a city of millions can be very lonely

New York City can be a very lonely place. Even though there is so much to do, and so many people, it's tough sometimes when you don't really know anyone. I've done a lot of walking around myself and reading, so I'm looking forward to film orientation tomorrow so I can meet some new people. However, as lonely as I am, this remains the greatest place on earth. 

Been working for housing a lot. It hasn't been too hard. Pretty easy stuff and it's been passing the time. It's definitely worth it considering all of the benefits. Today a bunch of boxes of those cool twisty energy efficient light bulbs were delivered to my residence hall. The university purchased one light bulb for each resident to use in their room to help make the university greener. I read about a lot of stuff NYU is doing to go green over the summer. Very cool. I've been told that I will have a lot of free time in this position once everyone is moved in (I am already experiencing that), so instead of doing homework or doing nothing I may see if I can use my time to work on a green project for my building or maybe I could work with my building's hall council to do something good for the two homeless shelters that flank our building.

School starts a week from tomorrow. Orientation is tomorrow. Let's hope this is the start to good things. I have a lot of things I want to accomplish in my life, and I really, truly hope this education gives me the tools I need to accomplish my goals. Especially because I'll have a quarter of a million dollars in loans to pay off when I graduate. 

Oh well. It's only paper.
