| wednesday, day 10
Museum of Modern Art.
it was so cool! earlier in class we had seen slides of the artwork and the prof. talked about the history and context of the art and artist. i enjoyed it. i appreciate art for its aesthetic value and how it speaks to me--i dont really know how to define "art" but art is more than just looking at a painting, but it's understanding the meaning and message that a person is trying to portray. like one artist just bought a shovel from the store and signed it. He called that art, and its now in MoMA. but if that shovel can tell a story just by being there, then it can be considered art. --i dont really get it, maybe an artist should explain what art is.

thursday, day 11
jennie cameee! we spent the day at the brooklyn museum with her friends. the temporary murakami exhibit was tiiiiight. hes the dude the collaborated with LV for the crazy colored monogram bag and the other animated designs. but hes kind of perverted. i couldnt take any pictures of his art, but you should look it up. i also had chicken and rice! it was pretty good. at the time i didn't realize how greasy it was until later, but i only finished like half. but i highly recommend it.
friday, day 12
i woke up at 3pm, chilled in the lounge. we went out to eat pho. it wasnt bad. i cant believe i like pho, but i do. a lot. this restaurant was like all asian people! very weird..manhattan does not have a lot of asians it seems, esp near nyu..i wonder why. anyway.. its raining here so i didn't really feel like going out. i wanted to watch them on top of the empire state building. that would have been tiiiiight, but it costs $175 IF you can get tickets..(only 150 ppl are permitted). i will visit you soon empire state building! happy 4th everyone!

| day ATE.
well, as days go by, i become more lazy and boring. boo me. today we had class as usual, then we went to the NY Times building! (40th and 8th) The building was all spiffy, nice and clean. and there was this cool wall at the enterance of like..tiny screens that all said random stuff. Just the building made me want to work there. but as the tour guide--the editor of the City section was talking about the newspaper, i thought of how fun being a writer could be. i would pursue journalism if i could write well, or if i enjoyed reading. ha. thennnnnn nina and i went to union square to shop. there happened to be a farmers market type deal, so we walked around and looked at all the booths. each vendor had their own genre of items, and it seemed to represent their own thoughts and referenced cultural roots. inside the park had people just chillin on the lawn, enjoying the day. ny gives a lot of space to sit and relax. even though these parks are all man made and theyre in random spaces within the city, its a little block of sanity in a hectic place. i wish cali had some more parks..but we have the beach so s'all good! i miss cali. TULARE--even though you are hot and stinky, i miss you.

| day seven.
wowwww i have been here a whole week! time flies. today i woke up late, went to eat at cosi's with nina and carol. it was alright, we said it was the corner bakery of new york. we were gonna go to soho but because it randomly started pouring we just came back. then some of us wanted to go to redeemer church to hear tim keller..but we werent able to :( well, we tried! we walked out towards the subway station, only to realize that there was a GAY parade. not gay as in stupid, but gay as in..lesbian gay. so there were rainbows and same gender action going on everywhereeeee. the streets were blocked off, and there were hundreds of people. inconveniently, our subway entrance was across one street that the parade was going through. we waited like 20 minutes but noone moved. with defeat, we came home, ate dunkin donuts and played monopoly. monopoly is fun!! winning is fun, losing makes you want to quit. i guess thats what being poor/rich feels like. i was poor and bankrupt most of the time. lol.
i havent gone to church in 2 weeks. tsk. i feel bad but not. i guess thats how i feel about God right now. just lukewarm. i kinda feel bad, kinda not. Revelation 3:15-16--15. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16. So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. what type of life is that?? ...of mediocrity, indecisiveness, apathy. everyday should be more challenging, passionate, joyful than the last. to know God more should equate to a deeper intrigue of the depths of his grace, mercy and love. do i know himmmm? ahh. keep actively seeking elizabeth!

| day 6.
yesterdayyyy..i went to the beach! pt pleasant in jersey. i went with my friend jennie's friends on a 2+ hour train ride. the weather was nice when we got there, but by the end of the day it started raining. i ate a fried oreo. they are good. it seems like you can fry anything. fried food tastes good. but yeah, eating and chatting at the beach with jennie was fun. i was the only one that got burnt, my shoulders and face. i burn so easily, but im always pale cus i dont like the sun. pale is in. anyway, we got back to nyc in the evening and ate gahm mi oak in new york's k-town--its not really a town, its a..block or block and a half. but that sul long tang place was pretty good, considering everyone told me that food here wouldn't be like that in la. which is probably true, but i thought it was the same. yeaaah. that was my adventure today. right now its noon on sunday, and we didnt wake up for church. oooooooops. maybe we'll go to a later service. anyone know of any smaller churches in ny? mega churches scare me. i cant handle hundreds/thousands of ppl. i still havent gotten good internet yet. sorrrry if you want to see pictures, look at nina's facebook album! lol. | | |
