Driving into New York through the Lincoln Tunnel was stressful because of the traffic, but exhilarating knowing I'm going to be on this island for the next 3 months. My place I will be calling home is in the New Yorker Hotel located on 34th St. and 8th Ave. (Midtown / Garment District). I live on the 16th floor and share a tiny room with 2 other girls; one bathroom and one closet! Thankfully all my belongings I over packed fit perfectly in my new space. Walking through the city I instantly fell in love - love with the buildings, the colorful characters, the hustle and bustle and of course the FASHION! The streets of New York are like a constant fashion show where you always have front row seats. The girls on the street are tall, rail thin, and beautiful - I don't fit in very well so far unless I suddenly grow 6 inches overnight or drop some lbs. asap (with the price of food and my current status as a poor college student, dropping some weight may be in my future after all!) The official language of New York City is anything but English- every other person is speaking a different language from all over the world. Thankfully no one has assumed I speak Chinese yet...I'll just laugh when it happens or as my dad would tell me to do - make up some jibberish that sounds like an asian language. (xhoji kwaon shlaitjwk sleuignskf) HAHA Classes started today and my first class begins in one hour. I had orientation this morning and everyone seems really nice and super helpful! The studio where I have class is only 5 blocks away from my place, just a short walk thankfully. I'm still trying to find an internship and if I don't have one of those soon, I will hopefully be getting a job at a retail store for some extra cash.
There's so much to do in this city I don't even know where to begin! Stay tuned for more news from The Fashion Student! Love you all! :)
