I'm at college... feeling pretty numb about it actually, very overwhelming in a quiet kind of way. I'm living on the 9th floor, across from the park, it's actually very beautiful. I have been feeling pretty anti-social, everybody here seems so 'new york', i've mostly been sitting in the park, wishing the library was open, or wondering how my meal plan works.
I went book shopping yesterday, 180 dollars!!!!! for just 2 freaking classes. And everything here is just soooooo expensive. I have to find a job or something because right now it looks like I only owe money. my roommate decorated our dorm, so i owe her a lot for that, and right now, i'm not sure how my meal plan works so i haven't really eaten in a while.
not so many of the freshmen guys are gay, they seem to have gotten more than their share of testosterone... all they can think about is getting laid, and pretty much a lot of the girls feel the same way. it works out. what do they call that again? i think it's mutualism.
more positively, the park is really nice, except for all the smokers (lung cancer!!) and the people who ask for money. I met Christine from Mannes there, and we ended up sitting and talking there till midnight. I am so hungry right now I can't even think properly...
new e-mail: cc1684@nyu.edu, phone: 703-203-9618 (calling after 9 p.m. or on weekends is usually best. ^-^)
And I still haven't figured out my address.
good luck everyone.
