No More (Almost)

          It is finally official. We now live in the city. It took us almost a month, but now we are here, in our own apartment, and we don't have to take a bus back to New Jersey until Thanksgiving at my aunt's house. Looking back, it doesn't seem like we've been away from home for three and a half weeks. Even with all of the difficulties that go along with moving to New York, time has moved quickly, for me at least. To be honest, I haven't felt truly homesick yet. Everything over here is still so new and exciting. Of course, I miss my close friends. There are times when I think of something funny to say, on the subway or walking down the street, but there is nobody there to say it to. Thinking about it now, I realize how lucky I am to have so many great friends. Friendships that seem to have plateaued at the pinnacle of friendship. Friendships that define friendship. I feel like it is unusual to find so many wonderful people in one spot, and all where I happen to be. I wonder if I will be so lucky over here.

          Anyways, enough with all of that. Like I said, we have moved into our apartment! Of course, it's an ongoing process. We do have a bed, and two wood chairs that I bought the other day from the City Opera thrift shop. But we are still missing a few essential items, like a table, a couch, a dresser, a garbage can, ice trays, laundry baskets, and a mop. So our place is a mess right now, but we're working on it.

          Oh, also, remember how last time I said I got a job at Whole Foods? Well, I'm actually not going to work there. The day after I told you about that, I got a call from another job I applied to. It's called Appellation Wine & Spirits. It's a wine shop specializing in organic and biodynamic wine, and I start today. Yeah, it's fancy, but I'm actually going to be the delivery guy, which isn't that fancy. But, (unlike at Whole Foods), I will have a set schedule every week, and I won't have to wake up at 4am to go throw frozen fish around. Plus, employee wine tastings!

          Kyha still likes her job. The people she works with are still cool. They even let her get off work early on Saturday so we could go see the Lion King on Broadway (with the tickets my awesome sister bought for us), which was incredible! Also, I think Kyha is really glad we don't have to ride that bus back out to New Jersey at 10:00 at night.

          I'm also going to complain about the humidity over here. It is awful. The subway stations are awful. I'm not used to just standing around and sweating, constantly. Seriously, I'm not a sweater, but I've been doing an uncomfortable amount of sweating. Luckily we don't pay for water, because I'm gonna be taking a lot of showers.
