Tryin' to relax...

Taking a walk through Central Park is really relaxing, especially after you've managed to finish most of your homework for the weekend. I don't want to be that person that complains all the time, but man, grad school is a lot of work. Lots of busy work unfortunately =/

Anyways, besides grad school, everything else is pretty alright. My rabbit is chillin and happy as ever, I got a $20 coupon from DSW (shoe heaven) which was great, I bought some much needed Shake Shack yesterday, and I finally took my camera out for a spin after 3 months, shame shame shame on me.

Hope you all are doing ok, I'm going to attempt to do some exciting things this month so I don't fall into that slump of being a graduate student hermit, only emerging when I need food and water, so stay tuned! But don't expect anything too exciting, I'm a relatively boring person haha.

I'm so sorry....

It's been exactly two months since I've posted something on here, and I really have to apologize. I hate the fact that I sort of abandoned this blog, but it was always at the back of my mind. 

Anyway, since I got back from Haiti, my scheduled kind of went into full throttle. I started working a lot more, and in September I started graduate school at New York University! A few other exciting things happened during my long blog hiatus:

1. My close friend got married in August, and I played for the ceremony. He got married at a vineyard, which was awesome, the wine was pretty great too *wink wink*

2. My other close friend got engaged, and will get married in December. I'm gonna be a bridesmaid y'all. 

3. I went to the ice cream museum with my brother, it was kind of disappointing but very instagram friendly haha hence the two photos (the deer head and the pink ice cream).
4. Celebrated my 24th birthday about a week ago. I like the number 24, so I hope that means that I'll have a good year.

There are probably other things that I'm forgetting but anyway, I am very very sorry for not posting; I was really really banking on having a constant posting schedule, but life always has other plans. 

Thanks you all for sticking around, and I'll find a way to post more regularly. 

P.S.  These photos are from my instagram, follow me @farrahadnyc

Haiti

Wow, I haven't posted since July 3rd! Sorry about that y'all.

Anyway, so every year a group from my old church (led my mom and dad) go on a mission trip to Haiti, to hold a camp for about 300+ children from the country side of Haiti. It's a lot of hard work, and it's SUPER HOT, but it's good for the soul you know? While there is still a great amount of poverty and suffering in Haiti, things are getting better and better. I went back in 2012, which was 2 years after the devastating earthquake that hit the capital, and compared to then, the capital has improved immensely, it's kind of amazing. There is still a major littering/garbage problem, which I would like to see get fixed. I'm sure they will soon.

Anyway, so while I was there, I didn't take out my camera very much because I was mostly working, or traveling, but I managed to take some photos, especially at the hotels that we stayed at. Hope you guys enjoy!

Brooklyn Heights

What's up y'all. I'm going to keep this short and sweet today, but here are some photos that I took in Brooklyn Heights! I'll be playing at a church every Sunday in Brooklyn Heights until September so I'll be in that area a lot. Brooklyn Heights is one of my favorite neighborhoods ever, it feels like the suburbs, and it's right across from Lower Manhattan. It's very expensive unfortunately but it's definitely goals.

Hope you guys are having a nice weekend, and Happy Independence Day!
