One year was superhero themed; last year\u00a0commemorated Alexander McQueen&#8217;s legacy.\u00a0This year&#8217;s soiree celebrated the opening of the new spring exhibit, &#8220;Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations,&#8221; to be on view May 10 through August 19. In a dream world I would have attended the gala \u00a0in something magnificent; in an ideal world I would have been perched at the edge of my seat (in my favorite sweatpants) watching its live broadcast whilst gratuitously tweeting my opinions on what-worn-by-who. In reality, however, I sat pouring over my three textbooks\u00a0simultaneously. I can only multi-task proficiently under the influence. Starbucks Doubleshot Espressos are my drugs of choice. It&#8217;s currently exam period, if you haven&#8217;t realized; three exams within a 24 hour time frame are (academically) illegal. Pound on through it, I tell myself.
