New York is almost a second home to me now, considering that I've lived here almost seven years so far. Wait.. I better qualify my statement to upper west side of New York. My family moved more than ten times because my dad used to be a journalist. So we haven't spent that long of a period in one place (we live in the suburbs now but might move to Seoul again).

When at school, I sometimes forget that I'm in New York. I fell in love with this school when I was sixteen years old and the love-hate relationship began. But this year, the love for this school and campus grows everyday as I spend more time on research at my favorite library spots. and building a living community here through morning holy star QT gathering, Harlem explorer volunteer, and Sunday services on campus.

The view of the sky from a study room I discovered my second year of grad school endowed a feeling of renewal and peace on this ordinary Tuesday morning.
