It is starting to feel like winter in the Big Apple. No snow, but it is chilly. The season isn't the only change that has been in progress. Work has been crazy this semester. We were short staffed and I was filling in with students from a different program. It turns out that I enjoyed working with this group of students so I asked to switch offices and advisees. Friday was my official last day with my old department. I am now advising students in the Associates in Fashion Marketing program. This move also a change in location. I have moved from the mid-town office near Times Square to the main campus, which is located near Union Square in the Village.
I have also been busy with the writing. I had an essay in the American Theater Wing's Play That Change My Life contest. My essay was in the top three of the public voting. You can read it at http://americantheaterwing.org/contest
Hanukkah is here. I had a lovely party with Sandy, Terry, Esther, Michael, and Mrs. C. (My neighbor). Sandy made latkas and brisket. Esther made holiday cookies. I am currently wearing the funky split toe socks that Esther and Michael brought me back from Japan. They are surprisingly comfy. :)

Occations
Lots of special occasions and events have been keeping me busy over the past month. The biggest event was my sister Esther's wedding to Michael. It was beautiful. You can check out some pictures of the event at www.sarahpostma.com/blog . I can't wait to see Esther later this week to hear about her honeymoon in Japan.
Most of our family was in town for the wedding. This was the first time my mom had visited me since I moved to NYC. I took her and Sarah around midtown, the upper east side, and the flatiron district. We went to Madison Square Park, Dylan's Candy Bar, FAO Schwartz, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, and Bryant Park. We went to my neighborhood in Brooklyn and Sandy and Terry took us on a driving tour of Brooklyn. We went to Red Hook and had coal oven pizza. We then went to Brooklyn Heights and walked around the promenade.
In other events I went to Washington D.C. to spend Thanksgiving with my Uncle Ed and Uncle Richard. Sarah and mom were also in town as well as my Aunt Isabelle, Uncle Charlie, Cousin Mark, and Aunt Veronica. We had a wonderful time. We went to the Smithsonian Museum of American History and the Newseum.
The holiday season is in full swing here. This so far has included some gatherings with NYC friends and holiday shopping. Today I went to the BUST craft fair with Heidi, Jen, Krista, and Gina. We had brunch at a great new find for us in Chelsea, The Green Monkey. Later Jen and I continued our shopping. We went to Fishes Eddy which is a great store that sells flatware and glassware. Jen introduced me to Subtletea a tea house in Murry Hill. We then went on to browse the holiday vendors at Grand Central Station.
