1st week

[gardeniabee]

So, this is the first time I have had to breathe and assess all week!

My coursework is pretty crazy. I have several major group projects to complete this summer, as well as 3 lab sessions a week and gobs of reading.

I didn't really see the outside of my apartment or SIPA until Saturday evening, when I took a very pleasant walk in Morningside Park. It is just down the block from my place, and abounds with vegetation. It is on a hill, so there are a lot of stairs and neat side paths throughout. Also lots of squirrels, pigeons, turtles (in the pond!) and ducks.

One thing I enjoy about NYC is the great availability of good ethnic food- I don't know if I mentioned the great Indian place about 2 blocks away, but there's also a really good Norwegian restaurant less than 1 block away, and good French, Chinese, Italian, etc. all within 3 blocks of my house! I walk outside and voila, there is wonderful food. Of course, it costs $, so I mostly eat in.

I hope everyone in NM is doing well! I miss you all very much!

Norsk mat! This intrigues me. Haven't had any Norwegian fare since visiting second and third cousins in Norway more than eighteen years ago. Well, Grandma still makes lefse.
