Next Stop-NYC!!

I'm waiting in the airport.  It still hasn't sunk in that I'm leaving.  I'm not coming home for 2 months.  I'm going to be in a city where I know 5 people--at best.

I think my nerves are starting to set in. And there is a crying baby 10 feet away from me.  Awesome.

So to combat my butterflies, I'll recap the past few days, and then predict what the next few days might be like.

Friday I came home.  It was weird to be home with parents and not much alone time for the weekend.  Its sometimes difficult for me to be around my parents for extended amounts of time (I mean a few days haha) because I'm not used to being asked so many questions and having people talk to me.  Don't get me wrong, I like spending time with them, it just takes some adjustments.

Saturday I went to Augusta for some shopping.  It was pretty lame, because I felt like I couldn't shop since I was about to be a resident of the fashion capital of the world. I came home, went to Kobe for dinner (yumm) and watched some tv with the parents.

Sunday was full of packing.  I forgot to get a picture of my room, but it was COVERED in clothes.  I am bringing 2 small carry ons with me, then my parents are bringing 3 checked bags--containing most all of my clothes and shoes, and some bedroom stuff too. I was pretty stressed out, just because I hate packing. 

Then came today.  And here I am, in the airport, waiting to begin the journey of a lifetime.  I think I'm more scared about screwing up at work and not making friends over anything else.  But I'm sure things will work out when I get into a good routine. 

Tonight I will be at the apartment alone.  I'm sure I will spend the evening exploring, and I have quite the to-do list for today:

• Unpack what I have for the apartment
• Buy a pillow
• Go to H&M in Herald Square--my favorite location
• Go to Forever 21, Nordstrom Rack, and Strand Books in Union Square
• Check out the Highline--a city park built on top of an old elevated railroad, it looks pretty cool and its in my neighborhood!
• Explore my neighborhood
• Find some relatively healthy dinner
• Try not to spend all of my money

My parents are coming up tomorrow with the rest of my things.  They will be staying in my apartment with me-so I'm sure it will be nice and cramped seeing as I only have 1 room, a very small kitchen, bathroom, and closet. 

That's about all I have to say. Hopefully things will go smoothly once I arrive at LaGuardia.  I'll post pictures of my new apartment soon!
