A Promise to Myself

This is me formally writing down that I will post something, anything, here once a week. I have two full days off from school a week, Monday and Wednesday, so expect to see me here on one of those days per week. In a city like New York, where I am going to school and living, I think I owe it to myself to share at least some aspect of my life with somebody. Even if nobody reads passed this sentence, that's fine, but then I owe it to myself to have a written record of the things that are happening in my life right now. College is not to be taken lightly, not the workload nor the social aspects, but I'm never going to have these same experiences ever again and so I'm going to need some external way to remember them... At least with my horrible memory. Right now I'm getting back into cooking for myself, I'd been relying on a friend for a while because I hadn't been feeling too well the week before school started, but I love cooking. So, in a few hours I'm heading out the door to go grocery shopping. I've also gotten a new phone, a smartphone this time, which has allowed me to get an Instagram and I've been very diligently (with one exception) taking at least two pictures a day. One in the morning and one at night; out the window of my friend's room because it has a much better view than mine. The nighttime pictures often look very similar, but it's the morning shots that make it very interesting - after the semester I think I'm going to continue this exercise from where ever it is I'm staying. I am already enjoying seeing the changes in the pictures, and it'll be interesting to see the changes when I go to Taiwan in the summer. That's right! I got Intermediate Mid on my speaking test for Chinese which means that I will be able to get funding to go to Taiwan in the summer, and I'm super excited.

Now, I'm going to get ready for the day and I'm going to leave you with two of the dinners that I made this weekend and am really proud of.
