Columbia University


This is the beautiful ivy league school I attend. But below is the actual campus I go to everyday, about 60 blocks north of the nice campus. Such is my luck. I only have a week and a half left of summer classes till I get a month break. Then I'm going to Shiloh for a week and then home for a week!

My NYC apartment!



This is our empty, tiny, very expensive apartment that I have stayed in for two weeks! I was going a little cabin crazy by the end of it. We now have our stuff, but it's all everywhere. But I am happy to announce I am sleeping on a normal bed now, no more air mattresses for me! I will post finished pictures when it's all done.

My day at Ikea

Yesterday me and Marcus spent the entire day at the Ikea in Elizabethtown, NJ. And I mean an entire day. We started off on the free shuttle from the Port Authority in NY with many other eager New Yorkers to Ikea. Neither one of us had been to the phenomenon previously and were pretty excited. I can tell you after six hours we were not so excited anymore. Everyone had told us of this amazing place with cute stuff and it's cheap!

It turns out it's cheap because you do everything. You get the parts out of their warehouse, you take it home, and you put your furniture together. Hopefully we can figure it out. We won't get our furniture PIECES until Saturday when Marcus should be bringing all our things up from Ohio. So I will have a bed, couch, desk, table, and coffee table. And cute computer chair! I cannot wait to be a normal person. My back is getting worse every day by sleeping on the air mattress. Also since it's the only piece of "furniture" in the apartment I eat, sleep, and do homework on it.

Everyday gets a little bit better.
