It's my third day back in the city... from the very first night of being in the city, I could feel the comfort of home starting to set back in. I was in the Supershuttle (which takes forever, but you know, I wasn't in any hurry) and as it came over the hill where you can see the skyline for the first time, I felt my heart start to pump a little faster and I smiled a little bit to myself with nostalgia and excitement. It's so beautiful at night time!
Thursday, Sam and I used the whole day to apartment hunt. We were on our second broker and probably our fifth or sixth listing and about to resign for the day, when we found an incredible deal. It's a two bedroom (with HUGE bedrooms) that's completely newly renovated with new appliances (they still have the tags on them) and a small space for a living room, with essentially two half baths (one has a toilet and one has a shower and sink) and a kitchen big enough to put a small table in. It's really incredible! And it's 78th and 2nd, which is literally seven blocks from school. So, in short, I really hope we're able to get this apartment because it's gorgeous. We put in the application and all sources are pointing to a yes, our broker is just waiting to hear back from the landlord on a final decision. This shit is suspenseful.
Yesterday I had lunch with Kyle at a sushi place up on third, that probably has the best sushi in the world, and then walked over the Central Park and laid out in the sun for like, an hour and a half, and walked around for another three throughout Central Park and a little through midtown. I was getting tired and I had to pee, so I decided to get back on the subway and head home for the day.
Last night, Lauren and I met up for pizza, her friend Mallary joined us (who I now love), and we all headed up to our friend Josh's apartment in Harlem. Getting to the apartment from the subway was vaguely like walking through a Grand Theft Auto game, I will admit, but once we got to the apartment, it was fucking HUGE. The apartment was three stories tall with a living room, dining room, a washer/dryer, a STORAGE room... who has a storage room in NEW YORK? No one. Oh, and a full backyard with a grill. I mean, that's insane shit. I didn't even feel like I was in New York. But then, going back home was, again, like a GTA game except this time it was crazier because it was like 12am and a lot more people were out. So, that was a new experience. It was so nice to see people from school again! I love it... I'm so excited for school to start.
Today I feel kind of tired and I'm thinking I might have a lazier day today... I don't know. I feel like sleeping. But I probably won't do that because that's sad.
Watching Wayne's World. Note to self, please, at one point in life, purchase a collie with an 80's rock band haircut.
