Titus Kaphar →
So this past week in my Art of the African Diaspora (art history) class, we had a guest artist come and talk to us. This artist was Titus Kaphar, and let me tell you, he was amazing.

How do you know that you’re in New York City?

As I’m working in the library, just sitting at the help desk. I answered this guy’s question…then when he was leaving he came back and randomly told me that I had a very pretty smile. Awww :) That just made my shift so much better! Haha
For some odd reason, tonight I’ve had serious withdraws of Europe!! Yes, I know I’ve been back for months now…but still, I miss it so much! I miss the travel, the exploration, the food, the cultural differences, the ease of transportation, my friends, and just..everything!! Ahhhhhg! Whyyyyy!?
