It was good to wake up to a great view of the city, also a little weird. Me, mom, and dad spend the whole day walking. We went to Union Square, Greenwich Village, Battery Park, and more in between. In Battery Park, there were tons of kids playing in this huge fountain, including two little boys in their underwear. Talk about livin' the dream! I was also thrilled because I found Anthropologie and Free People, some of my favorite stores which are not too far away from where I am living. One thing that I realized today is how obvious it is that I am from the South. I never thought I had much of a Southern accent, but people here look at me like I'm crazy. It's not cool to be friendly I guess, and asking "where yall' headed" doesn't make much sense to Northerners. Kathryn arrived this evening, which makes this whole experience SO much more fun and exciting! She went to dinner with me and the parents at Bobby Vans, which was in Times Square, and was REALLY good! That was the first time we have been down there since arriving. We walked past the Double Tree hotel and it reminded me of CAK senior trip and how much fun we had. My parents are leaving tomorrow, so I told them bye tonight-which was sad.. but not TOO sad. It's been a big day, so we are headed to bed here in a few. Our other roommates, Alex and Alex, came in to talk for a bit. THEY HAVE A TV! YAY! We are all planning to watch The Hills and The City tomorrow night. Can't wait for what tomorrow will bring! I wish Matt was here to experience all this with me.
