And I'm back! Today was my first "day" at work...basically just doing paperwork. by basically i mean thats all i did. Tomorrow counts my first REAL day in the office! EEK!
My plan for the day was to bounce around and run some errands with my time off but that was an epic fail. First of all, I was terribly distracted. Shiny lights, important names on buildings, a 3-story forever 21...you see what I mean. Anyway, I get back to my dorm after my hour of signature signing and understanding "terms and agreements", got my NYU id and as i'm heading out to begin my bouncing....rain. From the sky. Now, normally, this isnt that much of a disaster as much as an annoyance. I'd grab my shirt, hold it above my head long enough to make it to my car and then complain about the weather till I arrived at my destination.
However, I'm not in Kansas anymore, Toto.
Here its a completely different story. You have to really plan before you leave your place in the rain. Do you have the right shoes? Where is the umbrella? How long will you be out? All of these questions just racing because you'd be walking in this stuff.
SO, I decided to do my "inside errands". I added pictures on facebook, organized my room, began my internship class questions that I have to answer and filled out what I could in my workbook and now, voila! updating my blog for all you millions of readers. Even though I think Joe and my parents are the only 3 that check this lol
