To a New Beginning

It's now 12:32 pm here in the Big Apple, and it's really hot. I can hear the cars outside my window, honking as usual, as well as a bunch of people outside.

My dorm building's relatively quiet, except for the huge lunch line downstairs--but I'm on the seventh floor, so that doesn't matter.

And amidst it all, I love it. New York's such a great place to be, and Columbia University is an awesome university. I mean, seriously, Columbia is an oasis of peace and intellectual vibrancy amidst a large and busy city--this part of Manhattan is quieter though. Who else can step out of their dorm and see a huge classically built building? I still can't believe I'm here.

And I can just step off campus whenever I want to get an opportunity. Not that I need to that much--Columbia itself has so much for me to explore.

The people are friendly, everyone's busy, and each person seems so willing to help you along the way.

Well, I have a lecture in about two hours and gotta get lunch, so this post will be shorter. But, point made--NYC is awesome, I love it here, and I really feel at home.

So, this is to a new beginning. Thanks to you all back home and around everywhere for all your support in helping me get this far. I hope this blog will help you keep up with my daily doings and thoughts!
