Adjusting...

So today we (me, and my roommates carrie and afton) moved hannah into her dorm at FIT. Super exciting. Last night we went to dinner at this fab little bar called Pourhouse something or other and had overpriced American cuisine, drank Mich Ultras, and over all felt fabulous while looking like total tourists. Oh well.

Sidenote: the toilet has been fixed, the problem --> our previous tenant whom I am now referring to as the terror tenant threw a pair of enormous disk earrings down the toilet, thus breaking it. Thanks.

Also my sister saw a man relieving himself on a poor New Yorker's stoop today. I guess when ya gotta go ya gotta go. Ew.

Hopefully tonight we will meet up with the rest of the NYC group and finally do the downtown thing, although my funds are going a lot more quickly than expected. I guess you only live once though...

What New York has taken from me so far: 

7 blister band-aids

a little dignity (getting lost and pulling a map out at EVERY stop light)

the arches of my feet

time (its going too quickly)

What I have gotten so far:

10 million ideas for outfits

a sense of independence

an overwhelming appreciation for beverage prices in Columbia, Missouri

a handy metro card that gets me anywhere (sometimes the wrong place but none the less someplace)

in conclusion we are heading to the upper east side today, to explore and such. Carrie would not be proud of my choice of footwear (Sperry's) but after three days of flats it's a must. Signing off for now.
