Round two of Mexico City photos, including La Casa Azul (Museo Frida Kahlo) and lots of food!

Mexico City, pt. i

Here are some belated photos from my trip to Mexico City this past winter! It was only about a week long vacation, but I was able to see so many highlights from the city and surrounding area. We stayed at an Airbnb that was centrally located, so we were able to do lots of walking around the area surrounding the Zocalo. We used the subway and buses to get to everywhere else, which you'll see more in the posts to come. Because our trip was right around New Year's, the city was completely packed with people who came to visit from other parts of the country. By the end of the trip, there was still so much we hadn't been able to see, but regardless, I'm glad I was able to visit and experience this side of my heritage.

Heatwaves

It's summer, it's hot, what else is new? This upcoming Sunday and Monday we're in for a boiling 120 degrees... If I wasn't such a lazy person who didn't mind chilling (pun not intended) indoors all day, I don't know how I'd survive in this city.

A fresh-ish start

Okay, so to be completely honest, I forgot about this blog. School happened and I found that I had less and less to post about. However, it's finally summer, and so I've decided to try to resuscitate my blog with some new updates. For starters, I decided to retake the Myers Briggs personality test only to discover that my personality type is an INTJ (only 2% of the population! I'm a special flower, yay). In my opinion these results were much more accurate than my previous ones, and they reflect the smaller shifts I've had in terms of how I approach the world. On another note, I also took a test that revealed how imbalanced my chakras are, oops. I'm planning on posting more of my own photos, monthly (maybe bi-weekly, if I get bored) favorites, and just some random commentary on whatever I've been up to. Hopefully this will serve as some sort of motivation to go out and do things instead of sitting around on the internet all day. I've been working as an unpaid museum education intern three days a week, which makes me feel productive despite my shrinking wallet (it literally shrunk -- I bought a new, much smaller wallet just yesterday!). As I head into the final year of my undergrad college career, I've been forced to begin thinking about where I want to end up post-graduation next May. This still seems pretty far off into the future to me, so I plan on holding off the stressful, scary thoughts until they hit me a bit harder in the face. Today, I'll just focus on now.
