Walking, walking, walking.

Obviously I've been extremely busy with my incredibly important life here in New York City. That and I had a design project due and my body's trying to tell me that I'm getting sick. The first ended up great. I'm super excited about all the design work we've been doing. Our teacher is trying to get us to be as creative as we can be and she helps to show us how to do that. It's very conceptual and drawing the croquis (fashion people drawings) kinda sucks, but it's nice to do things in a different way than usual. Especially since once I head back to good ol' Kent, I'll be doing a lot more technical, commercial work.

Enough of that though. I've been fighting this being sick for three or four days now. And it's terrible. I've been eating well, getting a good amount of sleep, and dressing appropriately, all the things you mom tells you to do to stay healthy. But still I sit here and use tissues like it's my job. Hopefully the watermelon and grapes I just got help with that. If anyone has suggestions of how to beat a cold really quickly, let me know. Cause this is unacceptable.

Moving on. My parents came to visit me this weekend. It was a bit strange, seeing my Ohio parents going around New York City, but it was nice to see them. They actually walked everywhere that they went. For those of you who have never been to NYC, let me tell you. It sucks. I walked with them from the New Yorker all the way to the American Museum of Natural History. That's forty blocks. And on the way their we went to Saks and Barneys first, so three or four blocks out of the way.



After walking that much it was a bit hard to concentrate on all the awesome stuff at the AMNH, but I still managed. For those of you who don't know this about me. I am a museum lover. No. Not just a lover. I'm obsessed. Friday night we went to MoMA, which was awesome. And then the AMNH on Saturday. I was in heaven. And my favorite thing was the reptile and amphibian room at the AMNH. More specifically, the snakes. Weird, since if I ever ran into a snake anywhere that it wasn't dead or behind glass I would freak out. But they are so cool! Seriously! Take a look next time you are around snakes! Their bodies are amazing and they move so cool. Sometimes I wish I was a snake. It'd be awesome. Unless I lived in Texas and a cowboy shot at me.



And now. Let's take a moment of silence for the homework I had to do this weekend. It's called shopping. Mhm. I got to try on $900 sweaters. It felt wonderful. So if anyone wants to donate to the Keep Kim Warm Fund, you can send a check or cash to me. Just ask for my address. And FYI Baby Alpaca is the greatest feeling ever.

I'll try to do better with these posts from now on. But know that when it comes time to turn in a design project, I'll probably miss some days. But get over it. Cause I'm the one over here working my butt off!

Yasou.

Kim.
