my forth day in the city started slowly, but i didn’t mind it that way. around noon, i prepared myself for the day, and jordan and i headed to kim’s to take advantage of her wireless internet. for some reason, everyone else’s computer seems to pick up the wireless signal here at the apartment – everyone’s but mine.
why am i not surprised?
(..name that movie.)
anyway, on the way, jordan and i got incredibly lost, and what should have been a ten minute walk turned into one that lasted almost an hour. however all was not lost, as it was a beautiful crisp day, and we found a tiny pastry shop called the donut pub that seemed to be calling our names. jordan chose a crème filled donut with chocolate frosting, and i treated myself to a deliciously moist, sugar-free blueberry muffin.
when we finally made it to kim’s, we lounged, chatted, and blogged for most of the afternoon. she treated us to coffee and fresh cookies, and i also got a taste of real indian tapioca. its orange, and unfortunately does not taste like the kind my grandma bea makes.
eventually, we headed back to the apartment for a bite to eat and a hairspray-the-musical jam session.
super refreshing – not to mention a ton of fun.
at six o’clock that night, we had an orientation meeting for new york cares, our volunteer organization for the month of january. the meeting was really motivational – i’m excited about the opportunities we have to serve the nyc community. hopefully i can start as soon as possible.
the evening ended with some much needed budgeting and a phone call with my mom – love her.
ps. my sister got a boyfriend. :)

I hope you don't mind my commenting, but I've noticed something interesting about your and your classmates' NYC posts. You guys talk about food a lot. Donuts, tapioca, buck-a-slice pizza, applesauce, bagels... it's kind of funny (in a good way). It sounds like you've dropped into this new, unfamiliar place, this urban jungle, and your primal instincts have kicked in. Your brains seem to be saying, "First things first! We've got to survive. Where's the food?" You make yourself comfortable in the new place by confirming that familiar basics are available. Interesting! Keep having fun!
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled that your internet doesn't work and you must visit me in the morning. Is that selfish?
