Sigh.
I went searching for a really old email this afternoon and ended up finding one that I'd sent to a few college friends after my first day at NYU describing the day in numbers. Here it is, in its entirety:
I really can't believe it's almost over.
It only took a 90-minute drive with my parents, 3 and 1/2 hours in the air, 1 and 1/2 hours in the Chicago airport, and a harrowing 30-minute cab ride to get me to Greenwich Village. Along the way, I read about 160 new movies that will be released this fall (thank you Entertainment Magazine). I also browsed 1 SkyMall catalog and listened to 1 cd. I have now made 2 trips to K-Mart and 1 trip to CVS in order to outfit my room. I filled out 4 forms and 1 survey and had 1 picture taken in order to check in. I have attended 1 reception where I received 1 free meal. All in all, it's been a long, but fairly painless day. I have met 1 person who didn't give me a weird look when I said I'm from South Dakota. He said, "Oh really, my uncle is the track coach at O'Gorman in Sioux Falls."
I really can't believe it's almost over.
