Today was a long one. As I rushed out the door to the subway station in order to get to work on time, I remembered to be grateful for the day gifted me and felt prompted to feel especially grateful for both the predictable and the unpredictable. I don’t know how I could have expected less than the latter during intern orientation day at the very unique Creative Time office. After TMI about office procedures, I was made to take an unexpected trip to Governor’s Island where a bunch of large scale installation art is being put up at the end of the month by artists from around the world working with the organization.
It’s a really beautiful green space and, of course, there are very few of those in NY. I wonder how many people actually take the time to take the ferry out there during the summer. It’s definitely in my plans to, outside of work obligations. Part of my plan to make my NY experience wholeheartedly mine…to really make an effort to find what I need and incorporate those things into my life in hopes that they’ll help me thrive. It’ll require spending a lot less time in front of this clunky piece of machinery and a lot more time on my bike.
Summer isn’t the time for me to feel like a clunky piece of machinery, either. To the Y or Bust!
