Today was my first full day in the city.
I think it will take awhile to adjust to the idea that I’m here for a whole semester, but for now I’m just trying to get my bearings and have fun!
We woke up and explored the area for a place to get breakfast. My mom is staying a few nights, which is awesome! We had a blast today, shopping and running around Manhattan.
My place here is spectacular. It has an awesome view of the city and is in a kind of residential area (it’s pretty safe here). There are three Starbucks’ within 2 blocks of my apartment, as well as the best hamburger place, a Barnes and Noble, a billion shops and at least four grocery stores. It’s pretty awesome. Oh and many of the stores are open till midnight on weeknights! It truly is the city that never sleeps.
We got New York pizza for dinner. And saw a cockroach in the restaurant. Ick! Somehow I wasn’t too bothered though and Kept Calm and Carried On 😉
Anyway, I love my neighborhood and new home and hopefully I’ll make a lot of friends soon!
Love and miss you all. <3
Love,
Krista
