New York says 'Hi'

It's been 10 days since I arrived and I am still counting my blessings. God has been so faithful and really, He has been my provider ever since. Long story short, I found an apartment that met all our (my roommate and I) preferences in just two days. And we got awesome furniture from our neighbor, IKEA and bedbathandbeyond at a bargain on the day we moved in. I really couldn't ask for more.

Classes began last week. I must say that I am impressed with the architecture; the prewar buildings, I don't think I'll ever get bored just marveling at them day after day. Columbia U is obviously HUGE. I spent more time hunting down classrooms than actually being in the class itself. Madness. But all's good, I'm adjusting and adapting.

The boyf has left just this morning. I feel like a part of me has left too. Nevertheless, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. So I'll be strong and conquer the city, well at least for the next 11 months because living here is ridiculous. Being me, it's almost impossible to save. I'll be a hobo when I turn grey.

Anyways. Summer is officially over. I've settled in, I've done the tourist-y thing. It's time I go kick butt.

Hello, grad school.
