itsss a beautiful day in the neighborhood

oh hey! today was absolutely beautiful. it also happened to be my first day of work! i only went in for a little over an hour but i get an awesome vibe from the office and all the people working there. its the office of student activities and programs at TC, so it'll be cool doing programming on a graduate level!

also, further proof that the world is small: one of my supervisors used to be a director of greek affairs at another institution and knew the former president of theta, mari ann callais! and knew all about her freakin guitar. bahaha.

i had some problems with my loans so after work i went to financial aid and they were soo nice and helpful... downside of that was i spent a good hour this afternoon running all over morningside heights to get the right paperwork sent to my lender. ahh gotta love it. also spent a good 45 min in the columbia bookstore/b&n with my suitemate kate, who shares the same nerdy adoration for school supplies that i do. fortunately i managed to practice some frugality and only picked up a well-needed binder.

i promise i will have some awesome pictures of the campus up soon i just keep forgetting my camera... and this place is a zoo right now with the undergraduate convocation happening today. their move-in was so calm and organized looking... strange compared to the nuthouse i remember ramapo being.

yesterday i did some wandering around the neighborhood and found some awesome stuff on the broadway side of campus... decided i DO NOT LIKE pinkberry (too tart!).. and even went to the gym (we all know how monumental that is). the gym is 4 floors and all underground , its quite bizarre but super cool!

tomorrow is orientation alllll day followed by a happy hour ... i will be sure to report back obvs, and my first class is thursday night! eek! the juiceball extraordinaire cucch is supposed to be visiting me wed for a wine tasting so more to come on that as well, and seamus is being forced to venture to central park with me on friday! (dont worry mom its only 10 blocks away)

alright like i said, def more pictures ASAP!
xoxo
