Went into NYC for the first time since moving – which is acceptable since it’s only been a week! I’d actually been planning to go in tomorrow, but a friend is in town and suggested we meet up at MOMA today. I got to meet her 9-month old daughter and we walked through most of the museum.

The weather was gorgeous when we got out – despite dire predictions of thunderstorms. So I headed to Central Park. I got maybe halfway through before deciding to turn back. My timing was good… as I got to Port Authority, the storm arrived. I made the bus with perfect timing (total luck – I still didn’t get a schedule) and was safely frozen inside the air conditioned transport unit when the first raindrops fell.

I got a call on my way to Port Authority – scheduling an interview for this Wednesday. The additional good news is that the job pays well, so I could easily get an apartment and keep up with my student loan payments. So…. we’ll see. I’m not getting my hopes too high, but it did make me feel better about being here, at least for an hour

I’m going to a social thing this weekend – beach, hike, jazz – so hopefully I’ll meet some people. Friends would also make me feel a lot better about being here.
