Arrival

Just so everyone knows, I arrived safe and sound in New York and have settled in well. There is a really great bunch of people here, and on the first night a few of us got together and went to a local restaurant, and then afterward went up on to the roof of the college where there are few tables and chairs awash in ambient lighting, and offering beautiful views of the city. A few people sat around strumming guitars and singing original songs which were really funny, and we told jokes and stories of home til midnight then all went to bed. Nice way to start the year if you ask me. Here's a photo of the view from my window onto Broadway Avenue.

Graduation

Well, I finally managed to graduate. Not that it was that hard. Everyone assumed I worked really hard to get such good grades, that I slogged it out...but to be honest, I rather enjoyed the whole thing, and often in my mind it feels like I didn't do any work at all. And then I remember writing essays up at 2am. Yeah, I worked hard.
