Haylo Chicas! I survived the blackout!! It was quite an experience. Our power didn’t come back till 7:40pm on Friday. 27 hrs!! Thankfully, my family wasn’t on the subway or in an elevator. NYC was definately strange. The bars and resturants in my area were packed at all times of the day. Not sure why people would choose to get drunk and become dehydrated in the heat and dark?!?! Most stores were closed, and I don’t even want to know how that is going to effect the economy. Little delis and pizza stores were trying to sell anything that wasn’t spoiled. I even survived with no traffic lights and running water. (Apt buildings’ water pumps are electric.) Everything else is going pretty well. Been emailing back and forth between my future aptmates. They are all older than me, but sound really nice. One of them described herself as sarcastic, happy/funny drunk, and pretty much down to earth. Its like we are twins! Orientation is Sept 3rd. I move to Boston Sept 7th, classes start Sept 8th. Registered for classes already. 4 classes, each 2.5 hrs. I was fortunate enough to cram them into 3 nites. Still not sure if I have an internship my first semester. Now for some shout outs:
Dawn: I can’t believe you sold Bessie. That car was major part of my college career. sniff sniff. I hope you received your bathing suit, I sent.
Jen: Yayayay, I am glad everything is flowing with the interview process. Don’t forget us little people.
Shira: Your in Cali already?!?! WOW!! thats soo cool. My friend Pia might be moving to San Francisco, which means I’d have 3 friends and some family in that state. Gonna have to see how far you guys are from each other.
