Week One.

Ok folks it has officially been one week since I have moved to NYC. In the future I will try an update every week in addition to something else a friend recommended I do. Okay so details right?

I touched down on August 24th, 2010 about noon. I had my girl scoop me from the airport since I was relocating I stuffed my suitcases which were really heavy. Normally I would have rode the subway from the airport but that was simply to much work!! The air was cool, I had on a light jacket, I know your maybe thinking damn if she thinks that is cool wait until the Winter!!! So once my girl dropped me off to my temporary place of living, I dropped all my stuff & went straight to my school. I got to school to finish up with registration, which included getting a shot in the nurses office for my immunization records, speaking with an advisor, choosing classes & attending orientation. Once I finished with that which took hours my roommate & I went out to eat. On Wednesday I signed the lease to my new apartment in Brooklyn!!! I also met a really nice lady thru my roommate, the lady is so cool!! We all went out for drinks that night to celebrate. It was amazing.

Thursday morning I woke up with a mission on my mind. To find a hairstylist which was hard at first not having any referrals or such. I simply turned to my close friend GOOGLE!! Which of course did not let me down I found a salon in Brooklyn. I had to rush there since Thursday was the 1st day of school & of course I did not want to be late. The results turned out to be amazing & so was the cost! Ha!! Real good. After getting my hair done I strutted through the streets of Brooklyn & caught the subway to class. Feeling GOOD!! :o] Once at school for the first day I was in awe at all of the damn people. Jeeeeshhh it had to have been 1/3 of NYC oh okay maybe I am exaggerating but there were a lot of folks there. I feel the 1st day of school went smooth sailing. Later Thursday night I sat on the rooftop a bomb ass apartment owned by a mutual friend of mine. Oh I forgot to mention it was located on Wall St. Whatttttt!!!!! Oh them dudes are totally about the money, yes one of them told me straight up.

On Friday & Saturday I was totally receiving my life through some shit a friend of mine pulled off. Oh I can forget to mention the first movie I seen while living in NYC was TAKERS!!!! Did you know it was number 1 opening weekend. =diddy voice= take that take that!!! Ok so later that day I hooked up with my friend that I spoke of earlier who has PULL. She finally hooked up with me, I was so happy to see her!! So we hung out at a Mexican restaurant off Broadway that shit was yummy!! Later we sipped a few watermelon martinis at the beautiful Hudson Hotel. Ok here is the winner: Saturday I attended the Rock the Bells concert on Governors Island, rode in a Bentley Flying Spur, stood right next to John Legend Estelle Busta Rhymes AJ Chris Rock & then up the stairs comes fucking Jay-Z Beyonce Mary J. Blige Alicia Keys Swizz Beats. How did I get so lucky you ask? Well that friend knows somebody that knows somebody!! I was part of Lauryn Hill's "family" that night! It was truly the flyest thing that ever happen to me. I did not act like a lunatic fan I kept my cool. My friend introduced me to Alicia Keys & she shook my hand & was like "your name is Alisha too?" then I responded "Yes but it is spelled different" she then said "Cool, I like that". I just was humbled to be in them folks presences it was truly a huge surprise!!!!!!!! Of course it motivated me a tad bit!!!

Sunday I relaxed from a shocking ass weekend! Monday was my first day at my new job. Which did not turn out to be so bad. I also went to school later. On the way home I stopped & grabbed some grub while reading over homework. Damn that feels weird to say, never thought I'd be in school again after graduation from high school. It is all g-double-o-d good though, I truly feel that I am getting it in!!! On twitter the other day I posted this "I'm gonna make my momma proud :o] " & I promise that! Today is Tuesday & the only crazy shit that happened was that I popped my damn flip flop on the sidewalk while walking to school. So I had to put my work heels back on ouuuuccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I was dying walking with them on. :o[

Just to wrap this up, my stay here so far is treating me well. No complaints. Oh besides my shoe hehehe, I look forward to my stay here though. I wonder who my first visitor will be...
