Hello New York

I finally made it to NYC last night around 11pm after boarding my 1pm flight at 3pm and then sitting on the runway until 7:30pm before we were allowed to take off (stupid weather). There was no food and we made it through 2 movies before even taking off. But no matter, I am here now. It still hasn't quite sunk in yet that I actually live here. Aimlessly walking around the Financial District today, I felt a little like a tourist as I bounced from Ground Zero to the South Street Seaport (most importantly, I found the downtown TKTS booth). The distances are much shorter than I imagined, but I guess the Financial District is pretty compact (I still haven't been uptown further than 14th Street yet). My apartment is a little bare for now (my computer should arrive tomorrow and the rest next Monday), but it's a roof over my head and that's all that's important for now.
