Home, New (York) Home

I've now been in NY for almost a week and, you've guessed it, pretty much all I did was apartment hunt. It's been an exhausting, at times frustrating and at times exiting ordeal. However, I ended up signing a two-month lease for a place very close to school. That lease can be extended, but I only signed a minimum to see how I got along with my roommates, and if I get better value for money somewhere else. School starts Monday, and moving in before classes started mattered to me. So, for now, mission accomplished.

I can barely begin to explain the relief it is not to be glued to my computer screen all day long checking padmapper and answering ads. My mind is at peace! I can now focus on rehearsing my monologue, and enjoying a short vacation of sorts, before I move in this weekend.

Of course, more happened this week than just the apts (including seeing John Gabriel Borkman at BAM, which I recommend), but I really can't get myself to blog about them right now. I'll get back to more New York impressions in future posts!
