New York and Thesis
The past month or two has been a total whirlwind. In the heat of MS defense time and finals (oh, and trying to sell my house in Baltimore), M and I also needed to travel to New York City to find an apartment. We found a great Duplex in Manhattan near the Empire State Building (it only took us a day!). A video of the interior is at the end of this post. We found the agent playing Mr. Hip New York Real Estate Agent funny–”No no! You give me 10%!”
The Chrysler Building shot is from our apartment window a couple weeks ago. I anticipate posting a lot of architecture shots in the coming months, as I become acclimated to my new area.
The crappy looking pano shot is from our apartment window too. That one was shot after a night of getting acclimated to our new area (i.e. checking out a few of the local bars!). I initially uploaded it to Flickr just for the hell of it and to show friends what it looked like, but somebody made a comment that the roughness of the pano stitching fit the subject matter well: rough looking different architecture. It was convincing enough for me to post here–many, many more to come in the future, I’m sure.
Shortly after the apartment details were finished, I successfully defended my MS Thesis. I have a few minor edits to make before submitting the hard copy to the graduate school. So finally, finally, I’ve finished. After years of going part-time and feeling like I’d never finish, then biting the bullet and going back full-time to get things done once and for all, it’s done. So what’s next? Working full-time again, and considering Ph.D. programs in New York for next spring.
And last but not least, to top off our month(s) of craziness, we took an extended weekend to Ocean City, MD this past weekend. It was senior week, so it was marginally annoying with the loud douchebags drag racing all night, but otherwise was a great relaxing weekend of reading and walking and photoing and eating and drinking. And getting overly sunburned like usual (I’m in perpetual denial that I’m the whitest white man that ever lived, so sunblock is a necessity). The top photo was taken from Assateague Island, a small national park on the beach that has good fishing and wild horses. It’s very picturesque. Here’s a full-sized version of the pano.
