First Day in NYC!










So I have finalllyyyy arrived in the BIG APPLE! After a very longggg red eye flight, I arrived early in the morning to my dorm. First one there, I got all my stuff unpacked, so much more room than Berkeley haha....I met my other room mate and her mom, she is a senior and is from uptown NY and her name is Sarah, super nice! Then, even though I was dead tired, I had to get out and explore! First stop, barnes and noble for a much needed journal and map of the city. Then of course Pink Berry, where I filled out an application to work there! I have to go to an open house to have an interview and will hopefully get the job (free yogurt!!!) Then I just started walking....and walking...and walking...mostly along 5th avenue...getting a little lost along the way, but ended up in Madison Square Park where I sat for a little bit...then took the metro to Times Square, crazy as always!...walked alllll along the street because they had a flee market going. By the way, the weather is SO NICE! i mean SO HOT but i loveee it :)! at least now i do haha....so finally I gave into my body and had to get a nice largeee iced coffee (from McDonald's to fulfill Flo's request, and yes it was oh so delicious)...then headed over to Rocketfeller center and the best part of 5th avenue (SAKs, tiffany's, trump tower, bergdorf, must i say more?) Took a little break and decided since it was sunday that i would pop into St. Patrick's Cathedral and ended up staying for the rest of mass...it was in Spanish! haha but i stayed through communion and everything...then i decided to relive my past a little and go to American Girl Doll Place...omg so funny...they had a place to hold your doll in the restroom stalls!! crazyyy. More walking, past Plaza hotel...to central park where I sat a little and wrote in my journal...then off to Walgreens and Duane Reace for much needed supplies, it started raining on my way back! but still like 80 degrees....then a fabulous dinner splurge at Whole Foods (whoops :) only this once) Met my other room mate and her mom, all sooo nice! invited me to dinner but I had already ate, but tomorrow might meet up with Cooper and its a new day, can't wait!!
