I had my last final Monday… feeling sick about it.
I should have studied harder during the semester, but I always get caught up in other things that I much rather be doing... especially at night. I guess I really wanted to rely on luck to pull me through... well. Bad idea.
I've spent nine hours studying for that exam the day before and two hours the morning of. I felt tired, burned out and sick. I left monetary expansion variable out of the equation. Anyway, I'm just happy that it's done.On the down side, my best friend just left for his home state today. We hung out all day yesterday...It was a long day. My room mate moved out in the morning and I spent the morning helping her pack and moving her stuff into her dad's car. Now I'm sitting in my dorm with half of my room gone. It's a strange feeling. As much as I love my privacy, it's just weird having half of my life this semester disappear in the short span of two hours. Afterward, I spent the entire day with my best friend. We took the subway to Bayside Cemetery and wandered the overgrown plots for a few hours. Then we took the train to downtown Manhattan and wandered around where we lived last year. Then in a long crisscross, we cut back uptown through Chinatown and Little Italy, stopping occasionally for food and other curiosities.
After breakfast at Gemma restaurant today, we said our goodbyes... now I miss him like crazy. In an incredibly sweet gesture, he gave me a box of sidewalk chalk since I have always been fascinated by the sidewalk artists. I guess I know what I will be doing for the summer.
So to kill a bit of the boredom, I went for a walk along the Lower East Side. On the way, I stopped by the Fusion Arts Museum on Stanton. Unfortunately, there was no show going on but the outside of the building is almost enough to justify a trip there. Appliances recognizable from everyday life are married into an explosive web of blue modernism... the effect is whimsical and unforgettable.

Perhaps I'll add more detail once the next show opens, but for now, pictures of the exterior will have to suffice...
Reminds me of this little house in Olympic View (Seattle). The yard is full of whimsical little wind chimes and water wheels that goes off in the slightest breeze... and the entire wooden house is painted this exhilarating aquamarine that simply thrusts itself into the very center of your sight.
