when i finished grad school last december i made a list of all of the things i would do with my new found free time. after two and a half years juggling classes and working full time, it seemed like i would have so much extra time to run around the city just appreciating it and taking full advantage of it. flash forward one year and i wonder where all of that "free time" has gone, because it certainly hasn't been spent running around appreciating new york city. on top of that, this week i spent three days in various pairs of pajamas obsessively refreshing my twitter feed as hurricane sandy unfolded. anyone living in new york city knows that you were where you were when the storm started and you weren't going anywhere anytime soon. it again made me realize how much i take this city for granted, and further inspired me to get out and appreciate.
