I am a NYC resident! Yesterday my parents and brother helped me move into the graduate residence hall and got me settled in the apartment. Although the room is a bit dated it has tons of space and storage which is perfect. I spent the day setting up my area of the room, shopping with my mom for last minute additions and familiarizing myself with the area after saying goodbye to my family. I absolutely love this part of the city. I’m right outside Washington Square Park and Union Square is a five minute walk up the road. There are a ton of really cool and quirky restaurants/bars that I’m dying to try out. Tonight is a graduate happy hour social at a local bar that I’m going to check out with my roommate. I’m really looking forward to meeting some more students who live in the dorms and hopefully I’ll click with some people and won’t be dependent on my roommate. She’s cool and all, but I can’t picture us being really great friends and would like to get to know some other people.
I’m heading home on Thursday to have my wisdom teeth removed and I am still so fucking pissed that I need to have this procedure done so close to the start of classes. It will be nice to see my friends and family over the weekend and relax at home and tell them all about how things are going in the city. Then it’s back to school on Monday to get ready for the start of classes! Things are so good right now and I can’t wait to see how the semester goes!
