New Life

So I finally move to New York.

I still don't feel like I'm in NY, I guess it's because I haven't been to Manhattan. lol
I'm living in Queens, and I really don't care about going to Manhattan today unless I have some business to take care....I've been there too many times...

I move into this apartment yesterday, and all I did was unpacking and spacing out and sleeping.
I literally slept 12 hours last night. Am I having a jet rag or what? Soooo creepy.

The craziest thing was to leave my apartment and my roommate and her cat.
I feel like I am still coming back to that place, but I'm not! I packed all my stuff. I miss my apartment. It was my home. It was where I belong. I left so many memories in that apartment, and my roommate needs to live with them. damn the change is tough.

So I woke up this morning, and I had nothing to eat (of course!).
I quickly took a shower and decided to explore my neighborhood. Or I should say to get food. lol.

I knew it's a south asian/colombian/south korean neighborhood, so 98% of people I saw today was somehow Indian-looking or Spanish-looking people. (which I am so used to see on campus as well. lol) I had no problem with those people, BUT the problem was....

WHERE IS ENGLISH SIGN??????????
I THOUGHT I WAS IN AMEERICAAA!!??

All I want was basic grocery...like eggs, breads, milk...and maybe some vegetables, but I had no clue what kind of stores they were. The street was all covered with the signs in Indian, Korean, or whatever the languages I don't read. Dang!! I'm so lost!

So I walked 4 blocks with looking around those languages, and I finally decided to go into one of the brand new store. I got some stuff from a mexican lady and walked back with 4 heavy bags....

My first grocery shopping here was not very successful, but I think I will like this place.
