It's been 8 weeks since I've...

Been in NYC. I must say it has been filled with adventures!!! I have truly enjoyed my time here thus-far. Right now I am waiting for my class to start later. Art that is. This week I've had 2 mid terms one in English another in Speech. I finished them both early and feel confident in my success with passing them. Last night the Jacksonville Jaguars played the Tennessee Titans in football of course I had to support my team, so my roommate who is also from Jacksonville and I went to a local bar to watch the game. I found one from the NYC SCOPE app from the NY Times. It was called Black Swan in Brooklyn. Very very stylish place. I absolutely loved the scene, dark, cozy, good music, nice bartender, good food and of course GREAT beer.  Unfortunately the Jaguars lost :( it's okay though better days we shall see. This past weekend...
I went and got my hair done over. A sew-in by a Mexican! She did the damn thing though. My roommate and I also hung out alllllll day Sunday it was a real adventure from IKEA to Target we were out all day from that. Then later that night my roommate made spaghetti the pasta took 30-40 min to boil because the fire on the particular stove didn't get hot enough. So I stepped in and moved it to a different eye with hotter fire LOL it was ridiculous. Photos to come....

Last week I went to an audition which is my 3rd one since I've moved here. It went okay, I guess. I look forward to updating my portfolio with new headshots within the next month. I am looking for a NYC photographer who won't know my head off with their prices. Then the next time  Victor is in NYC I will get him to do my make-up and set up a photo shoot. FUN! 

Halloween will be here soon and it will be my first one in NYC. I am truly looking forward to that HUGE event. I plan to dress as Cat Woman, Julie Newmar inspired. I can't do the Halle Berry one because my hair is to long for the full head cover with the cat ears. :) I will make it work though no worries. I can't wait!

The weather here is starting to be very COLD. It gets in the 40-50's and the wind blows 15-25 mph. Let me say I am definitely not ready for this shit. I know it's only get colder which is hard for me to fathom mentally. Poor me right? Time flies since I've moved here,  everything is so FAST, like zoom zoom zoom. I am adjusting though. I really miss my mom's cooking. I look forward to going home for Christmas. I will be here for Thanksgiving though. Come to find out I have family here, so I will contact them and visit them soon cool right? 

I keep my eye open here on the fashion/accessories some things that I've seen ALOT of people wearing are Hunter weather boots...
In every color too, they are good for both rain/cold weather and can be worn with these fleece welly socks for cold weather. Also these all purpose Longchamp Le Pliage totes...  
which of course is a great buy because walking everywhere you need a reliable tote. A lot of folks are seen with these 2!!! I will continue to keep an eye out and share more things with you. 

Oh in other news; MTA which is my source of transportation will raise it's prices in 2011. It will go up by $15 (a 30-day pass), I guess that is a lot of money. I don't really know how to feel about it since I have only been here for like 2 months. I am for damn sure the natives are pissed though. Read an article on it here.  

I have a tumblr acct where I micro blog I usually post photos shit on their too. Feel free to take a look. www.unforgettablemay.tumblr.com .

Thanks and Bye!
