Exploring Miami with Friends

It was fun getting to explore a bit of Miami with fellow pianists who became good friends.
One of the places we went was Wynwood Walls.

This was my favorite wall.

Broadway, NYC.

With Anna and Eleni :)

I'm shocked! ;)

Eating an enormous pizza in Wynwood Walls district.

Ready for the beach!

Driving over the bridge to South Beach!



The water was gorgeous.



Thunderstorm moving in.


Back in the Wynwood District- this time at Coyo Tacos. They had some of the best tacos!


Always a good reminder :)



We went to Taiwan Ice one night.

Honestly the coolest ice cream I've ever eaten.

Visiting :)

Several Ice cream rolls in one cup! 
At a delicious restaurant called Miam which translates "yum"!

Me and my roommate <3

We had so much fun!

Medicine Park Trip!

Image
My boyfriend and I spent a couple days in Medicine Park, Oklahoma for his birthday in November. It's a cute, old town with a history as the first cobblestone resort town.   There was this cool street with little shops and restaurants A very delicious dinner A lot of neat old stuff from around the world.  The famous Medicine Park duck ;) A very peaceful evening  They had the bridge decorated with pretty lights We drove up Mt. Scott. It was quite the drive and a beautiful view! It was cold and windy, but we had a great time! A happy 24th birthday dessert :) We spontaneously decided to get tattoos at the local tattoo shop! They turned out great! Definitely recommend the Legends Tattoo shop there. What a great time spent with my very best friend!  We both recommend visiting Medicine Park if you ever get the chance!

Moldova in May!

Image
In May, I went to Moldova for a few days with my brother and sister-in-law! View from the top of the hill at the "Candle of Gratitude Monument" in Soroca, Moldova. This is the Dniester river separating Ukraine and Moldova. I took a small bus from Odessa, Ukraine to Chisinau, Moldova. I stayed in this Airbnb with my brother and sister-in-law, Alina  The next morning, we walked around Chisinau. Above is pictured the Nativity Cathedral. We then drove a few hours to Alina's small hometown - Drochia. We stayed with her family for a few days in the house she grew up in.  Her village is so neat and beautiful. It's like going back in time. Some of the delicious food her family made for us. It was great getting to meet and speak Russian with them as well! I was a little out of practice, but they were very kind :) They butchered their pig while we were there, which is a yearly tradition. It provides meat for them year-round. Definitely an interesting process to watch. A beautif...

Since School Started

Image
The first day of school this year was the Solar Eclipse! It was only a partial eclipse here. You could only see the eclispe with solar glasses on I had on, but the sun did look unusual without the glasses as well. Looking at the Eclipse with our solar glasses on. It made the lawn look strange. It created mini-eclipses with the shadows through the leaves. It was pretty cool! See the reflection of the eclipse? It made peoples' shadows look strange. Now- replacing some broken strings on my piano. When you replace a string, it has to be tuned often at first. Practicing... Nathan posing by the Bell at TU Replicating Samson in this photo ;) Tyrell Hall, I believe. The library. Lorton Performance Center (the backview) The front view of Lorton. My favorite building on campus. All of us piano students with Cristiana Pegaroro. She is a great Italian pianist, and she gave me an amazing ...

2020 in Retrospect

Image
2020 - what a year! Started the year off by saying goodbye to Nathan before he moved to MI. I had just returned from Russia, and it was so nice to be back home. I helped Miriam build a snowman and rode horses with Sarah :) Target shopping with Magera, and smiling with fellow pianist, Trisha. In LA over spring break, I got to see Vanessa for the first time since Russia! My last semester at TU was bittersweet. Because of covid, I wouldn't get to have my senior recital. I didn't even know this would be my last orchestra concert. But we made it through our last, very strange semester, and graduated (without a ceremony, sadly).  Nieces birthday parties: Aurora turned one and Amelie turned three! Drinks and dinner with family <3 I went to LA again to visit my sister, and saw my friend in Long Beach too! I babysat my niece Kisstance for the week and it was a lot of fun! President Trump came to Tulsa in June, and some of us went to the rally. It was awesome! In Russia, Emily told me...

Does Your Phone Control You?

Image
The Norman Rockwell painting "At the Breakfast Table" Classes start back in just a few weeks :( but I know I am benefiting and learning from them. For example, one of my first classes I took last year, as a freshman, was an English and writing class. For our first essay the teacher wanted us to write about how people these days are always on their phones (especially young people, and I must admit, I have been a culprit of that myself!) Anyhow, she gave us the liberty to give our own views about it, but I think she tended to agree with my essay: How Technology Has Impacted Society Today Remember the Norman Rockwell painting “At the Breakfast Table”? A couple sits on either side of a small table, breakfast spread out before them, but something is surely amiss. The wife poses with teacup in hand, while a sad expression covers her otherwise beautiful face. The viewer cannot see the face of the husband, however, for he is buried behind a newspaper - reading. This situat...
