wait, its been only one week?

Just my average morning in my new life.
Wake up in the most miserable heat wave of my life (have I mentioned my place isnt air conditioned? Yeah, kill me now.), decide what my plans are and head out into the world.

Today was only slightly differently. Woke up, check (and thanks again to the man upstairs for another chance at this thing called life!). Made plans for the morning, check.

And here comes the change.

So. Many. People. Were. Moving. Into. My. Building.

And so it hits me.
Today is Sunday. Sunday=move in day. Which means, last Sunday=my move in day. Which in turn, means I've been here officially for a week.

YAYYY i've survived 7 days.

But more than that, its only been a week?! Like just one? But it feels like 4! I know the city so well! I understand the subways almost completely! I feel comfortable at work! I slightly have a routine!

How's it going so far, you ask? or not? Too bad. It's going great. I really love it here. I love the dynamic of the city, I love the island and how its set up where every couple blocks has its own personality, I love the food, I love the culture, I love everything.

I dont miss driving. I dont miss the areas I was used to. I don't miss Springfield. I dont miss St Louis. I dont miss my bed.

....yet.

I dont know when I'm gonna be ready to go back, but it kinda makes me nervous its only been 1 week. I got a whiiiile to go in this place and if I had to guess, I'd say my emotional breakdown will probably come around week 6. Joe will be here during week 4 and I move out at week 9. Yeah...get ready for some emotional blogging around week 6. However, that is the week I'll be with JAYME! (Note to my sister: lets have some fun. It's gonna be a rough week.)

I am missing my girls though. I love the girls I know here and we're having a super fabulous time runnin around the city like its our playground and being each others stand-in bff's. I just wish my homies were here...the "dirty dozen" as emma calls us haha if any of you are reading this, I miss you like crazy. I'm doing my best to keep in touch with you. And if I havent spoken to you, I love you, and I cant wait to see you. Trolleys and boogie upon my return? Please? ok great. Lumiere for all my stl friends ;)

I'm also missin Joe...wont go a lot into that because he knows...and everyone would probably be grossed out by the romance details lol...but I will say, distance makes the heart grow fonder. <3 See you soon, dear. You're the best thing ever

Anyway, today I bought a book...and returned it and bought another book lol..Clockwork Orange. It's crazy interesting and I was drawn to it so much. So much so that I went BACK to the bookstore to return the book I had originally bought lol...what a nerd, right? Dont worry I know. But today was a beautiful day. Christina Benson and I bought our books (this was round 1 for me) and went to Central Park and sat in the field reading/people watching/life discussing. It was such a great relaxation thing. It will be my sunday routine. So loved it. After that, we went back to B&N so I could exchange books and we actually stayed there for a couple hours reading some more. Lazyyy sunday and it was great.

Love you all, I'm gonna go people watch in Union Sq. No big.
