October Is For Lovers

What a month!

It's weird to think about how quickly this month has gone by: Midterms, Hurricanes, Halloween, Interning, Projects, Weekly Drunk Brunches, Voting, and cans upon cans of whipped cream (Hot Cocoa-mania). It's definitely been nothing short of hectic but I think it's been one of the best months in my Pratt career. I think that scheduling in two days in a row to leave Brooklyn and spend working in Manhattan has really made a beneficial impact on my life, especially now that I don't have to go out of my way to shop in the garment district (fashion...).

It's rather scary leaving the safety of October and realizing how close November is to our final semester bow. It's especially terrifying for me because I'll be leaving Pratt for the semester and still have so much to plan; Milan is an exciting venture yet is insanely intimidating. Finally when I feel like I own the school do I decide to take a break. But I suppose life is full of exciting new beginnings so it's just practice and an opportunity to improve myself.

Every step toward exchange is becoming more and more sobering: I haven't had to register for classes (a huge stresser to many of my classmates), I've begun to re-pack my belongings, I've been attempting to tie up loose ends with my apartment, and I've admitted to my classmates and professor that I won't be here next semester during a design presentation. Weird. But liberating.
