Delay

Irene, why must you inflict your wrath upon me this weekend? I was supposed to leave for NY today, but now I'm leaving on Tuesday night. Someday I will look back on this and laugh. There have been so many roadblocks so far that have been involved with me getting to NYU and to NYC in general, that this hurricane is just the icing on the cake.

24 days and counting

There's just 24 days until I leave for NYC! I can't believe it. I have so much to do it just overwhelms me. I'm realizing what a hoarder I am. Packing is challenging because I'm such a sentimental soul, I hold on to things that bring back special memories. I like that I'm sentimental, but it doesn't help packing as I have way too much stuff! I got myself registered for two of my classes. So far, I am signed up for Storied New York and Press Ethics. I'll be taking one other class as well. I can't wait! It's going to be so interesting to take these classes and interact with other journalism students and just be a student again! Graduate school...it sounds so grownup! I also have been emailing my roommate-to-be and I'm excited to meet her. We will be living in a shared studio on the NYU campus. I'm going to be a dorm rat again! Life is such an adventure. Stay tuned. :)
