Not a lot to update on. The trees are sort of starting to turn colors here. (as in, I saw three leaves that were yellow. It's a slow process) It has been cool, but today it was hot again, which was a little bit frustrating, but oh well. I hear it's crazy hot back home, which is odd to me.
You know, I have come to realize that I may be a little bit too cut off from the outside world. You would think that living in New York City would make one constantly stay informed on things, but actually the exact opposite is the case. It turns out that when you don't have TV or a newspaper subscription, the world outside the immediate Manhattan island is actually quite a mystery. Case in point: a tornado happened in Queens. I had no idea. It's sketchy.
So yeah....I suppose I'll have to start reading the New York Times online so I can have the semblance of a balanced and well-informed adult.
I went to the metropolitan museum of art again today for class. I really love it there...it's so peaceful and when one is surrounded by art, it becomes the best therapy for a very stressed day. It's nice.
I also got the chance to hang out with Derek and Greg down in the financial district last night, which is awesome. We ended up going over to Brooklyn with Greg's girlfriend Tracey and went to this tiny little restaurant on Front Street that was very good. It was their Harry Potter book club night, so I basically just sat there and didn't really contribute, but it was really nice to get away from people not from the school for at least one night. I get kind of claustrophobic in my dorm sometimes.
Tomorrow I'm going to the beach for the afternoon while it's still partially nice outside. It's supposed to be warm and sunny, so let's hope.
It has also come to my attention that I should probably start being better about taking pictures. But here's the thing peeps....when I take my camera out into the city, you know what I end up looking like? A tourist. Yes, that's right. That's when people start to think that I don't live here, and believe it or not, you actually do get treated very differently. It's strange. However, I feel that I have put in my time and been initiated enough to call myself a New Yorker. Why, I've even gained a solid understanding of the subway and use it often. You'd all be so proud. But at any rate, I will do my best to take more pictures for you guys.
So yeah...I suppose I should go try to find something to eat. Thanks for reading!
