a big leap to one step at a time

Today is my second day in NYC. I miss my family and friends in LA, and those things familiar. I had a fever yesterday, and still feel a bit sick/nauseous to the stomach... My mom tells me I've always been a bit too sensitive. (or maybe its from the weeks and weeks of too much partying in LA, and making out with a friend who is also feverishly ill this week :)

In any case, I trust that I'm pretty determined as well. The basic strategy was to throw myself into this new situation, and deal with it.... and see what is to come of this.

I am learning my first lesson... to be patient. It's gonna take some time to get things going here and to find new things to be excited about. For now, I'm just gonna try and relax and feel better. Then I gotta find a job, and move down to lower Manhattan (currently staying up in Washington Heights-- 30-40 minutes north of where I want to be now).
