one month

i can't believe it's been 31 days since i started this adventure in new york. at first, it seemed like time went by so slowly and i didn't believe in the 'new york minute' and in a way, i still don't but i still can't believe i've been here a whole month. now that i look back, it feels like longer only because i'm kinda already comfortable here. i've read that the adjustment period for new york can be anywhere from 3 months to a year. did i skip something? am i doing something wrong? yes, i'm still experiencing something new all the time but i'm also not as scared or apprehensive as i was. i'm only double checking my directions now instead of triple checking. i can adjust to subway changes when i have to. i've gone grocery shopping. i walk everywhere. i'm making new friends. don't get me wrong, i miss my family, friends, and austin dearly but i really haven't felt homesick. i think i've felt more homesickness going on a 10 day vacation than i have with this move. maybe it's just the mindset that this is permanent. i don't know. whatever it is, i already feel like this is my norm. 


i'm super excited because s.c. and n.p. have booked their tickets and will be here in 6.5 weeks! i can't wait. hopefully the time will fly. n.p. used to live here so i'm looking forward to her sharing some of her nyc secrets and tips with me.
