Other than that, being back at NYU almost feels like I never left. The first few days I was here, before school started, those days felt a little weird. I had to reacclimate myself to the disgustingly humid weather--not fun, let me tell you. The first few days were miserable, weather-wise. Then to top it all off, I got sick. At first I thought it was just allergies or something from traveling and being in a new city and having to get used to new allergens, but it turned into a full-fledged cold a day or two before school started. Not fun.
Once school officially started, it kind of felt like I never left, like the summer never happened. Yes, I'm taking different classes and I'm living somewhere new so the commute is different, but I got back into the swing of things and now it feels just like a continuation of last year (which it is, actually). I've met a lot of the freshmen, and they're all so adorable and new. It's hard to believe that just a year ago I was them, fresh-faced and ready and eager to be at NYU. I still love being here, it's just a different excitement. The initial honeymoon phase has ended and now I'm fully settled in, I think. I don't feel so green anymore.
Living with my best friend Elle is also working out really well. Our schedules are different enough that I actually hardly ever see her, except for at night when we're doing homework and going to bed. I have classes primarily in the morning/early afternoon and hers are more spread out, usually in the afternoon going into the evening, so we don't overlap much. But we cooked dinner the other night and before school started we saw Pippin, so we do hang out a bit. I think this is going to work out really well.
