Tough Times, Rough Rides

So this is my seond day here in New York. The site of the skyline while flying in was still as breathtaking as the first time. However, life here in one of the busiest, most expensive cities in the world has proven very difficult and very frustrating. Even now, my shoulders are tight, our room is cluttered, and my hair is frizzy - not to mention the lack of internet. My stress has been climing at a steady pace do to the fact that my laptop, for whatever reason, will not connect to the internet (not even in the lobby, which has wireless internet). This also means I cannot upload any pictures yet. I was lucky enough to have a really great roomate, A.J., who let me use his laptop while in the room until mine is fixed. Food shouldn't be too big of a problem, as A.J. is also very crafty in making whole meals (thank God!). School starts in three days. Looking forward to it.
