“Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest.”
Who am I?
Like the blog would suggest, I am Shanna. I am your regular old New Yorker who has a hundred things to do and not a lot of time. I climb personal mountains daily: I currently work at a international education non-profit, attend law school full-time, stuck in an international long-distance marriage in a tumultuous time.
I don’t think I’m particularly interesting. I like to hustle. I get bored and restless pretty easily. I like to explore and take the long way to places. I believe if your destination is three “local” train stops away it is walkable. I have zero sense of direction and am finally comfortable getting lost. I am that person on the subway trying to read the print version of the Times during rush hour. I don’t understand why people who work in Manhattan go to Manhattan on the weekend. I will almost always take a detour if coffee is involved. I am cheap cheap cheap unless it comes to food. I bought a fitbit to guilt me into taking longer walks and track how much I sleep so I have a reason to justify being cranky some days. I also purposely forget to charge said fitbit when I feel like it’s an annoyance. I go through moods. One of the those moods is not taking pictures. This website constantly reminds we why this mood makes a website difficult to maintain.
