The update for friends

SOOOOO many people are asking for the deets! Unfortunately, University of Dreams keeps surprising us with last minute meetings, classes, etc to attend so I haven't had much down time to text/call/facebook chat. Here's my story so far:

After a dee-lightful late night visit from Kendall, I got 2 hours of sleep before waking up at 4:00am to finish packing and head to the airport. Flight left at 8:00 and it was and extra boring 3-hour flight, with the worst movie to watch: ToothFairy. sick.

After having to circle LaGuardia due to bad visibility I finally arrive and get my huge bags and get in a legit taxi with a legit Russian driver. I get to the dorm and immediately sign-in with a thousand different people, and have to walk about 20 minutes to another building to get my ID. (first hour in NYC and they send me to walk 10 blocks away = terror) I make it back alive, and finally get to my room.

I meet one roomie, Arielle, and then pass out on my bare mattress for about an hour. I have SUCH a headache at this point, I could barely see straight. I officially claimed my bed when I awoke to see the huge drool puddle I left. With my headache somewhat subsided, i unpacked some things and soon Arielle returned and we hit the streets!

Just walked aimlessly. take a left? why not! Its not like we knew where anything was! i first directed us to Pinkberry though, cuz i was STARVING and it was divine! wander wander wander, head back to the room, met the other roomies; Min & Yifan, and headed to a welcome dinner from UoD (University of Dreams. Sounds pretty homo until they land you an internship in New York!) then off to an early bedtime.

This morning we had Orientation where we went over rules, policies, boring boring boring. Arielle and I had lunch at PIE, a small pizza place that turned out to be INCREDIBLE! we wandered some more and soon headed back for another session of meetings, then off to do practice runs to and from work.

Mine is about a 30 minutes walk, (which goes straight toward the Empire State Building) or 15 minute subway ride. Since I'm not very familiar with the Subway yet, I'm going to walk there for my first day, and then maybe take it home, depending on my mood.

So far I'm LOVING the whole city, but there's much much much more to see and do!
