In The Blink Of An Eye

...that is how fast things change.

Actually, that is how fast things change when you least expect them to. Thankfully, everything is changing for the best at the time being!

This past Wednesday, I arrived back home (via bus) from my favourite city. Ok, fine...second favourite city. There is just something special about New York. I realize that sounds like an incredibly cheesy line from an awful romantic movie but it's true! There are people who hate the noise, the constant flow of people, the line-ups, the mess, and so on. Granted, all of those things are indeed a staple of New York city but that is exactly why it's so amazing. It's unique and it has character. Something that cannot be said about many things in this world. Anyways, moving on...

The reason why my mother and I decided to hop on a bus and take the ten hour trip down to Brooklyn is because we had a few things to celebrate. Plus, the timing could not have been any better. I had just handed in a major event proposal for my event management class and was dreaming of a little getaway. 

As for the celebrations...

First of all, my auntie got a job offering at a hospital in Manhattan as a psychiatrist set to commence the day her med school residency. Secondly, my younger cousin (who was literally on the brink of becoming his mother's very own psychiatric patient) finally received his college acceptance letters to schools including but not limited to Harvard, Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth and Williams. I think everyone is still a little shocked (including the little brainiac himself) but indescribably proud! Lastly, it was my grandma's 72nd birthday. Needless to say, it was definitely an amazing trip. We'll leave out the part where I got the sniffles because someone likes to keep the apartment temperature slightly below that of a fridge. 

(My photography skills are improving, if I can say so myself. And when I say photography skills, I mean my ability to snap photos that don't look like utter garbage)

Ok, I'm leaving you guys with a quote I found by our dear friend Buddha. 

The problem is, we think we have time.

I swear to god, this quote should be the sole sentence members of a procrastinators help group should chant. But there can never be such a group because they'd probably put it off until tomorrow! Get it? Because that's what procrastinators do..they put things...oh forget it.

Happy Passover and Happy Easter Everyone!!
