Orientation Day!

Up at the crack of dawn with an aching back (I miss my bed!). I took in my bright room and strange noises after all this is the city that never sleeps. After a quick groggy good morning call from Adam I got out of bed.

I spent the morning dusting, vacuuming, texting, anything to keep myself busy and kill time. Then I headed to orientation. I only messed up the subway once on my way and after grabbing an ice tea from Starbucks went in and gathered my assigned bags.

Orientation was filled with talking about procedures and rules. We were informed of even more wonderful opportunities that were about to be made available for us. I of course signed up for every club except wine club (still a baby) after all I'm gonna do this right. I then got My text book and a big bag full of uniforms. And What?! a home work assignment? but i haven't even had my first day! oh well looks like I will be reading about sanitation this weekend and apple compote tarts. Oh and washing and pressing those uniforms. On the way back to the dorm I ended up in the wrong direction a few more times. But that's OK I'll figure it out. Boy it's hot in this city!

Move In

Yesterday I moved into my dorms in Brooklyn Heights where I will be living while I complete the Classic French Pastry Program at the French Culinary Institute. After unpacking my Stuff and hauling it up to the seventh floor I found that I had a room mate but she was gone to class. After sad goodbyes and a quick lunch my mother and grandmother left and I headed upstairs to unpack my stuff.

Surprisingly enough all of my stuff fit into my dorm storage space. (Yes even all the clothes I brought! Actually I could probably even fit more... shopping!). I then Met up with a girl in my class named Sarah that I had been talking to on face book. And explored some of NYC which would be my home for the next 6 months. After wandering around Manhattan and getting lost on the subway several times I returned to my dorm with blisters and tired feet. Still no sign of my room mate I talked to Adam (he's off to San Diego tomorrow!) and went to bed.
