A Dazzling Place I Never Knew...
Hi Family and Friends,
I'm here in New York now. It's my second day here. I'm at my friend Adrian's place in Manhattan and it's nice and warm in here. He lives in a nice studio apartment right in Midtown... close to Times Square and all that hooplah. My first day was pretty tame. I was outdoors for a grand total of about 3 hours. It was pretty flipping cold so I decided to stay in with my computer on my lap and the TV remote in my hand. I ate nachos and had NY cheesecake. I cried for a little bit then I went to sleep. It's a new day and it's not so cold. I'm waiting for my landlord to tell me if my room is ready to move into. In the meantime, I'll be staying here in noisy Manhattan.
I think today I might venture out into the wild and find something to do. It's weird to not have to go to work or do any errands yet. I don't start work at Starbucks until January 2nd. I'll be working in Astoria. Woot.
I'm SOOOO tempted to go shopping at H&M and all the other shops that I love so much here... but I am going to exhibit some self-control and stay away!
I have a few friends out here who I will be catching up with in the next few days. I'm also going to be helping my mom's friend throw a New Year’s Eve party at his beautiful apartment in Union Square. It'll be nice to be indoors for New Year’s Eve. I don't think I ever want to do the Times Square thing.
Anyway, for those of you who don't know, I will be living in Jackson Heights, Queens with a friend I met at UCSD. She was a graduate student in the MFA Acting Program. We're both renting from an older graduate of the MFA Acting program at UCSD. It's gonna be so nice to live with someone I already know!
Ok that's all I have for now. I'm working on trying to get my webcam and iChat and Skype all set
up so I can talk to you and see you online.
I'll try to keep everyone updated on my move, especially when I move into the apartment. I want you guys to see how sweet it is!
Oh and for all you folks who have been out here before, feel free to make any suggestions of places I should check out. I'm always down to try new things and see cool places.
LOVE YOU!
Z
