Homework is the best!

I never thought this day would happen.

I love doing my homework. Of course, when that means going to stores like Bloomingdale's and Barneys and looking at the gorgeous clothes, who wouldn't love doing their homework. It would just be a million times better if I could afford the clothes. Alas, I am a college student and can not afford to drop $300 plus dollars on a shirt, no matter how gorgeous. I do have to eat. But then again, after two days of pretending to shop for clothes, maybe I'll go on a diet.

But more importantly. The window displays at Barneys were amazing. One was for the Barneys 500. For all you NASCAR fans out there, this was awesome. A Manolo Blahnik was racing around a miniature track. It was hilarious. And for the record. I think the Manolo Blahnik did win, and not just because I liked it the best.

The other was for Louboutins. They were swimming with the fish! I'm talking real fish! Fish that matched the color of the shoes that were in the tank! There was even a little note about how the fish go to sleep at 8, so we needed to be courteous when that time came. I can't wait to see all of the displays at Christmas time. If this is what they look like now, they are going to be amazing then.

On a side note. The Upper East Side...well the Lenox Hill area, which is a little lower on the caste list, is a whole different world than the Garment District. I think I should visit it more often. The sidewalks aren't as crowded, but even when they are, the people are nicer. The air smells fresher, probably because there are trees everywhere. Maybe not big Ohio trees, but trees. Even the steps up to the houses were nicer. They were all architecturally interesting, whether they were curving or the railings were twisted. They were beautiful.

Eventually though. We made it to Central Park. Which is gorgeous. And hidden within a million buildings.

It was nice to actually see a bunch of grass. After living on a farm all summer and being used to having a yard, I didn't realize that I would miss grass. But I did. Now I know that I can just hope on a subway and head on up to Central Park. It'll be nice to see that at Christmas time too. With snow everywhere and ice skating. Really I just want it to be colder than it is now because I'm pretty sure my skin is melting off on a daily basis.

Time to finish looking at the pictures I took while doing my awesome homework.

Auf Wiedersehen
