She Writes!
Hey everyone! gah, can you believe this? I haven't written in soooooooooooooo long. Owell.
NYU is absolutely fabulous. There are so many awesome places to eat and shop. I am becoming addicted to this thrift store on McDougal St., with is really still Washington Square West but it changes names. My purchases thus far:
One silver brooch and earring set leaf design $15
One aqua cashmere(!!!) J. Crew sweater $6
One pink silky Peter Pan collar
and short puff sleeved blouse $1
Can you believe it?! I went crazy because I couldn't believe my luck. Seriously, if you look long enough, you find all sorts of awesome stuff. I found this copper silk evening dress with a 30's open back for fifteen bucks that I ADORE but have decided that I must not waste anymore money because I feel an addiction coming on. However, a little two dollar skirt or buck shirt won't kill me. I'm going to watch my expenses very closely b/c I know people have gone buck wild and flunked out broke. I'm currently very proud of myself because I'm able to get myself around and even direct others!
Here's the lowdown. I'm in a quad, so I have a roommate and two other suitemates. We share a bathroom and this little kitchnette area. Verena is my roommate and she's pretty cool. Alix and April are our suitemates. Verena has sophmore standing, she tested out of everything! I'm astounded and a lil jealous because she got lots of pain in the butt stuff out of the way. However, I don't know what I want to major in yet. Personally, I think that's healthy because we're still young and naive and undereducated. She's more on the quiet side, with a love of BSB, NSYNC, and Enrique Iglesias (Yikes!!)But she also likes Maroon 5, Coldplay and No Doubt and speaks German, French, and Spanish. Verena is a German citizen and has been here for 6 years. 1220 is like the Kraut Haus! Alix also speaks German and has a German background. Get this : Becker, Prescher, Mager, and Krueger. You can't get much better than that. April and I have more the same music taste and demeanor. April is all about the Ramones and The Clash, funky clothes and ballet. She graduated a year before us and took a year to try professional ballet. Kooky, huh? Alix was the salutatorian of her school, but we found out accidentally by looking at her photo album. She's also quiet and modest, very sweet.
All the guys here are hot, let's just clarify. And such sweeties too! Like have just met you in the elevator and will invite you up to their room so you can borrow their screwdriver. I was expecting a lot of rich, arrogant pretty boys but they're so cool. Plus, they're here so there's the smart factor. GAH! I AM SURROUNDED BY PERFECTION! and creepy guys in the park who talk to themselves. It all works out...
Speaking of which, the animals are Washington Sq Park are very tame. I had squirrels eating out of my hand (and then scratching my toes for more!!). I literally had a flock of pigeons and sparrows that numbered around fourty when I fed them some croissants I had totally Nagasakied in the microwave. I can see the Empire State Building from my window. There's a shop definitely for strippers two blocks from here and Anti-Bush protestors swarming the park. There are drag queens and gays, posh business women and bicyclists, and little old me. New York, New York it IS a wonderful town! ...and for my next trick, laundry!
Next entry, my floormates, Mary Kate and Ashley siteings, Rocky Horror Picture Show, and drunk boys from Jersey
