morning tea.

Just having one of those days.

british.

As far as decorating in my apartment, it is coming along nicely.  My roommates and I all decided that we will each get a wall in the living room that we can decorate to our choosing.  Considering my obsession with British culture, it was a no-brainer that was theme was to be British.  As you may be able to see, so far I have a "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster, a vintage map of London, a Union Jack poster, a poster of the London Tube, and some photographs from my travels in England and Scotland this summer.   

it's a lifestyle.

For the academic year I have decided to go vegan.  Although partly for dietary reasons, I am doing it mainly for environmental reasons.  Although when eating out it can be slightly difficult, it is quite easy at home, and rather good.  I came home for the long weekend, and made some delicious food with my mom. I purchased some local organic mushrooms at a fair in Montauk, and bought tomatoes, onions, brussel sprouts and other food at the farm stand near my house.  

internet problems.

It seems that I have been having internet problems. I haven't been making any posts lately because for some reason blogger doesn't work in my apartment at school. But hey, it's alright alright alright.

dorm life

It's been over a week since I have moved in, and I am finally staying my first weekend here at Lincoln Center. My apartment is pretty nice, and I'm looking forward to decorating it all year with different finds.

I'm living with 5 other girls, and we are each in a double.  We have a nice living room, kitchen area, and two bathrooms. Definitely more to come.  My roommates and I are all planning on taking a wall in the living room and giving it our own touch.  I am planning on a British theme.   

electric feel.

So out in East Quogue, we lost electricity for three days. I wasn't able to make any postings, but I have some more pictures from Hurricane Irene when I went surfing with one of my good lifeguarding friends, Karli. Besides losing power for three days, there was no substantial damage done to my house.  Lots of branches and leaves all over the yard, but should be back to normal soon.

 I'm back at school now, and all moved into my apartment at Lincoln Center. I will be posting more soon! 

come on irene

As you may know, Hurricane Irene is about to strike our coast over here in New York. The eye is suppose to hit Manhattan (which will delay my moving in for school), and out here on Long Island we are expecting strong winds.  Considering it may be the worst storm the northeast has witnessed in 50 years, a lot of preparation is needed.  My mom and I spent most of the morning clearing the deck.

Hopefully the pictures before Irene compared to those after won't be to different.  After we finished most of the clearing, we decided to visit the beach.  I brought my surfboard and attempted to catch a few. My car was packed with boogie boards, towels, and my surfboard.
