this week has been crazy and hectic! tuesday was orientation all day as well as the TC block party which was basically all of 120th between amsterdam and broadway being filled with food and other vendors. orientation was much more pleasant than undergrad or hs orientation.. the faculty here is so legit and scholarly . not to mention the different auditoriums and such are so beautiful and marvelous that i feel like i'm at hogwarts sometimes.
like all good days, after orientation was a happy hour down at the Pour House by 111th. the place was SO overly crowded with all the columbia alcoholics..i mean students.. that a bunch of us ended up going to a dive bar across the street. after dinner we figured hey lets keep the night rolling , so we went down to an awesome bar called The Gin Mill on 81st i believe. kate and i both needed things back in the apt so we walked back to 120th then hoofed it the 40 blocks south. woof! it was awesome weather and super nice out but everyone else thought we were out of our skulls for walking it. anywhoo the gin mill was fun and i loved it bc it reminded me of ramapo and gin buckets ... somehow gin always finds its way near me. i headed back with a few others around 11 or so and took the subway home haha!
wednesday was my first real day of work and it was awesome! the staff members are very upbeat, helpful, down to earth, and have senses of humor. it was a hectic day and i was definitely busy (check out the bulletin board near 160 thorndike for proof of my work haha!) but it was awesome. i stayed late to help work the wine & cheese welcome event for student organizations... and let me tell you... columbia catering is legitttt. as was the wine! there was no franzia blush here ... i guess those days are gone! after that .. kate's futon finally arrived! so we somehow put it together (im afraid to actually sit on it) and then we headed back down to the upper west side and did some shopping. a fun day indeed!
today ... ive been a total bum. i have my first two classes tonight and i'm excited and nervous! they both sound awesome though - the american college student , & women in higher education. i just got into the women in higher ed class this week because its a special topics course and was offeredkind of last minute, but im so excited for it!
im sure ill have lots more to say after classes...and i have to upload pictures still.
aurevoir!
