It has been a crazy, hectic week. I have finally found time to sit down, relax, and actually enjoy a hot cup of coffee. Make that a soy latte with an extra shot of espresso. I've been cold, tired, and frustrated waiting for the power to return after superstorm Sandy roared through the east coast last Monday October 29. My life has come down to showering at the gym (for lack of hot water at my house) and calling every department store near by to see if they have received another shipment of generators. I've been staying with my parents in NJ and power restoration is moving at an alarmingly slow pace.
School and classes have resumed at NYU this week. Luckily, I was able to make it into the city. The mere sight of civilization is refreshing. I can finally resume to what I do best: eating. I plan on spending the week brunching between classes and grabbing yummy treats and coffee on the go.
My love for New York City is blossoming. As the fall season slips away, I am beginning to anticipate the holiday activities looming around the corner. I am a sucker for all things holiday related. My favorites include layering outfits with oversized sweaters and going for long runs in the cold, brisk air. The city is my playground, and I intend on taking full advantage of the holiday festivities. For one, I am eagerly awaiting the opening of the ice rink in central park. Although I lack the proper skills needed to ice skate, I plan on watching those who do possess these skills with a cup of hot cocoa and a couple of friends. I am also hoping to brunch an indefinite amount of times.
For now, I am hoping and wishing for power to be restored in NJ.
