...to fall in love with NYC! I am smitten!
This is a diary of my experiences as an intern:
_ P ∆ R T 1 : N E W Y O R K _
It's the end of my first full day here. I arrived into JFK yesterday lunch time, jumped into a cab (the fact I am loving yellow at the moment anyway just made it all more exciting to be in a yellow taxi for the first time) and was driven by the coolest rasta over to my apartment. The keys were stupid; it took me about half an hour to actually get into the flat but once in it was worth it. I have exposed brick work and a pet kitty!
So, I really didn't do much other than go out and buy beer and lucky charms, and then sit talking to my parents, friends and boyfriend on skype yesterday. I'm glad I took it easy though because it meant I could make the most of today.I got up really early and spent a couple of hours in bed researching like a real geeky tourist, then finally got the courage up to go exploring on my own. I walked down to the station, bought a Metrocard for the month (which cost a bomb) and jumped on a train into the city. Every landmark, big or small, that I saw got me excited. I love cities anyway, but there is something about New York that has always enticed me, and today it all became real. I am finally in NYC, and I bloody love it!
Sorry, jet lag has hit me; to be continued...
