New city, new thoughts

Here I am in Philadelphia! My window overlooks Broad Street and I have my new box fan going full blast. I can hear the traffic outside, because my windows are propped open, and already I recognize the rumble of the train underneath the building and the beep of the blind crosswalk. I'm meeting my RD Ryan and a couple of the other RAs for Chinese in 20 minutes, but I thought I would jot down a quick entry.

Dad and I squeezed into a sell-out Phillies game yesterday in the nosebleed section, but watching the Phanatic's antics and cheering for Pat Burrell made it great. We took the train there and back and while it wasn't horrible, NYC's is definitely cleaner and slightly less scary.

This afternoon after Dad left, I finished unpacking, and then I took a walk to find the buildings where my classes will be. They weren't hard to find at all, and it also was a very pretty walk.

Ok, I have to get ready, but I'm sure I'll have plenty to write about later. RA training is this wekk!
