Moving!

So I moved into my new dorm for the school year last Saturday. I'm now living in Lafayette, which is a dorm (surprise!) on Lafayette Street, and is at the bottom of Chinatown. I had a horrible moving experience that involved the street being closed (thanks for notifying me, NYU!), a cop literally screaming in me that he had no time to talk to me and that I needed to keep moving, a surly security guard, a sassy student checking me into my new room, a street fair that caused a traffic backup, and the world's hottest day ever. I'm living in a 6-person suite, in a 2-person bedroom with my friend Kelsey who doesn't get here for another 2 weeks and while we have the best room because it comes with a closet and our own bathroom, the room itself is the smallest that I've lived in since being in NYU housing, not to mention I'm incredibly confused as to how 6 girls are going to share 1 fridge, about 7 cabinets and absolutely zero counter space in the kitchen. So that will be...interesting. While I've been moved in for almost a week now, I'm still not even close to unpacked, mostly because I'm trying to figure out where I can fit all my stuff, but good news: I bought closet organizing material at Kmart yesterday, since this closet is about 1/4 of the closet space I've had before. On the plus side, I'm actually enjoying the neighborhood more than I thought I would (well, I mean I haven't actually done much in Chinatown yet, but it's not as annoying as expected and I'm looking forward to some cheap meals of dumplings or something) and the walk from school is actually only about 20 minutes through SoHo and surprisingly nice. I get to see lots of very nicely dressed people, which I always enjoy. So that's about it, pictures to come once I've actually set up my room.
