Finally Here!

A wake up from my sister Sarah at 6:30 a.m., 2 trips back to the house for forgotten things, and one pit stop along the way... so begins my summer in New York City. My parents so graciously drove me (and a van full of my stuff) to Brooklyn today to move into my dorm-like room. I risked being laughed in the face as we hauled bin after suitcase after duffel bag into the lobby of the EHS Clark Street Residence. Luckily no one made fun of me (just a few sideways glances), and I actually fit everything into my room (and decided to send a few things home with my parents).

We unpacked all of my stuff, walked around Brooklyn Heights for a while and got some dinner at Monty Q's Brick Oven Pizza. My (and Michael Scott's) favorite New York pizza joint, Sbarro, will have to wait for another day. After getting a public transit ticket and buying a few groceries, I finally met my roommate, Lauren, and got my internet set up.

A park that's right down the road

Taking the risk of sounding like a giant nerd, I will disclose that my parents are accompanying me on a practice commute to Ogilvy tomorrow morning! I hope it's not too terrible since I'll have to make it for the next ten weeks.

So far...
Positives: Liquor store, grocery store, and gym all within 2 minutes! Nice neighborhood.
Negatives: Shared closet, communal kitchen
