I was accepted to graduate school! This summer I'll begin my M.S. in Education as a middle school specialist at Bank Street School of Education, NYC.

That is all.

There was the collection of poetry I created when I was 16, illustrated with silly black Sharpie sketches and red, blue, and yellow crayons. There are the seemingly ( Read more... )

Happy (day after) Independence Day, everyone. I hope you spent the day and night splendidly. I celebrated/commemorated with the guy I've been recently dating, Jason (wish me luck!), our mutual friend Miriam and her boyfriend, and assorted others.
