Delivery!

So I did a quick Google search just to make sure I wasn't crazy and confirmed we definitely don't have Sushi and Tempura Ice Cream delivered to our door in Seattle. This is now at least the 4th or 5th time my roommate has looked at me like I was crazy for never having experienced something seen as common place in NYC. And what an amazing thing. In 20 minutes we had 2 sushi rolls, seaweed salad, and 2 servings of tempura green tea ice cream at the door. She then showed me the countless menus hidden away next to the refrigerator in the kitchen. It was a food awakening today.

I also spent a little bit of time, before the thunderstorms came back, sketching on the roof. I am trying out these oil pastel crayons and it's going ok so far. If it looks good at all, I will post a picture. But below is the view I am sketching, specifically the water towers (a NY staple) and the building.

One of my roommates is off visiting Israel for 10 days and the other just finished her summer internship and we are both lazily awaiting school to start. Among the tasks I will need to accomplish will be figuring out how on earth I am going to get to Queens from here via subway. The tripplanner wasn't promising so I guess it will just require venturing out. Also we have the wall and cube painting project which I will get into more detail at a later time. It is scheduled for next weekend. I also need to consider finding a weekend job, perhaps a bar or restaurant. Which reminds me I need to budget as a starving student.... It is actually amazing how many little things there are to do just to get settled. I still don't think it has hit me that I live here. It still seems like a bit of a vacation.

No major plans for the weekend so until Monday, take care of yourself and others.
