Postcards from New York

TWO MONTHS ALREADY?!

As of yesterday, I have been living in the US for 2 whole months! That seems so, so crazy to me! It has gone so fast, we're almost half way through this semester, and I know before I know it we'll be heading home for Christmas!

The past two weeks have been super busy with papers and midterms, and has been quite stressful! They seem to have gone ok, and the test I did a few weeks back and complained how awful it was, I somehow got 110%!! I don't know how that happened, or how it is even logically possible, but I'll take it! I'm still loving all my classes but cannot wait until next weekend as we have Fall Break which will be a nice little break away from all the hard work!

 I should probably have spent this weekend studying for my next two midterms, but instead I have had a jam-packed weekend exploring upstate New York. At the end of the day, I'm only here for a year and have not come all this way to see the inside of a library, so I have to make the most of it! 

 We were in a gift shop on our adventures today, and I was looking at the postcards and thought it would be cool to do something a little creative- so I've put together some of my favourite moments from the past two months and made them into little postcards type things (nothing too fancy or requiring artistic technique that I definitely do not have, but I think it looks pretty). Enjoy!! 



















There's some of my favourite pics! Next weekend is going to be very very exciting so keep an eye out for another post sometime soon! 

I post all the time on my Instagram: @elsiecussons , so go check that out if your not already following!

And just because today is my brothers 21'st birthday, and this is the first time we've been in different countries for one of our birthdays, here's a special throwback:

Niagara Falls

MY WONDER OF THE WORLD Our trip to Canada involved one day visiting Niagara Falls! When I found out I was coming to New York for my study abroad year, I realised it was only a 4-5 hour drive from Niagara Falls, and so I told myself I really had to go. We tried and planned a trip to go last semester, but for one reason or another it never happened- and I'm actually quite glad it didn't because we were planning to go to the American side, and I'm so glad we went to the Canadian!! We planned this trip when we got back in January and it gave me something to look forward to, and it was an amazing day. Now, I was 100% convinced Niagara Falls was one of the 7 Wonders of the World, and after an intensive google, I've had to accept it isn't - I got very excited when I thought I had finally been to one of the seven. However, I think it definitely should be on that list (have you seen it by the way? It's actually a very random list in my opini

Spring Break in Montréal

BONJOUR MONTRÉAL! Last week was Spring Break, and I went to Montréal!!!! Montréal was another place I had always thought of visiting when I found out I was studying in New York. It was actually one of the places I selected as an option to study abroad, and the whole French region thing really interested me - although it was soooo much more French than I had expected!!! My friend drove us both to Montréal, where we stayed for 2 nights; which was definitely enough time to see the city!!

THANKSGIVING BREAK   Although Thanksgiving was almost a month ago now, I have been so busy since with finals and papers and so never got round to posting about my break; so I'm going to do it now because it was so wonderful and I want to have it documented on here! (Note: I'm only just getting around to posting this and I wrote this post 2 weeks ago, so thanksgiving was well over a month ago now!!!)
