I'm sick and I miss New York

I've been sick for a week plus and it's getting really old. I'll probably never recover because I have to stand outside for 3 hours every Thursday and sketch architecture. Then I wake up on Friday with a bad cough and by the time I start getting over it, I'm outside sketching again. Anyway.

The weekend is over... I went to the Tate Modern on Saturday... it was incredible! Lots of Francis Bacon, one of my all time favorites. I picked up some cool postcards there too; they're blank and you're basically just supposed to draw your own picture. You can draw them while you're there and leave them in a box and they post the ones they like on the wall. I did a contour drawing of my hand holding a pencil that says "YOUR PENCILS ARE DULL"... (they were). Then I decided I wanted to take it with me. Nikki, if you're reading this, thanks for the museum reccommendation! I'll send you a postcard if you email me your address.

Friday I went to Cambridge. Pretty boring but the colleges there are beautiful. I'm so jaded from having to sketch architecture that all Gothic buildings are boring to me now. Example:



hey look, a boat!



I should probably go to class now. I'll leave you with this song that I can't ever get out of my head and it reminds me of NYC
