Long time no see,
my fellow book lovers. I’ve been gone for months now, and it feels weird being
back.
In case you all
didn’t know, I was super busy with grad school last semester. I also just
started at NYU’s Summer Publishing Institute (SPI) in New York City. I’ve been
learning all about the business of publishing, and it’s been awesome!
So, just a quick
update on my life:
1. Like I
mentioned, I graduated from grad school. I now have a Master of Arts degree in
Writing. It was a super stressful year of my life, but I am now free from
higher education (not counting my summer course certificate program). I won’t
be going back for a PhD anytime soon, if at all.

| My last day as a graduate assistant. :*( |
2. I am currently
living in New York City. I moved up here June 4th for SPI, and I may
or may not stay for longer. It depends on if I can find a place to live. (If
you or someone you know has recommendations for places recent college grads can
live in NYC, please holler at me.)

| My building. For now. |
3. I’ve done a few
touristy things, but I’ve been so busy with SPI that I haven’t really been able
to do much exploration beyond what I did earlier this year.
Something cool,
though, is that I have class in the building where Fantastic Beasts’ Niffler
scene was shot. It’s called the Woolworth Building.
I don’t get to go
inside the part where it was filmed, but I can see it from empty classrooms.
There are crying gargoyles in it. It’s kind of freaky.

| Fearless girl and me. (And some other lady because it was super crowded.) |
Alright, so that’s my quick update for ya’ll. If you want to hear more about my life in NYC, feel free to contact me here or on social media. I’m a semi-open book! ;)
