NYC Here I Come!

Internship: Check, Plane ticket: Check, Apartment: Check. After hours, days, and a month of searching. I have finally found a place to live in NYC!

Here are all the details about it: it's a two bedroom, (with 3 beds, so none of us have to sleep on the couch) and two bathroom (this is almost too great, because I hate sharing!), apartment on the fifth floor of this cute complex in Greenwich Village.

I love the ivy on the building!

Here is the shared bedroom, I am planning on taking the Master bedroom because I did all the work to find this wonderful place.

Bathroom

This is the corner kitchen (which might be small to some but fine with me because I don't cook very often) that is attached to the living room below.

Living room with a pull out couch bed.

Another great thing about this apartment is that is about two blocks away from Magnolia Bakery! So I plan on devouring their cupcakes just like Carrie and Miranda.

need to remove an advertisement?

In class we have been learning about basic HTML codes, which is what the internet is made of, these crazy typings of numbers and images put together to make pictures. It is a little mind boggling to think about. But anyways, with all of my knowledge of HTML I figured I could make my blog really great.

Which lead me to hours on the internet looking at other people's blogs and Web sites of free backgrounds for blogs and all that other blogging stuff. But after all those hours of putting new backgrounds on my blog, and trying to change the code so that it would look the way I wanted it to look. The only thing that I was able to change/fix was how to take out the annoying little advertisement that are in the top left hand corner of the blog, to say where you got the blog background from. To say the least, I was a little disappointed that my newly learned coding skills could only get me that far.

But keep checking back because I am not giving up on figuring out how to use HTLM to get me an amazing blog design. So just you wait.

day 3 of carrying the banner

Ok I am so over carrying the banner. It is not a fine life and I don't feel as free as a fish. I have lost my good attitude about it because I have realized that I am leaving my house at 6:45 a.m., to have the paper delivered by 7:30 which is ridiculous.

Today I didn't even get to school on time, because I was dealing with the mouse issue* and a guy was waiting by the empty NY Times holder, just waiting for the paper. Really? Really? He had to be waiting?

Well only 2 more days of this torture, but at least today I remembered scissors.

*mouse issue with have to be blogged about at another time when the issue isn't as traumatic as it is now.

carrying the banner

It's a fine life, carrying the banner through it all. I'm as free as fishes. I goes where I wishes. It's a fine life.

If you don't speak Newsies let me explain, (and then go get the movie, because you are missing out on Christian Bale singing and dancing, and does anything get better then that? I think not). I am on day 2 of delivering the New York Times, to the students of the Brimhall building. This means me getting up at the crack of dawn to deliver the headlines to the people (Because some people still read print?). I am doing it because it works as a fund raiser for SPJ (Society of Professional Journalist, yes I am a member and a professional one at that) and it sure beats washing dishes.

My newspapers are cheap, they are less then two for a penny, and Weasel, doesn't make me eat them after, I get to recycle them. Even with the papes being free I had 40 papes left over. I know I am no Jake Kelley yet but by the end of the week I am hoping. Maybe the headlines can help me, I just need a good assassination, an earthquake or a war, but hopefully not a crooked politician, because, stupid, that ain't news no more!
