First Full Day in NYC

So I wake up this morning (Friday) and eat breakfast in our apartment dining room. The food was mediocre at best, but I made it a point to meet some new people. So exciting because I made like 6 news friends in one day! Some are from Germany, England, Scotland, Louisiana, etc. So many different cultures and interesting things to learn. Loving it!

Despite making some friends I spent the majority of the day by myself. Rode the subway to where I will be working so I can have a fool-proof route and went in to see if my ID was made. It wasn't, but I was so excited just to be in my future office building! I cannot wait to go to work Wednesday! Walked in Central Park a little and watched kids play on the playground. I chatted with a nice nanny and proceeded to leave so I wouldn't look suspicious. Came back to my apartment and had some Quiznos for lunch (Those Flatbread Lil' Sammies are the shit!) Of course I had to take my daily nap afterward and wandered around until I met Jessica from Germany for dinner.

At dinner I met a whole host of new people and we all went to the movie theater to see Atonement. Great movie, just a bit all over the place as far as the timeline was concerned. It was a mix of genres I love; romance, drama, action. Atonement was poignant and sweet. I then proceeded to spend the rest of the night gabbing away (what I do best!).

Tomorrow should be interesting, going to the 24/7 all glass Apple Store and putzing around with Lauren from Louisiana. Forgot to mention that I saw Lauren Graham aka Laurelai Gilmore on Gilmore girls at the airport! CELEB SIGHTING #1. I will be keeping count!
