Hello, again!

I'm disappointed that I fell off the blogosphere while in Italy because that was something I really wanted to keep up and do well.  One of the unfortunate things that I learned while studying abroad is that you can't do everything.  And I realized that I couldn't construct my standard image and description-filled blog post and still keep up with everything else.  So the blog was one of the first things to go.

I did have many European adventures that I intend to share here, and I'll post here and there when I have time to really tell a good story.  But as you might've guessed from the title of this post, I am headed to New York City for the summer!

This is another great opportunity that was available to me through the Clemson School of Architecture.  I'll be taking a 6-hour studio class and living in on-campus housing at Columbia University.  The professor is known for being tough, so I'm hoping to have a really good project for my portfolio at the end of the summer.

My flight is tomorrow morning, so naturally, I'm still not fully packed, yet.  And I decided that I needed to update the blog before I finish packing.

Speaking of updating the blog, this is something I plan to do much more frequently from now on!  I've decided that even if I'm just posting one picture with a little paragraph, it's better than letting my blog fall asleep, again.

So for now, I'll leave you with a photo of the gorgeous sunset over Genova's Porto Antico, taken from my bedroom balcony...
