Finally moved IN!!!

The living room

Long hallway

Tiny bathroom

Tiny closet

Tiny room! hah I'm getting the bottom

So I have finally moved in to my Upper West Side apartment. It is located in a beautiful area with cute shops and stores along the street. It's a 2 bedroom one, bathroom with a little kitchen and living room. It is furnished and I will be sharing a room and tiny closet with another girl. I will also be paying an outrageous amount to live here, but that's New York for ya!

After searching and searching for apartments, looking at pictures, areas and finding them on google maps, this one is really the best out of all. It is in between Central Park and the river facing Jersey. It's also in a good area, and it is so cute inside!

So I moved the majority of my stuff in on Thursday so last night when came over with the rest of my stuff (small suitcase, travel bag w/computer and other random things/ bag of shoes, and 2 purses), it was 9pm....yes PM and PORING rain. My friend Melanie who I had been staying with luckily came to help me. We took the cross town bus over cause she is Upper East Side. But, we still had about 10 block to walk. On the walk over, not only were we completely soaking wet, but lost on paper bag that had items in it. Let me tell you, it was so much fun!! Especially when the "puddles" get so big that the develop a current. It got to the point where I wasn't even annoyed anymore, I thought it was hilarious!

Then today I locked myself out and couldn't figure how to get back in. So I got myself a mani pedi and when I got back, the other roommates were back and they showed me how to open it. There are always little problems that always seem to happen to me every time I experience change in my life. Oh well, I have bigger things to stress about! Happy Monday.

"Evil Stepmothers"

I have been watching a handful of Disney movies lately. Have you ever noticed that there is always an evil Stepmother or Queen? This intrigued me as well as causing me to google image "evil stepmothers". I noticed that all off these women literally look like the devil's wives.

Another thing they have in common is they are all incredibly jealous creatures. For instance, Cinderella's evil stepmother made her stay home and clean all day because she knew that she was beautiful and she didn't want the prince finding her. The evil queen wanted to kill snow white because she was jealous of her beauty; and because of her selfishness, she wanted to be the fairest in all the land. In Enchanted, the evil stepmother wanted all the power, so she did everything possible to get rid of Giselle so she wouldn't marry the prince. So really, these evil women don't like people who threaten their existence.

MEANING: if you are more pretty (which you most likely are), smarter and nicer then them, that stepmother is going to feel threatened and is going to do anything in her power to get rid of you....funny I feel like I have seen this actually happen in real life.

Really, it is just immaturity on these evil women's part. If they would grow up and get over the fact that they really aren't pretty and no matter what they do, they cannot get rid of the princess, it would make everyones life easy. PLUS, really who do they think they are?? They are the STEPmother, not real mother. They are the person that their father married so he can get some action but stay moral. It's funny that Disney puts stuff like this in their movies to entertain older people while they watch movies with their kids, or other young people.


So EVIL STEPMOTHERS: Jealously will destroy you. Please get over yourselves and do what you ladies do best; looking like somebody hit you in the face with a frying pan and shoved a stick up your crotch. :)

As for those princesses, keep going strong, you get the happily ever after!!

Sick Days

I HATE being sick. I would rather be hot and sweating 24/7 then be sick. You feel so miserable!

Well, to explain why I am mostly sick, this is whats going on right now....
I finally got a part time job after applying for for literally 20 here in the city. It is really hard to get a job anywhere unless you had a reference from somewhere else. I now work at the Soho Grand Hotel at their outside restaurant called "The Yard". It is really pretty and because its during the summer, it is really nice at night. So the Yard doesn't open up until 4pm and we don't close until 1am usually. I only work the weekends, but as the days went on, I stayed later and later. Thursday I got out by 1am. Friday I was out by 1:30am, and Saturday.....I didn't leave until 2:30 so I didn't even get home until 3am!! This is because the people litterally would not leave.

I also have been quite stressed about finding an apartment. It is by far the worst thing I have had to accomplish while here in the city. People are extremely shady and there are sooo many scams. It is also really hard to find an apartment less then $1000....This is not including other bills like food, metro card (unlimited subway pass), and other random things like a taxi. Fortunately my new part time job has AMAZING pay, and I finally found an apartment that might work out. I am going to look at it tomorrow so crossing my fingers it will work and I can be done with the search for now.

So aside from having watery eyes, being extremely congested and suffering from major fatigue, life here is great!! There are always sacrifices for what you want in life and it is a matter of deciding what is important. Time to buy some tissues!
