Two is Better Than One

"That maybe it's true/ That I can't live without you/ And maybe two is better than one/ But there's so much time/ To figure out the rest of my life/ And you've already got me coming undone/ And I'm thinking two is better than one" - Boys Like Girls ( Ft. Taylor Swift)

I fell in love with this song, though some say they are a bit "whinny" sounding. It made me feel better when I was feeling lonely. 

This is a continuation of my previous post. Our second seminar, was at the National Museum of the American Indian. The more trips we had, the merrier. This time we knew each others' names; definitely an improvement from the last seminar. This seminar was about the population growth of New York City. Some what interesting; I think I learned that the Chinese and Italians are taking over New York City. 


If you compare this layout with the previous entry they are somewhat similar. I do like having a theme for layouts that have similar in events. I made my graduation scrapbook and every page was nearly identical. Only the pictures on each page were different. The mini pictures were taken in the park near the museum. In the distance, we could also see the Statue of Liberty. The cover of one of the brochures I collected from this museum and the Mat Stacks by Making Memories were used create layers in this layout.

New Beginnings

"When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us." - Alexander Graham Bell

When I graduated this past May, the Rutgers Engineering door was slowly closing. Another door opened as it slowly approached the first day of my internship at New York City Department of Design and Construction. No expectations made my internship an interesting ten weeks. More importantly were the relationships I developed with the other interns. The agency was great about setting up seminars and field trips.

Our first seminar was at EL MUSEO DEL BARRIO about participating in service for the city. When we took this picture, I told everyone to pretend we liked each other and that we knew each other. Of course the case was that we didn't barely knew each others' names. The mini shots are of Central Park; they are the corners that I rarely get to see. 

I love collecting memorabilia where ever I go; I picked up the habit of collecting business cards from Grams. At museums, I like to collect all those reading materials that do short descriptions. I couldn't fit them all onto the page but the simple brochure front cover did make it as the title of this layout.
