Dia: Beacon

I've been back in New York - back from a few weeks at home after school ended - for a month now, and haven't had a chance to do much outside of my apartment, where I'm usually applying for jobs, watching The West Wing (as always), reading, or avoiding the cold. Otherwise, there has pretty much only been my usual time spent in the theatre district and uptown around Columbia. On Sunday, though, Meena and I hopped on a Metro North train from Grand Central.



We went up the Hudson line to Beacon, New York. Along the way, we had a view of the foggy, icy Hudson River. Just under an hour and a half outside the city, Beacon is home to the Dia: Beacon, a modern art museum in an old factory building beside the river. The quick trip was a great way to get out of the city for a little bit, and a perfect rainy day activity.

Winter & Spring Reading

In 2017 I shocked myself by reading 100 books, despite a busy two semesters and three busy internships. This was the year that I fully kicked my reading slump and made sure I found more time to read, especially when I wasn't just on a break from school. Thankfully, audiobooks and the NYPL (and my internship at a publishing imprint) kept me reading throughout the spring and fall semesters, not just during the summer months. I also read so many wonderful books last year, so overall... a great reading year. Now, in 2018, I have another long, ambitious reading list to start out the year. I'm excited to pick up some of the newer books I missed last year, catch up on a few books that have been sitting on my shelves for a while, and get to read some upcoming releases that I've been awaiting for a long time (I'm dying to get my hands on Circe by Madeline Miller).
