What a better way to start a week than in Central Park. One thing I have been so thankful for recently is this park. I now understand the sole reason why it was built in the first place. It may be the busiest park I've ever been to, but there's just something about the surroundings that, although still busy and full of the city life, you're able to escape it all as if in any other park. It reminds me of home and I like getting out of the apartment to just read or sit in the park. I'm hoping to find some other great hidden gems of a park soon!
Anyways, this week was a good one and flew by! I feel like I've already been here forever though, weird enough. Monday I wasn't very busy, although in the evening some of the girls and agents from the agency went to a Kettlebell Kickboxing class, the same one I went to last week. It was fun working out as a group, and not to mention it's great motivation!
Tuesday I had a test shoot! Tuesday was also the start of a lovely trend of rain and wind that was super fun to get around in. I love the rain, but have a whole different appreciation for it when I'm back at home and have a car to get around in. Later in the day the DNA gang got together again to take a Ballet Beautiful class! This was by far one of my favorites because it's similar to what I do when I'm at home, so it was fun to get a class from someone who is very well known for teaching it and training many other models and celebrities. I was definitely sore the next day.
Wednesday was pretty slow, but Thursday was a day full of a test shoot! The crew was so great, I got to spend time in someone's beautiful house and the best part was getting to hang out with this puppy all day.
Friday I had a job WOO! It was nice to start working, and I got to be around other DNA girls, including my roommates, so overall it was a cool night. And the view from the venue was AWESOME! Saturday started off right with a morning rooftop workout sponsored by Under Armour! There's a free workout every Saturday hosted by some great trainers, so once again the DNA gang got together to work out! I love trying out all these new workout classes with other models. I had two castings the rest of the day, but after that Brittni, Alyssa and I decided to be friends and watch Friends! We also explored FAO Schwarz because who doesn't like going in a toy store.

And then comes Sunday. We went to church at Hillsong and it was good to go back there! The head pastor from the Australia church was in town and gave a message, so now I have seen him in both NYC and London which is pretty cool I think. I do love that church though, and I'm glad I found a place to go to every week. Brittni and I also got caught in another rain/wind storm. It's quite amusing watching your friend get pulled around by her umbrella while you are getting soaked all just trying to go to the grocery store. Other than that, I spent a long time making myself dinner and doing laundry but I'm not going to write about that. I'll try to be more entertaining next week.
This past week has been relaxing and full of work outs for the most of it, but I need to start exploring the city more. I do enjoy my days at the park but I want to take advantage of being here in the middle of everything! Sometimes I just get so caught up in what to do. Any suggestions...?
