My Blog?

My Name is Susie, I'm 17 years of age and live in the lively city of Portland, hence the name. I'm brand new to the world of blogging so let's give it a go. I'll try to write about what I know which is dance, style, music, being young, and the terrible world which is high school. Stay tuned and maybe I'll catch your fancy.

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!

  1. Being a student is one of the happiest and the most memorable stage in a person's life. What we have become now is most likely because of what we were when we're still studying. Hardships and trials may occur, but there are still delightful memories that we're going to treasure. Just enjoy being a student, and enjoy life to the fullest!
