(live) from nyc

hello friends!

i'm tucked into a tiny internet cafe somewhere on 7th avenue, here in manhattan.
on my way to day two of the certified knitting program at FIT.
it's fun being a student again (i hope my future students feel the same!)

although there have been many terrifying moments
i took the subway, two trains!, to brooklyn, alone
hailed my first cab, after a quick tutorial from hannah.

we've had time together, more than i thought we would
and i think we've made the best of it, eating, drinking and shopping
our way around this amazing city, oh! and walking!
(hopefully that will take care of all the eating).

taking a lot of photos too, even if they have no where to go at the moment
when i get home i guess i'll need to go computer shopping.
well, i have to finish my homework now
(it's very distracting with millions of people, taxis and cars blurring by)

see you soon!

  2. I imagine you, sitting there in the hustle and noise of New York City, knitting your task, smiling at passing people, then packing up, hailing a yellow cab, chatting with the driver, walking into campus, greeting new friends (I bet you made many in two days) and then being tutored in class. Oh, how much fun just to THINK of it! Hannah must be thrilled to have you there! Please take masses of photos!
