Our Car Accident:
Our trip through the airport was a BREEZE, our carry on's got on the plane easy and our 5 suitcases, the sizes of bodies, didnt get lost. As we were driving to our apartment almost a block from our apartment, our driver asked my mom if she wanted to pay with cash or credit and she said credit. So our driver reached down to get the credit card swiper thing, but instead of stopping the car to do this, he kept driving while not looking and of course we hit the car in front of us. Our drivers car was busted up in the front pretty bad but the cab that he hit didn't have a dent and no one was hurt. We would of walked to our apartment but we had SO many huge bags( I will post a pic below) I stayed in the car while the cab driver and our driver exchanged info. Luckily they agreed to not call the police and we were on our way, but lets just say that was not a good start to the trip!
Our apartment: I'm not gonna talk too much about our apartment...It's nothing special, it's actually pretty dirty and gross and one of the bedrooms is full of a a really really bad stench of cigarette smoke, its unusable so mom and me will be sharing a bed. It also lacks some color so I went to a flower shop in the middle of Times Square and bought some purple flowers, and then took the paper that they were wrapped in, and hung it on the wall :) just getting creative! <<will post photos below) I don't think you can do much better in New York though. On the bright side, you walk out of our building and turn left and your 2 blocks from Times Square which is really fun! And also our door men are super nice, so our apartment isn't so bad after all!
Mom should be a "dancer"?: Apparently I have a hot mama...Walking through Times Square today some men yelled at mom that she should go dance at the gentlemens club because her "Glasses are supa sharp and yo hur is spunky" I'll leave that at that.
Subway: I had to give the subway system a try today because thats what Ill be riding back and forth to castings and jobs for 3 weeks. I actually didn't mind taking the subway, I found it relaxing actually...is that weird? Although, I was a little turned off by the rats crawling on the tracks as I waited.
I'm a tough cookie: Being in New York I know you have to be really tough, lets be honest it is not the safest place, especially for a young girl. I have a method of walking down the street...Take long strides and move your arms a lot, don't look down, squint and look forward, never walk in between people always go around. And of course keep your hand on your purse. I also fought for a seat at Starbucks today. After walking for about an hour, I was freezing and exhausted and decided to go have some coffee cake at Starbucks. It was packed, but I saw a guy leaving and waited by his seat making it pretty clear I was going to sit there. Then, another guy came and stood by me staring at the seat, now usually I would be shy and just walk away and let him have it, but not today! I looked at him and said, "Hey what do you think your doing!?" (with a new york accent of course) And yes, he did walk away and I sat there...don't mess with me when Im hungry and cold.
The accent: Im obsessed with the New York accents and I just know Im gonna catch on to it within this week so I can only imagine what I'll sound like when I come home in 3 weeks...oh boy!
Currently: And right now it is 7:00 and I am enjoying some tea and Teddy Grahms!! Still deciding where to get dinner
