Having a successful day in my favorite neighborhood in Manhattan, we returned to the dorms with 5 minutes to spare for curfew.

Now back to buisness, I apologize loyal readers (the few of you there may be,) for not writing as often as I promised! I've simply had no time to blog since I've been here and only now discovered the glorious wifi passcodes to my room. The first week with Joffrey zoomed by faster then I could blink, and looking back it seems like forever ago. A side from dancing 7 hours of the day I've been occuping my time by discovering the many different neighborhoods of Manhatten. For example, the dorms are located in the upper west side, were I spend a great deal of time groccery shopping or eating out. Every day I'm in greenwich village, where Joffrey and Tisch are located. When I'm not in the studios I love to walk through the village, visiting an assortment of little cafes or vintage stores. And on the weekends, I'm all over the city, my favorite areas would be soho, where I've found the best shopping in the city to be. On my last outing to soho we started out discourged by the beautiful but very pricey boutiques. Luckily, we came across amazing deals and, (angelic music) topshop. My haul that day included, a free people ballerina dress (originally $120- marked down to $35), a floral printed denim jacket from topshop, (orignally $90, marked down to $18), and anna sui graphic tee shirts for only $20! It was indeed a successful first saturday. Above are some photos of my dorms and soho, but there are more to come I swear!

Summer Concerts/ Music Festivals
This summer I have the luxury of being in both Portland and New York which means, more music! And good music at that. As shameful as it is, I must confess that last summer my taste in music was er...questionable and I didn't quite grasp too many opportunities to experience good music. But this summer will be different! While still super busy I have saved time for some kick-ass concerts/ festivals.
And as for some of those miscellaneous activities you will find me doing this summer and those of which I recommend you experience as well include:
Happy Summer!

Wishing you a happy summer,
