SO! I'm here!! In RUBIN HALL of NYU. its pretty sweet actually, the location is a very nice and expensive location (greenwich village), i feel really safe here too. I have 2 roomies, Kallie and Dora Lee...theyre my age and super sweet, fun, cute girls (southern accents, im jealous). Our room is....wait for it...NOT air conditioned! its miserable to say the least BUT we just got 2 huge fans so that should definitely help a little. I'm a couple blocks from a really convenient subway so thats pretty awesome. and this area is SO nyc...lots of cheap little stores, shopping, people my age everywhere, street performers, etc etc.
Well anyway, yesterday when I got here i was STARVINGG, so i met up with some of the girls from Missouri State and we got SUSHI!!! (typical, im obsessed). It was amazing and soo yummy...after that we walked around 8th street and checked out some bars around there...there was a cool little pub where the bartender (erica) spit fire for us to stay! it was pretty cool we had a good time there...after that we walked around McDougall Street which I guesss is the hoppin spot to be at night but we realized that it was FLEET WEEKKKKK!!!!!! for those of you who dont know what fleet week is, its basically a few days that the Marines dock in NYC and the boys hit the town for some fun) ANYWAY me and cydney walk into a bar and realized it was FULLLLL of white uniform marine men. sweeettt luck I'd say! We met a couple really nice guys and they bought us some drinks and, naturally, me and cydney drank em and gave them the whole "we'll be right back" excuse and peaced out lol after that we made our way up to Times Square on the subway and snapped some pics...met some people that bought us a couple slices of pizza at Rays Pizza! It was SO GOOD!!! oh my gosh so good...i could eat the pizza here everyday. and its only $1 so there ya go!
After that, I pretty much called it a night and headed back to my dorm. Since today is memorial day weekend, I didnt have to work so I slept a little bit but couldnt fall back asleep after 10 am, at which time I decided to start my day.
Since my room was SCORCHING HOT, i grabbed the laptop and my phone and walked to this internet cafe by my place (its basically a coffee shop that has free wifi). WELLL FUNNYYY STORRYYY the "internet cafe" 's internet was down. sweet life. SO i walked my sorry butt a couple blocks away to ol reliable Starbucks and guess what?!?! you have to PAY for internet there! all those hardworking coffee people in starbucks with their laptop are PAYING for their internet at starbucks. not me. nooo wayyy. Long story short, I found a little place to hang out and cool off for a little bit.
Later I met up with some friends and we went up to Central Park for the day. I swear I walked around for 5 miles and barely made a dent on the place. its ginormous, no joke. sooo big. but every resident of NYC was at Central Park today lol everyone was laying out, it looked kinda funny. I shouldve taken a picture. After a little bit we stopped off at this little coffee place and i got the BEST BLUEBERRY MUFFIN for $1.25 at this place called Nectar Cafe at 79th and Madison. mmmmm omg it was amazing! Then, we headed back to Central Park and laid on a blanket for a while and people watched. I may or may notve fallen asleep for a little bit lol but it was nice. After that, we kinda went our separate ways for some showers and met back up for dinnerrr! Tonight we went to Chinatown and had AMAZING food!! omg it was the best chinese ever! and CHEAP!! like $4 for this HUGE plate of food. Obsessed...definitely taking visitors there.
And now i'm back in my room! I start work tomorrow at 10 am and I gotta get some rest, I'm so tired from the walking! But I will keep updating this dooont you worry!
