yes. yay.<br />
while fashion week was extremely fun, it was also a ton of work, and wednesday, when i got back to the office after the rachel zoe show i was ready to go to sleep, but instead i got to work another four hours. the rachel show was a bit hectic. just really hot and a lack of communication on a few factors.<br />

so mayebelline and essie were the make up people behind all our shows. representatives have been in the office for a few weeks putting together nail polish and make up kits for the shows and its been so hard not to just run back there, shove it all in a bag and take off. well today, i found out they literally just threw out all the make up they had left over. so after work, my friend stefanie and i went dumpster diving. and we have no shame. because as we put it, we got more money out of the dive than the internship. they literally threw out over a thousand dollars worth of make up. and i made off with a good size loot. </div>

im seriously become a celebrity magnet in the city. on our walk to the subway, stefanie and i saw a red carpet and a crowd, but it was a small theatre, so i didn't think anything of it. she told me to get my phone ready just in case, and sure enough it was the nyc premiere of don jon and BOOM there was joseph gordon levitt. we made eye contact a few times, and im expecting a call tomorrow. </div>

<br />
when i was in london, <a href="http://euro-shenanigans.blogspot.com/2012/10/high-tea-20-and-brighton.html">i went out to tea </a>for my friends birthday at fortnum and mason. when we were there, i saw a family - a mom, dad, and two sons, both in private school uniforms while the parents were dressed oh so properly, and i thought, this is normal life for them. pick the boys up from school and go to a late afternoon tea. when i was done with school, it was either soccer practice or just go home to do homework, all while driving myself around.<br />
<br />
today during my morning run through central park, i saw a mom and dad walking their two daughters and son, all in private school uniforms, to school, and i thought what a routine. for me, it was be driven by my mom or drive myself to public school.<br />
<br />
all the schools here are obviously in one big building, which i cannot even fathom. i always wanted to attend a school indoors, as thats what i grew up watching in the movies or on tv. but i loved going to an outdoor school. having that fresh air between classes was always pleasant. and it didn't hurt going to school five minutes from the beach either. also, kids who go to schools in the city don't usually have a field to play on. its cement courts and tracks.<br />

<br />
just an interesting thing to consider. how all over the world kids are being brought up differently and how it molds them.<br />
<br />
even if i stay in new york for years to come, i don't think i could ever raise a family in the city. growing up in a small town, i got to experience so much that i wouldn't want my kids to miss out on.<br />
i really do love living in this city. though there are days i miss my car, the beach, sitting out in my backyard drinking wine and hearing NO noise but nature...but its a give-and-take world.<br />
<br />
the city really is starting to grow on me. i am definitely getting a great groove here. not going to lie, august...was miserable. i moved to a HUGE new city, all alone, moved five different times, dealt with a foot injury, lived out of a suitcase, and just was not as happy as i thought i would be. now im in an amazing apartment, i have all my belongings, im getting close with the interns at work, and things are just going for me. now if only i could get a job...<br />
<br />
one thing i will say still, though its a huge help, the subway PISSES. ME. OFF.<br />
<br />

<br />
so friday night i had the pleasure of working the <a href="http://www.billyreid.com/">billy reid</a> show. it was not at lincoln center, but this old, no longer running hotel in chelsea. the runway was in the rooftop garden and it was beautiful.<br />
<br />
i was helping out with backstage and vip check in. things for the most part went smoothly. i was able to ride the elevator with <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=will+forte&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=yCstUu6TC7iq4APZvoGYDg&sqi=2&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1684&bih=905#q=matt+bomer&tbm=isch">matt bomer</a> and <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=will+forte&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=yCstUu6TC7iq4APZvoGYDg&sqi=2&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1684&bih=905">will forte</a>. matt was gorgeous and flawless, but shorter than i expected.<br />
<br />
once everyone was checked in, i got to go upstairs and watch the show. while the clothes were not to my personal taste for mens fashion, i felt the clothes/atmosphere/music/entire aesthetic was PERFECT. the music was actually a live orchestra and it was phenomenal.<br />

when six rolled around, i entered through the backstage of the white tents and met up with the other interns and our bosses. it was a confusing ordeal, because monique is not our client, but we still went to help out. however, no one gave the interns instructions at first and we were all literally just standing backstage for thirty minutes. finally we were taken to the actual tent and were told to just stand there <i>again </i>and help guests find their seats if necessary. i stood there for about twenty minutes, watching the models practice, the light crew get everything right and the music guys testing volume.<br />

friday night - billy reid</div>

saturday night - monique lhuillier</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
next week - rachel zoe and wes gordon</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
here i will be helping out backstage, or helping with check in, or escorting people to their seats. i am super excited for this opportunity.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
today at work one of our brands was hosting a casting for bathing suit models. so i showed up to work with about four 6'+, stick thin girls walking around the office in their bathing suits. quite the morning surprise.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
there is already an increased amount of energy in the office and i love it. i thrive off that. i am personally not SUPER busy because the two AEs that i work for do not have clients showing at fashion week, so its not as crazy for me as the other interns, but i still manage to stay pretty busy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
so im off to get my beauty rest because i have some long days ahead of me. enjoy your weekends!</div>

this morning i moved into my new place, got my bed, got a dresser, and ventured into bed bath and beyond. unfortunately most of my belongings are still on their way to me, but i am just so happy to be settled. i LOVE my new place. its HUGE for nyc standards, clean, in an amazing neighborhood on the upper west side and its with an amazing roomie, so i am feeling very blessed. there are also about five fro-yo places in a 2 block radius, so im definitely happy on that front.<br />

i am so happy. now im just waiting for my wall decor and i need a few more pieces of furniture. but i am starting to feel more like a new yorker every day. how long must one live in the city to safely call themselves a new yorker? or is there a checklist of things one must do? like steal someone elses cab?</div>
<div>
so far, to feel more like a new yorker, i have:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>hailed multiple cabs</li>
<li>taken the bus</li>
<li>moved furniture by hand numerous blocks and avenues to avoid taking a taxi or paying for movers</li>
<li>i work here....</li>
<li>i have an apartment...</li>
<li>given CORRECT directions</li>

that night, i met my future roommate, alex, at a bar called <a href="http://www.publichousenyc.com/">public house</a> for an hour of open bar. <i>yes, an hour of open bar.</i> one of her friends won it and 50 of their friends could go. i thought it would be a great way to actually meet some people in this city.<br />
<br />
twas great to get out and socialize and explore the lower east village.<br />

it was pretty cool to see all these athletes. all tall, fit and gorgeous. the cocktail party was so classy and swanky. it was a great experience to work the event. when i first imagined my life in nyc, i pictured myself going to these classy industry parties...except i was a guest, not working it ;) but i still enjoyed it. i was so official upfront with my ipad and guest list.<br />
<br />
*fun fact: i actually had no idea who any of these players were. so when sloane stephens and her mom (who were technically hosting the party) came to the door, i said, 'good evening! are you here for the event? can i have your last name please?' wow. MAJOR FAIL. thankfully there was such a commotion over her arrival, i don't really think they heard me...hopefully. shake it off.<br />

<br />
in college they tell you - sleep, social life, good grades - pick two. i managed to get by through college picking sleep and social life with decent grades. hey, i graduated and am in New York, so obviously i did something right.<br />
<br />
as for the three b's, thats tough. i would probably choose booze and brunch, so i could have bottomless mimosas at brunch, or wine in the evenings. i could do without bagels...how unjewish of me is that?!<br />
<br />
however, since i managed to pick two and half options in college, im going to believe i can manage to do the same with the three b's.<br />
once i get my workout clothes/running shoes shipped over, it'll help me manage them all.<br />

this week is the last week before fashion week craziness happens. basically two weeks of being at the office from 930am - anywhere from 9pm to 1am. YAY!<br />
today was a bit tough. it was a long day and there was not much to do. i ended up running four errands - buy plastic forks, mail some letters, pick up charts, buy lightbulbs, all in the rain...yeah, not the most glamorous tasks. it made me a little antsy to start applying to jobs asap, but I am being patient and putting in the work and my dues at this place.<br />

this trait of mine has proven to bring lots of stress when i think about the future. i like to know my plan of action - for the next five steps. it helps in the work world, when i try to be five steps ahead of myself, but for my future, it is frustrating.</div>

there are so many things i want to do with my life, so many places i want to go. if you haven't noticed yet, i have added a new page to my blog - "32 Before 32" which, obviously, talks about thirty-two things i want to do before i am thirty-two. this list is pretty intense, as i would like to travel to all the continents (except antarctica) by the time im thirty-two. i may not accomplish everything, but i will try.</div>

last night i was talking with my friend megan and we were discussing what we would want to be if we could do anything we wanted. </div>

<div>
- be a pop/rock star : the idea of getting up on stage in front of thousands of people who are singing your lyrics back to you? i just think that could be the most invigorating experience. however, i have zero singing capability. so this isnt a matter of being afraid to go after my dream, this is a matter of not having any talent to go after my dream<br />

- be on SNL : this plan is a bit more attainable. along with singing, i just think that having a job that is just about trying to make people laugh would be so much fun. i have played around with the idea of taking some improv classes in nyc just for shits and giggles. but yes, being the next tina, amy or kristen, i'd be okay with that ;)</div>

<br />
it is so crazy how memories work. i was not surprised to find out smell is the strongest sensory memory, but taste is also a huge one for me. here are three things that trigger memories for me. of course there are hundreds, but these pop up to me right now<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>eating clam chowder makes me think of lion king 2</li>
<li>eating cheetoh puffs (oy vey, when was the last time that happened?) makes me think of the disney movie <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motocrossed">motocrossed</a> (ps totally didn't put together that the movie is based on twelfth night, just like she's the man...the world makes sense again)</li>
<li>fog - this smell has two as i distinguish two different types of beach fog. one brings me back to high school soccer nights games and makes me miss that terribly. the other type is more fresh and transports me back to morro bay with its fog and ice plants, back when i was younger and my family would go there every weekend to spend shabbat with family friends and those days were some of the best days of my life</li>
</ul>

i find it so fascinating how we can instantly be taken somewhere by a taste or smell.</div>
<div>

<br />
anyways, today i have moved into my FIFTH accommodation and, thankfully, last until my new place. i am just so tired of moving around, but in two weeks i will be in my new home! speaking of which, i bought my bed today, so it is starting to get more official!<br />
at the moment i am staying in an adorable studio in gramercy...with a mouse. the tenant had no idea there were mice here and after five minutes of being in the place, i saw one scamper across the kitchen. immediately i went out and bought mouse traps :/ unfortunately i have to walk through the kitchen to get to the bathroom, and im a bit apprehensive to do that. however, as long as the little guy keeps to himself, or goes in the trap, we will be okay.<br />
<br />
i also dropped off my laundry at a laundromat for the first time! and i was an total obvious newb.<br />
<i>i put the clothes where? can i just leave them here? when do i pay? here is how you wash my clothes blah blah blah</i><br />
the laundry man just laughed at me<br />
<br />

im googling affordable ways to get involved around the city, as it is still kinda lonely :/ thinking of signing up for a soccer league which is always a great way to meet people and get a work out, so win win.<br />
<br /></div>
Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3710122649670448776.post-55643473142942846392013-08-15T18:20:00.000-07:002013-08-15T18:20:15.306-07:00for what its worth...the mother has left the city, and i am once again, solo.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
thankfully i am starting to become good friends with the other interns, and once i am finally settled in my new apartment, i will start getting more involved in the city through clubs, or sports...you know, with all the free time i have.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
today someone in our office dropped her phone in the toilet and we needed to put it in some rice. there was no rice in the office, so an intern went out on the errand to buy rice...</div>
<div>
later our office ran out of light bulbs for something and needed someone to quickly go buy more, so out i went. as i was going down the elevator, a service man who was at the desk when i was given the task made a comment about how interns are treated like trash and are forced to kiss ass to get the job they want.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
that made me think about the talk the ceo gave us, and how she said when she graduated from college, it was so easy to get a job. for my generation, it most certainly is not. and yeah, this internship comes with tasks that sometimes make me think, <i>this is what i moved out here for?!</i> but i know this work will pay off. and im counting on it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
even though it would be nice to just get my dream job or at least a job in my dream company right away, i would rather have to put in the grunt work to get there, because it will just make it that more satisfying. but im not gonna lie, if glamour or self magazine were to walk into our office tomorrow and office me a position there, i would sure as hell take it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
sometimes as i walk the city, i wonder - is this where i want to be? of course it is. i have been dreaming about coming to nyc since i was a freshman in high school. i continuously pinch myself to remind myself that i really have made it here...physically.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
im still in the awkward transition period where i am not in my 'home', so i dont feel completely settled, and i haven't completely gotten into my rhythm. i don't know where i will be going to get my groceries, to get my laundry done, to go to the gym...and i am not a creature of uncertainty. i like to know whats going to happen five steps from now. so this experience is good in teaching me to be okay with uncertainty. a wise, loving person once told me how important it is to be able to sit with uncertainty in your life. so thats what im doing. im 'sitting' with uncertainty. i know i have this internship till i run out of money, but i dont know when ill get a job - the goal is to be employed by my birthday, november 25, which shows i am also very optimistic haha.</div>
<div>

<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
but im in a good place with good contacts and a good possibility of getting to where i need to be.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
if all fails, or i do end up getting my 'dream' job and i find that this place is not for me, it is good to know california, or even london, will always be there. yes. id love to move to london. anglophile forever and always.<br />

<br />
well it is just about the greatest idea ever. so many companies in new york have summer fridays, in which companies shut down early. hell. yes.<br />
<br />
to continue with amazing news, one of my good friends that i met whilst studying abroad last fall in london starts an internship with the company i am working for on monday! its such a small world and i am so stoked to have another friend in the city!<br />
<br />
and speaking of small worlds, in the two weeks i have been in the city i have met FOUR people from san luis obispo/5 cities area. wth right?!<br />
<br />
anyways, this weekend was spent being a complete tourist. why?! well my mama came to nyc and is visiting with my cousin till wednesday! it was great to see a familiar face, to spend quality time with family, and to actually eat full meals ;)<br />

saturday morning we walked around the upper east side a bit. another great thing about this city? on saturdays in august they shut down park avenue to cars and its only for bikers and pedestrians to ride/walk/run up and down. it was such a beautiful day for that as well.</div>

after breakfast we really wanted to show my cousin around as much as possible because it was her first time to the city! we went to tiffanys and drooled over the diamonds. oh em gee were they beautiful.</div>

we walked around 5th avenue for awhile before heading down to soho to do some more affordable shopping. lunch of course had to come from chinatown! i googled a dim sum place and hoped for the best. the door was hidden by some barricaded building and looked a little sketchy, but we proceeded inside. Once inside, we took a long escalator up and were taken back to find this amazing space waiting for us! quite impressive! it was huge and very good, though we couldn't really understand what anything was...which makes sense why my stomach rejected the dim sum a few hours later :/ but ill spare any details on that.<br /><br />

after lunch we went back to lay down for a bit and rest our feet. mine are still not acclimated to the new york style of life. we then met up with a family friend to walk around the FiDi (financial district) and see the freedom tower. quite impressive! we walked around a bit more before i returned to my room to rest as the dim sum was not diggin my stomach.</div>

this was just followed by more exploring before going to see a movie. movies here cost $14.00 a person!!!! ridiculous. <u style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">however,</u> the theatre was the most ridiculously amazing theatre ever! the seats were like first class plane seats, maybe better. so wide. so comfy. and...<i>they reclined.</i> so much leg room. it was insane. i probably could have fallen asleep. so amazing</div>

after the movie we went to ellens diner in times square. its a regular diner, except all the waiters and waitresses are trying to get on broadway, so in between serving tables, they take turns singing songs. quite entertaining.<br />

Whew. I have just been absolutely exhausted this week. I am
a workingwoman and I am not used to it!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first few days at the internship have been fabulous and
I already feel really comfortable here. Well, the first two days were kinda
slow for one reason – each intern is paired with an AE, account executive,
basically helping them out as well as doing daily tasks. Right now, the summer
interns are still in the office so there is not much work for us a fall interns
yet. I try to make myself as useful as possible, because I need this internship
to lead to a job, but my first two days were spent cleaning the kitchen a lot
and taking out trash. The third day really picked up though!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Basic tasks include –<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->clipping
– reading magazines every morning (yes, I get to read magazines for work) to
check to see if our clients are in the pages<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->cleaning
– making sure the kitchen, bathroom and showroom are always clean. Not
glamorous, but necessary<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->checking
samples in and sending them out. All day we are getting garment bags from huge
magazines, stylists and clients or sending out bags to them. This is exciting
because I just get to handle amazing clothing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of my favorite things is when stylists or editors come
in and pull a rack of clothing from the showroom for their shoot. Once the
stylist leaves, we take all the clothes to the AE that represents that brand
and they decide if we can send them or not.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What is crazy is how a stylist can come pull a full rack of
clothing and accessories and maybe 4 things are approved for various reasons –
the clothes are already promised to someone else, or the AE feels the brand
shouldn’t be in such ads. It is really interesting. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Everyone at the company is SO nice. Wednesday morning one of
the CEO’s came in early to spend a whole hour with the interns just answering
our questions, which I thought was amazing and cool.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The new interns are given a few weeks to test out the
different departments – fashion, accessories, beauty or lifestyle, and then we
pick who we want to be paired with for the remainder of the internship. I
really want to be in the accessories department…duh. However, Tuesday my
supervisor asked if I could help out a Junior Account Executive and I agreed.
Turns out, I am filling in for her half of Thursday, Friday and Monday for when
she goes on vacation! So I am basically a Junior Account Executive!! This is
totally crazy considering it’s my first week. So Wednesday she basically tried
to train me the job in one day. Hopefully I won’t drown!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When work is done, I am usually exhausted with sore feet,
but Tuesday I met an old friend from California, Hannah, for dinner. She is the
one person I knew coming here, even though I hadn’t talked to her in years.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was so nice to chat and get the inside scoop from someone
– she has lived here for a few years.<o:p></o:p></div>

i quickly realized that i got to nyc a bit too late in the month to find a place by august 1, so then the panic set in that i needed to find a place for august to stay until sept. 1 leases started.<br />
<br />
talk. about. stress.<br />
<br />
not gonna lie, i have been so full of anxiety all week. but friday night, at 9pm, i found someone renting their room for one month. praise baby jesus. i have bought myself another month to feel slightly settled and find a good place for september.<br />
<br />
oy to the vey<br />
<br />
between all the panic attacks, i managed to go out and enjoy some parts of the city. i decided to go to the MET because they were having a special exhibit on punk fashion. if i couldn't go to this years met ball (punk theme), this was the next best thing.<br />

later in the evening, i found an area of new york that i have completely fallen for and immediately decided the moment i could buy a place, or at least up my monthly budget, this is where i will live - the west side by the hudson. its so beautiful with the views of lower manhattan and new jersey. there are running paths and piers and it almost is like i am living by the beach again...<i>almost.</i></div>

<br>
hands down. london takes this trophy.<br>
why you may ask? oh let me tell you the ways<br>
<br>
<br>
<ol>
<li>the london tube is WAYYY cleaner. i never saw any garbage in the underground, as opposed to the garbage filled tunnels in nyc. the trains themselves are also cleaner.</li>
<li>the tube actually makes sense! please look at the two maps below and make a judgement.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

if the london map could talk, it'd say - <i>cheers mate! where you do you want to go? i can take you there because i basically run all over the city in every direction. i just want to help you out. and don't worry, i stop at every stop on my line. if your stop is not on this line, don't worry. i can easily make lots of connections and transfers. just enjoy yourself and sit back. </i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
now, of course i am so grateful for the subway. 8 million people, including myself, would be screwed without it. but i guess i was just spoiled with london's system</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. there are no beggars in the london tube. or if there are, i never saw them walking from cart to cart. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. how you enter!! in new york, you must slide your thin metro card like a credit card. in london, you can get a nice plastic card that you just quickly scan on the machine. so you can actually keep it in your wallet and just move quickly through scanning it as you head off to your destination. in new york, no such thing. its a swipe card that can easily be damaged by folding or water.</div>

6. this one isn't a big deal, but in london, there is an entrance/exit to the tube and thats it. once inside, you decide what direction you go. in new york, you have to find the right entrance - do you want to go uptown or downtown? like i said, not THAT big of a deal, but something to point out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">7. in new yorks defense, i am SO grateful for the AC always blasting in the tube. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">TGFAC!</div>

all in all, london just wins. this isn't meant to sound snooty, just a girl and her observations.</div>

<br />
for now, just an update as many of you have gotten small details, but not everything that has happened the past four days.<br />
<br />
so i got into nyc late sunday night!<br />
monday i hit the pavement early in the morning to start viewing apartments. i have come here with two overpacked suitcases and about seven boxes at home waiting to be sent out. the plan was to come and find a place to move in by the weekend, but that doesn't look like its going to happen.<br />
i saw four places monday, one tuesday, two wednesday, and 2 today. it is <u style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">crazy</u> what people considered living situations here.<br />
<br />
every heard of a railroad apartment? well its when you have to walk through every room to get to the next. in one of the places, i'd have to walk through my roommates room to use the kitchen and bathroom...pass. another place i could literally just fit a bed in the room...pass. another place i'd be living with a 50yo (she sounded younger on the phone!)...pass. and the other places just didn't work for various reasons.<br />
<br />
the first place i saw today actually looked great! the only drawback is, like most apartments, it doesn't have a doorman. not that i need one, except for when i need to ship my stuff here, there is no one to accept it...so i will have to figure that out. tonight i have another showing and it sounds promising as well. all i know, is i won't be moving in anywhere till the end of the month, so i am going to have to find a room to sublet just for august.<br />
<br />
now, onto the hospital visit...<br />
tuesday i spent about five hours in the hospital, but really it was more like thirty minutes of being examined, and 4.5 hours of waiting. monday night i was walking and my foot suddenly started hurting. it got to the point where i couldn't walk and was basically hopping around. i felt as ridiculous and i looked, but i was in SO much freaking pain. it didn't get better tuesday, so i went to the hospital. however, while waiting i got a call to come check out an apartment, and it didn't seem like i was going to be seen any time soon, so i left. (the apartment was a no go). after that i walked/limped/subwayed it over to another hospital (i now am familiar with two hospitals in the city). anyways, after waiting and waiting and waiting and being examined and x-rayed, and waiting) they said they couldn't find anything wrong and sent me home. the foot still hurts like hell, but its getting better. when i am not looking at places, i am staying in my room, icing and taking drugs, because it needs to be better by monday when i start my internship!<br />

<br />
so yeah, that has been my first few days here. the city is big and a bit lonely at the moment. i do wish i knew more people out here and its tough being alone, but i keep telling myself once i have a place to call home and my internship starts, ill get into a routine and hit my stride, so i am not worrying toooo much.<br />
<br />
i do, however, keep comparing nyc to london, but we will save that for another post.<br />
i just wanted to fill in all those confused about my hospital visit.<br />
