much better
Okay. I love NYC now.
This morning all my roommates went to work, so I had the place to myself. First things first, as soon as I showered I called about the broken stove. I claimed we had a gas leak so they'd come quickly and they did - it took all of 20 minutes for them to get here. Turned out the problem wasn't a big deal at all. So now I have a working oven and stove!!! I'm so pleased.
After that I read for a while, talked to my mom on the phone...it was rainy and miserable so I didn't really do much. Once Katie and Celeste got back though Celeste and I went to the gym. Their gym is nice, but it's no CRC ;-) When we got out of the gym it had stopped raining, so we decided to venture downtown!!
I got my monthly subway pass (unlimited rides, which is sweet, since each ride is $2) and we went down the 34th st. Old Navy. I bought a sweater since it's so cold in our apt and it was only $6.97. yesss sales. Then we went to Kmart to look for cheap microwaves and didn't have much luck. We also went to Brookstone's for the sole reason to sit in massage chairs (see pictures) and after walking around a bit more, decided to buy poster board and make a Summer to-do list because there were so many things we were talking about that we had to do. I'm excited to start checking things off! See pictures for full list, which will be added to later of course!
After adventuring/making the to-do list, Celeste and I had dinner (I stir-fried my leftovers from Ollie's...sooooo good) and the skyline looked gorgeous so I took more pictures. Now we're going to watch some Lost, always a fun pastime :)
I am definitely going to get used to living here really quickly. I love it already...the city is so exciting.
Tomorrow I'm having lunch with Mickey and then meeting up with Marla for some shopping and we're meeting Jesse for dinner. Ohhh exciting things...
Annndd...
My subway stop - 116th st.

Celeste in the massage chair, before I got yelled at for taking pictures.
The to-do list.
The next couple pictures are the view from my common room window...
And these are from my bedroom window
