So we found a place! yes. I’m exhausted talking about that. Things are going well now but I do need to find a job. I think I have lost 5 lbs. since I have been here. Not eating much and walking A LOT will do that to you. We went out to a club the other night with some TFAers and went to a party in SO HO. the place was CRAZY nice. so huge it even had a elevator. Today I went to the Fashion Institute and walked around the fashion district. I want to buy fabric!

So tonight Katie’s Cousin’s cousin invited us over to his place in queens for Nantucket party. They made homemade vegan clam chowder with bread bowls and a TON of other tasty vegan foods. We brought sangria…….fits in nicely with the east coast theme right? ha ! it was fun. We stuffed our faces because it was the first time we have had non restaurant food. it was so good. people probably thought we were freaks! whatever. we sat on the roof for a while. the view of Manhattan was so crazy beautiful! ha plans for tomorrow 1. Find a place 2. Find a job.

I am having such a hard time here. All of my life I have had things pretty easy until now. This whole situation is stressing me out so much. It would be different if I had a job or had a place to stay but having neither of them is killing me. I’m glad I have such good friends helping me out. I called my mom the other day and after I got off the phone I felt helpless and started crying on a street corner in downtown Manhattan. So pathetic.

It pisses me off that we have to look for a 4-bedroom apartment. This whole roommate stuff is so stupid. Don’t get me wrong, I love Jeff and Mavi but putting them into this equation is making things harder. It would be so much easier to find a 3 bedroom where we want if we didn’t have to take care of them. I think I want to take it upon myself to find a place for ME and not worry about the rest.

I have a few interviews tomorrow. I hope they go well. Wish me luck! If I get a job that is less weight on my shoulders

We didn’t get it……still no place to live.

Ok here it goes…….I arrived here in NY thinking I had a place to stay because Julia one of my new roommates told us not to worry about a place. Well Sarah, the girl Julia set us up to stay with, had no where for us to sleep but in her bed or on a small love seat. So the first night I took the bed with her. Weird sleeping in bed with a stranger. I did that for a few nights alternating the love seat with Katie while we waited to move into out new place in East Flat Bush which later becomes a huge mistake for many reasons which I won’t go into here. I didn’t choose it. Katie and Julia picked it out before I got there. Well now what……they signed a lease…….We call the landlord explained our situation and asked for our money back. Luckily they are a nice couple and they agreed to give us our money back but they would only give us a portion of it now and another portion once they have found someone else to move in.

SO now the house searching starts again. Katie’s parents were in town for a conference so we moved our stuff again to their hotel in Time Square and stayed there with them. We looked for places but nothing we wanted. We then had to leave the hotel so Katie called a friend of a friend to see if we might be able to stay there. He said yes, so we trucked our stuff up to Greenpoint to stay with Harrison whom we come to find out only knew Katie’s friend for 8 hours in Italy while they were both backpacking. We stay with him for a few days while his roommate was out of town. We are still looking at apartments and not really finding what we want. We moral is getting low. We have to leave Harrison’s because his anal roommate is back.

We leave Harrisons at 9:30pm to go back to Sarah’s for the night. We are all tired, pissed, hungry. (I think I have lost 5 lbs in the last week walking all over the stupid city on top of seeing every subway station and being underground half the time) We wait forever for the G train. It doesn’t come. Find out they have moved it to one track because of construction. We then get on the wrong train. So we take a bus. We then have to wait for a transfer in getto town USA. Creepy! We finally make it to Sarah’s and she is not home or not answering the bell. Now what. It is now 1am. We started this at 9:30. We catch a cab and go to Julia’s bf place where they already had guests. 9 people crammed into a small apartment. I love sleeping on wood floors.

GOOD NEWS!!!! We found a place!!!!!!! It is so COOL!!! Can’t move in for a few days but I’m excited.
Oh and one night I went to “BED” with my friend Tayllor. We got the VIP tratment. Woo. Her friend spent crazy money so we could get a bed upstairs. Nuts. It was fun.

I’m done writing for now. this is such a long rammble. Sorry

Lets see…… I picked up my last paycheck today then made the long back breaking trek to the art building to donate my litho stone to the Art department at school. I don’t even know how I carried that thing. It’s a good 80-90lbs that I put into a backpack. I thought the straps were going to rip. So I walked all the way across campus since there is not really any parking near by, about to fall over on my back as the straps dig into my shoulders. I get to the office finally and tell the woman at the front desk that I want to donate this litho stone to Clint’s class. She then told me I should call Clint and talk to him about it. Uh huh….no way…I’m not carrying this thing back to my car. So I lied and told her I was moving out of state tomorrow, which is not a total lie. So it appears that as I was walking the zippers came undone and as I swung the backpack off my shoulders the this massive litho stone falls out of my bag and just nearly misses my toes, close call! Finally it’s out of my hands!!!

Later I met Katieand Jill on the hill to discuss some things about NY. Hung out at the Collective and Took some pictures in the Photo Booth. Some weird situation happened with me and one of my coworkers. haha….. or former coworker I should say. So weird. haha I then went to Dever with Katie, Jill, Jeff, Kinsey, Ridge, and his friend Ash(ley) to have dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory. Jill is running a half marathon tomorrow so she needed her pasta. Ever since I was child I have always wanted to eat in the train car and I thought maybe tonight is the nigght…..Nope….sniff sniff….I don’t think I’ll ever eat in the train car.

I don’t think I have enough room in my luggage for all the clothes I have left. I miss judged! AHHHH

Oooooof…….I ate too much tonight at dinner but it was so good! So uncomfortable. So I’m moving to NY on Tuesday. So nuts. I have packed most everything No sheets on my bed, no furniture in my room and I still don’t feel like I’m leaving. I spent the day today running errands to get things in order before I leave. I still have a bunch of stuff that I need to get to people. I have to drive home sometime Saturday to have dinner with some family that is coming in to town hang out with some people. Drive back to Boulder for a shindig on Sunday. Drive back to Greeley on Monday ( this part may be eliminated from the equation) so my parents can drive me to the airport at about 3:30am. This plan my parents have seems ridiculous so I might just have my sister drive me to eliminate the turn around and drive back to greeley part………….then my life in NY will begin!

This week is my last week of work! Thursday is my last day and I am so excited! I have just been hanging out with Katie and now she is gone. I won’t see her until I get to new York. Moving is weird especially not knowing if I’ll ever live here again. I’m going to miss all my friends. I wonder if they will miss me? It still hasn’t hit me that I am actually leaving. You think it would since I have no possessions anymore. The stuff I need to tackle now is figuring out what I want to take with me on the plane and what I want to ship. I think I’m going to have to consolidate some more.

Yesterday my sister and I went up to estes park and hung out for awhile which was nice. the weather was great! on our way back we hit some heavy traffic in Lyons because of the stupid folk festival and someone following too close rear ended me. My trunk and bumper are damaged and my neck hurts so bad!

I’m watching a program on TLC about Feral children. Very interesting…..
