Day 97: 6.18.2009
My Apartment Building
For once the inner courtyard door was open and I was able to peer up towards our top-floor kitchen window. It think they only open it when the elevator breaks down: it's the only other way into the basement.

That's Riverside Church in the distance again. The sky has stayed about that color since I moved here, with a few exceptions.

Boring, but now you know where we spend our time. Comfy chairs, eh?

Day 91: 6.12.2009
Randall's Island in the East River
We went on a class field trip for Ecology to see the Wetland Restoration Project on Randall's Island and we're old enough to not need permission slips, just to pay tuition at Columbia.
Daily Snap: Lobster Night
Day 90: 6.11.2009
My Apartment
Those two and their other friend were straight from Maine that day. Well, they got stuck in traffic on the way in, but there were worse things in life. Like the part where I dipped them in butter. Yum.
Friend (five minutes before she and her boyfriend arrive): Oh, do you have a really big pot?
Me: Well, I mean, yeah. How big? It wasn't big enough by any stretch, but we got creative. Most entertaining lobster-bake ever seen, said the Lobsterman boyfriend.

My Apartment
Thunderstorms woke me up all night and my new houseplant, too: pretty pink blossoms this morning.

Jim-Jim and Me
How could I not post this one, too? He wouldn't have made a good hamburger, don't worry.

Idlewild Park, Queens, NYC
Idlewild Park, Queens, NYCThat's Jim-Jim. The guy holding him is a local resident and kids' soccer coach who found Jim-Jim on the synthetic turf field that morning. They were keeping him in a tub next to the snack stand, but said they'd let him go later that day. We've got an Ecology Restoration Project and my group is focusing on migratory birds in Idlewild (next to JFK Airport), hence the visit.
Daily Snap: Rain
Day 84: 6.5.2009
La Salle St. and Broadway
I'm still working out how to best capture a rainy moment. Luckily there have been plenty of opportunites for practice (and very few for enjoying the outdoors). Tips?

Day 83: 6.4.2009
International Affairs Building Lounge
Hamilton Deli wasn't messing around with the amount of ham on their sandwiches. I guess that's appropriate, seeing how people call it "HamDeli." Didn't think it had anything to do with cold cuts, though.

Amsterdam and 120th
On my walk home from a long day at school, I realized I hadn't yet taken a photo. This blurry little pic is of the Appletree Market between school and home, bus stop and flower shop included. Night shots are hard.

That's what I see when I stick my head out my 6th floor window. You can see the tower of Riverside Church in the background.

Waiting for the M60, Amsterdam Avenue
It's back to New Mexico for the weekend for my dear friend's wedding. The rain told me I should leave New York anyway.
Daily Snap: I'm in!*
Day 75: 5.27.2009
My new room
*This was music to my ears and tired body after two bed-less nights. Home couldn't get any sweeter at this point. Couldn't get much smokier either, but that's beside the point.
Daily Snap: New Canyons
Day 74: 5.26.2009
Amsterdam Avenue, New York
Well, I've made it to New York. Got in last night with a few delays and had orientation today. This is a view from the top floor of our building at Columbia University. I think these will be the canyons I'll be calling home for the next year- quite different from the cactus-filled canyons of New Mexico, but hopefully just as lovely and full of adventure at every turn.
Daily Snap: Peach Blossom

Near White Rock Canyon
Near White Rock CanyonThis to me is a peach blossom. It's clearly on a cactus and not a peach tree, but it's the color that counts.

Our kitchen table, but only for a little while
She'll be my kid sister no matter how well she does (very well), no matter how proud of her we are (very proud), and no matter how far away she goes (medium far for now- to Berkeley!).
Congratulations, sister!

That would be my sister with the graduation present C gave her after dance class. Yup, a Prince Caspian poster. She swooned.
Daily Snap: Melting Pot
Day 69: 5.21.2009
Melting Pot, Albuquerque, NM
Considering I leave for New York in a few days, C and I went out for lovely fondue dinner at the Melting Pot. All that food was only dessert, which might be my favorite course. Cheesecake, chocolate, fruit, and powdered sugar tan lines? We rolled home oh-so-full, like the other times we've eaten there.
Daily Snap: Spring Meeting

Pajarito Mountain
Pajarito Mountain Ski Patrol's Spring Meeting and service awards were at the lodge. Congratulations on 35 years, Boyd! I've only got 34 to go.

Day 66: 5.18.2009
Potrillo Canyon Trail, White Rock
I ran by without my camera the other day and couldn't take a picture of the only bloom on all of the cacti around. Then I jogged by the next day (armed with my camera) and found so many, but still only on this particular cactus.

Front walk of our houseI helped Mom get these in before they left for a week and considered it my Mother's Day present to her. Too bad she was out of town on the actual holiday.
Moved!
Well, I'm technially moved now, but still in an adjustment period because of all of my SCHOOLWORK. Today will be a big push to catch up because it's now or never, really. Thanks for waiting, C!
