People in New York are definetly their own breed. Watching people on the subways, on the Columbia campus, and near NYU is at times like watching an animated fashion magazine and at other times like watching a rowdy Jerry Springer-esq show. It is wonderfully entertaining and multi-faceted. And there are so many good looking college men. They are all so well put together- the polar opposite of the average guy at Oregon State who always looks like he is either coming from or going to the gym. So, the east coast does have perks... and foremost among them is good people, and good places to eat, and lots of laughter with folks I really like.
Yesterday I had grand adventures with Eli and company- we went to the MOMA, then a meeting at the New York ACLU, had dinner at a great sushi place (we had one roll that was peanut butter and banana and eel), and then we rounded the evening off with a movie.
This afternoon I am going to curl up in the library at the Columbia School of Social Work and study for the GRE and read a novel and drink tea in my new complimentary Columbia spill proof mug.
p.s I found a work study job.
p.p.s This year is going to be amazing.
