Well... I'm here

This first post is on a borrowed computer. My roommate Candace is letting me use her laptop until mine arrives in the mail. 

A lots happened. The plane ride was great, aside from the fact that when we reached 36,000 feet I thought my ear was going to explode. I was so stuffed up that I thought my ears were going to explode. It really hurt, and when we landed I was 90% deaf. The driver got lost in Brooklyn and I had to literally take his GPS and guide him in.

The apartment is amazing. My room is huge and beautiful, and the house is so cute. I'm very close to everything. I've made some videos and I'm going to try and get those up soon. 

My first day, after I got here and slept until 1PM or so, Candace showed me around the neighborhood. Then we went grocery shopping and took the Staten Island ferry so I could see the Statue of Liberty, which I had never seen before. We tried to go to Chinatown, but it was completely deserted. Instead, we went into Times Square and ate at Buba Gumps Shrimp Co. It was amazing. 

I'm feeling a little upset about the state of my room recently. I have no furniture at all, and I certainly don't have any money. I spent all day looking for some stuff for my room, but it was either complete crap of way too pricey. And I need a bed. A lot. The air mattress is wonderful and I love Candace for lending it to me, but it's freezing. I'm gonna go to the 99 cent stores and see if they have anything worth taking home. I'm also gonna try and put up my dragon and some posters. 

Hope I can get those videos up... They're pretty sweet.
