Finally an Update

Blessed.

That sums up my first two months in New York City. I have experienced some of the most unique experiences of my life. I am living life. 

My time in New York has been full of extremes. 

More coming soon.

First Day in the New Classroom

Today is the first day of school for many of my former colleagues. I feel kind of behind because everyone else seems to be starting up and I'm walking into my new classroom for the very first time.

It's currently 8:49 am and I'm on the 3 train up to 135th. I'll be filling out all of the  necessary paper work this morning, and then checking out my new home away from home.

By the way, I'm shocked at how many people still read the newspaper on the subway.

9:38 am

I just finished filling out paper work. I had a brief moment to glance at my classroom, but will not be able to start setting up yet. They are painting and adding new light fixtures to all classrooms. Here's what it looks like as of now:





I have workshops Tuesday-Thursday of this week. I guess I'm setting up Friday? The room feels larger than my previous classrooms.

Lazy Saturday

Mary and I enjoyed an easy Saturday. We slept in a bit, which is always nice, and then headed to the Union Square farmers market. As usual, the market was super packed (even at lunch) and the produce was moving quickly. 

We wanted pizza for lunch, so we headed to 2 Bros. Pizza, which was about a mile walk. We found this pizza place with my sister last weekend. A nice sized slice of cheese pizza is a buck. Can't beat that.

Four slices of NY pizza and two drinks = $5.50.

After pizza, we walked around the block to check out McSorleys pub, which is the oldest bar in NYC. Apparently, Mr. Lincoln came here once upon a time. However, karma rolled around and bird dropped a load on Mary.


If they were aiming for her Fresca can, they almost hit the jackpot. 

Until next time...
