix- no reason why really, just always wanted to go?
12. Vegas- b/c its Vegas I guess
13. Greenville, SC- looks oh so inviting!
14. St. Louis- I hear the Mississippi connection built a bridge between the looks of this here one and the NO15. D.C- Our nation’s capital, why the very thought of leaving it off the list…

 

That’s all I can think of now, no telling when I'll actually be able to visit as I wont be cakin anytime soon. But for now I have pics and an imagination! World version will be next, I already know common ones such as London, Paris, Tokyo, somewhere in India, Capetown, Toronto, but I have done less research in the area..

Amazing, I was just reading through this thing, and I looked back to my entry after Katrina and how I did not want to leave Tulane because I would feel like I was giving up or missing out on something. And its true. I feel like that city has got me, simply took me. I am so glad that I stayed there and will be able to go there for one last year. All of the people and places I would have missed! God definitely places you where he wants you.

I think I have a phobia of roaches. Im sitting at my computer clearly minding my own business while I am reading my book and I catch something moving out of the corner of my eye. Cue the huge roach, I go to get my spray, which I got cheap not one of the best things to buy cheap, and spray at, then it decides to HOP in my closet. So it was probably a flying one. I see on the other end and spray it, then it disappears in the abyss. I start to remove clothes from my closet, and spray in the general direction it was in. As I am removing my pants (from the closet) with my gloves and converse on I see it at the bottom of my closet. I spray it until it turns white yet it STILL moved. Then the rage came forth from my anger of feeling like a hostage in my own room and I beat it with a slipper, even though I couldnt really get at it because its in the track of my closet. Nonetheless, I placed 2 slippers on top of it and tomorrow I will ask someone to throw it away for me. Seriously, I can't pick it up.  I thank God he allowed me to kill it before I went to bed though.
