I was told to not bring my car up here for various reasons (the most humorous of which was Carolina and Michael telling me that I would die if I tried to drive up here). But I'm more handicapped without a car here than I was in Gainesville (partially because I don't have a Justin or Dan to drive me around). The buses here are sketchy, more so than back home, and the train is really only convenient if I need to get to NYC (granted, from there I can pretty much take a train to anywhere). Walking has been sufficient thus far...I'm so close to campus and work, but I definitely need my car up here. That being said, who wants to ride 17 hours from FL to NJ with me sometime this summer?
2. Snow days...Awesome (as long as you're dressed appropriately)!
Snow is beautiful! I love how bright and clean everything looks when it is blanketed with snow! I've made a snowman and been sledding, which are super fun (I'm saving the snowball fight for next winter), and I even shoveled the driveway with my roommates. But I've discovered that there's a reason winter clothes exist. And while I can layer 12 tshirts and every sweatshirt I own on top of me, it won't really compare to designated winter clothes :)
3. I'll always miss home...
I want NJ to work, and slowly it's getting there. I've made a few friends, and I like my classes. Adventuring in NYC is great, and once I'm more confident in my ability to navigate the subway system, I'll be there so much more. I know that I wouldn't be here if this wasn't what I wanted, but I cannot wait to be back in FL. My world was so perfect there, and while little by little my friends are leaving to have their own post-UF adventures, I'm still gonna countdown to the day I can go and visit the few friends who are still there. I know things won't ever be the same. I know that when I go back, there will be certain people who I can catch up with like no time passed at all, and there will be others who I probably won't be in contact with (no matter how hard I tried to stay in touch), but just being able to say that I'm home will the best feeling. So right now, I'm "okay", working towards "good" and eventually "great", but I still miss you FL...
And finally, for your amusement...
Enjoy!
