i got my bachelors degree wooo written in…

i got my bachelors degree….wooo…

(written in may but i never posted…sorry!)

great, 16 years of nonstop school and here i am.  it’s so crazy, but i’m happy.  i think i’m ready for this…ready to be on my own and ready to NOT WRITE PAPERS.

no, but seriously, this past month has been crazy.  graduation on may 22…and before that there was the laurel parade, our school tradition.  i looked everywhere for a really unique white dress (we were all supposed to wear white) because EVERYONE will be wearing one of those knee-length white sleeveless dresses and…i never found one good enough.

then, one day i was walking through union square and on a complete whim found this AMAZING white trina turk jumpsuit.  fate! so good to me ;D  i was DEFINITELY the ONLY one in a jumpsuit hahaha.  everyone went crazy over the outfit, and strangers even came up to me to ask where i had gotten it from!

good buy =D now my parents have left for asia (including bali and hong kong) and my mom stole the jumpsuit T__T (“i want to wear this on the beach in bali!!”)  but whatever….im home alone now! (with my brother)

anyway, back to graduation.  the actual ceremony was horrendously boring, as graduations usually are.  i was 30 minutes late to the ceremony and ran into my spot just as soon as everyone was lining into the amphitheater.  oops.

after graduation and goodbyes i went to nyc for a couple days.  then home, and then i went back to nyc for my bday weekend!  more on that in a few days…i’m such a slacker with updating these days.  instead, i leave you with a song and a review!

REVIEW/RECAP: 
Alexander McQueen
: Savage Beauty at The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Okay, so it’s not really a review…more like a recap on my visit. I went first on a Monday or something in the afternoon.  The line was over 45 minutes long and wrapped around the entire level of the museum!  I didn’t have the patience, so opted instead to visit the musical instrument exhibit and other painting galleries.  The next day I arrived a bit earlier, around 2pm, and the line was still long, but definitely not as long as it was the day before when we got there at 3/4pm.  We only waited for about 25 minutes, and it was well worth the wait!  I spent maybe an hour inside as there was just SO MUCH STUFF!  Mcqueen dresses, yes, but also lots of shoes, hats, accessories, and media exhibitions too! I loooved the Kate Moss hologram at the end–i watched it maybe 5 times until Silvena pulled us away!  It’s SO worth the visit and wait; I loved the whole thing (except for the weird Africa/Asian exhibitions that were a bit racist/orientalist in their depictions…).

I bought a tiny McQueen armadillo shoe from the gift shop at the end.  Overpriced, but so cute.  Everyone should go visit, especially since the exhibit is only running until July 31st.  No photos, but i sneaked a couple.
