Reporting live from Garden Apartment 25-3-3 in Ithaca, New York, here I am. I cannot even explain how strange it is walking around campus and going downtown and just...being here. Today was an incredibly long day, and I'm not really making it shorter by being up until 2:30, but there's just something about being here that makes me want to stay up til forever doing nothing. I haven't stayed up this late since I started working this summer, it's beautiful. The weather is so perfect outside right now, we had a crazy downpour thunderstorm at like 8:00 and suddenly 97 dropped to 75. I made my first trek up to the Terraces, and it was actually really nice in this weather (we'll see what happens when it gets colder/rains).
I have really mixed feelings about my room. I'm really happy to be in Gardens, I've got my own bathroom and my own kitchen and so much SPACE. I have more drawers and shelves than I know what to do with, which is incredibly different than last year. But on the other hand I'm really far away from everything, and living in a regular dorm and having a whole floor of people is definitely something I'm going to miss. One thing I can say though, after spending endless hours alone in my room last year, and then from like 8-11 tonight, I will be so incredibly glad to have a roommate. We'll see how long that excitement lasts haha. But my room is so DISGUSTING. I walked around today with bare feet and they were completely black...the water in the shower turned murky brown, it was beyond gross. Looks like Lauren and I have a project tomorrow...floor cleaning! Other than the nastiness, I have all my stuff basically unpacked...all I have left is putting up posters, and I'm sort of waiting for Lauren to do that, and sort of just lazy. I'll put room pictures on facebook once everything is all set up, right now this room is so Amy-fied it makes me sick. It needs some balance. There are so many things wrong with me, honestly a very technologically advanced five year old could be living in this room and nobody would question it.
I love being here. I can't believe that I'm actually here. Really.
