Presenting a random assortment of moments of the past two months of my life:
In early December, I completed writing my master's thesis, packed up and said goodbye to my student life in Berkeley. I left California armed with a year and a half of incredible learning and memories, and the life-long friendships of many amazing individuals that I've been so fortunate to meet.
From San Francisco, Pocket Ninja and I made it to Philadelphia for a whirlwind visit;
From Philly, I hopped on a bus to the Empire State, city of my dreams. If I still had any doubts that my heart truly belongs to the east coast, it disappeared as soon as I stepped out of the bus and into the streets of New York, breathed in the chilly air and looked up at the skyscrapers. I've missed living in a true metropolis.
I finally got to visit the newly completed Lincoln Center, which I was quite impressed with. Doesn't it look especially romantic at night? Fingers crossed that I'll get a chance to attend an opera or ballet here sometime this year.
We didn't get to dine at the new restaurant at the center, but I was fascinated by its street presence, showcasing its kitchen full of chefs and sous-chefs to all of New York. Here's my friend HC trying to get a good shot of the action:
I escaped New York before the blizzards hit, and at last made it home to Toronto. It's been so good to be back in my own city.
So, goodbye 2010, year of change; and hello 2011, which I know is going to be just as wild. I'll be taking a little break to reassess my goals and dreams, and see where the winds take me in a few weeks. Until then, happy new year to you.
