I left Manchester teary eyed early sunday morning, the flight was spent mostly
in anticipation, for what I would find when I arrived.
We landed and I hailed a cab into the city, I arrived at FIT jet lagged and sweaty
as the heat here was incredible! But I got stuck right in meeting everyone, and I
was amazed at how nice people were. When I first moved to London people were
not very friendly and you had to get on with everything yourself, but here everyone
wants to help, which got me settled in straight away.
That night me, my roommate Holly
and my floor mate Chloe went out for "frozen yogurt" (its just soft ice cream)!
The next morning I wake to this view, and the madness that is classes
began and it was a haze of form filling and
"oh my god, your British! Thats soooo cute!"
I also got to experience the cafeteria for the first time, which is an
experience in itself! Its ridiculous the amount of food you get! Pretty
much a 3 course meal 3 times a day and they have everything,
mexican, sushi, deli. pizzeria, grill, salad bar, bagel stand!
The dorms, college studios and cafteria are all on one block,
so life is pretty sweet!!!
The next few days in between classes I managed to get some sight seeing done,
Times Square, and we took a trip on the Staten Island Ferry,
On Thursday, I had an amazing day, I walked from FIT to the highline, which is
an abondoned railway track which looks over the city, Me, Katie and Becca loved it,
heres the view,
We then walked all the way down town into the meat packing disrict, and down Bleeker
to the infamous Magnolia Bakery were we had cupcakes and home made lemonade!
The most amazing thing I have ever had! We Then walked through Washington Square
Park, through Soho, and had dinner in Little Italy! A great day!
The weekend was mission fake id and we got away with it!
My first order was of course a Cosmopolitan!
Me and Katie went out with all the girls from my floor and we partied
on the lower east side, ended up getting invited to a VIP club
with some rapper dude who was buying $300 Vodka for the table!
Only in NY!
And finally just a little something to keep me to reality in my room!
Thats it for week 1 but week 2 will soon follow!
