WE FOUND AN APARTMENT!
It's in Astoria. Specifically, the Upper Ditmars area. I'm ecstatic.
Supposedly, it has nice wood floors, brand new kitchen appliances (including a stainless steel fridge), a backyard that only we have access to (we're on the first floor), and a decent sized closet. This sounds like a miracle for NYC. We'll see how it really looks when I get there. Danielle was pretty picky so I bet it'll be somewhat nice.
I'm moving the 17th of October, which is very very soon.

first blog ever
I decided to start this blog because...well, I'm not really sure. Grace started one about her adventures in Spain, and so I thought it would be fun and fitting for me to start one about my New York adventures too. And I like writing. So here we are.
I have less than a month before I leave for NYC. I'm going up there to audition and "live the dream"(a.k.a. Be a Professional Waitress). Meanwhile I'm in Stephenville, Texas living with my parents. In the middle of nowhere. We have no neighbors. We DO have donkeys, lots of cats, and a big mutt named Cowboy. He's ugly as all get out (one blue eye and one brown) but really loveable. We also have hundreds of spiders. Every time I take a step outside I end up covered in spiderwebs. It's like I walked into one of my worst nightmares.
It's tough, this transition period. I graduated from Sam Houston in May, which was sad. Went straight to Kentucky and spent a summer doing outdoor theatre. I got to know so many wonderful people and had one of the best summers of my life, but of course all good things have to end. It's all so very bittersweet! Moving on, leaving people I love, over and over again...
Here's how I'm spending my time while stuck here:
1. Substitute teaching - I actually like this, sometimes. Kids can be cute. Come to think of it, I might not mind having one someday.
2. Yoga and "Turbo Jam!"
3. Donkeys - Never thought I would spend so much time hanging out with donkeys, but funny things happen when you have excessive free time.
4. Facebook and MySpace - Yeah. I've been a huge computer nerd!
The rest of my time is spent planning and dreaming about New York. I have a lot to look forward to. I can't wait to get going but there's nothing I can do to speed it up right now. Danielle (my super cool future roommate) is up there looking for an apartment as we speak. We're really hoping to find something in the Astoria/Long Island City area, but who knows what we'll end up with? I told her I'll take almost anything as long as it has a decent sized closet (which is a lot to ask for in New York, I know)!
Now, since this blog is really supposed to be about the incredibly exciting Big Apple, not TEXAS, that's all I'll write for now!
