East Coast Ramblings of a West Coast Girl

...Okay, so I don't really shout salutations like "Howdy" out to people on the street, but it is a very friendly greeting, which will hopefully make you feel welcomed to this blog.

I'm Jessica, and you are welcome to come here (daily) to read about my rambles while I live here in the "Big Apple" . Why read my blog, you may ask?! Hopefully you'll read it because I entertain you greatly with my witty commentary, or maybe you want to know more about life here at NYU and NYC, for that matter. Yes, my life flipped here....

I'll tell you: it wasn't easy to transition from sunny, 70-degree weather all year long, beautiful beaches, take-it-easy, car-driving lifestyle in SoCal (Southern California, for all you unaware) to snowy winters, always-walking, subway-taking, I'm-in-a-hurry-so-walk-faster lifestyle in New York.

I've had my fair share of slipping on blocks of ice, mean taxi drivers, and long (too long) walks up narrow flights of stairs for class this past year. You know, in California we never had to deal with this thing they call "ice" and those people we know as "taxi drivers"....or even walking...But, there is something (yes, something) about the school and the city that keeps me captivated...

Maybe it's the fact that I don't have to drive in traffic (because I can walk, duh. I knew these legs were here for something), that I can go out for cake at midnight, or that I have a class in a historical landmark (you'll find out). I can't explain! It's just something! Maybe you'll keep reading my blog to better understand what this something is.
