hit by a school bus...a short one none the less

ok, so, for those of you who don't know, i am in new york city for the next 4 months while i do an internship with VH1. i voluntarily threw myself into this chaotic city, and i fear it might eat me alive, that is, if the flesh eating bacteria from the subway doesn't get me first. i am living on an island right next to manhattan called roosevelt island, and it mainly consists of apartment buildings and grocery stores...oh, we have a post office, too. the city is really pretty at night (in case you have never seen it) and times square is nuts with all the lights. i do, however, sometimes miss the normalcy of ortonville/oxford/mount pleasant. i miss the $1 pints of beer and the hicks that chew tobacco and spit in a cup. i don't think i could ever get used to paying $8 for a gallon of milk and seeing 8-year-olds that are more gangster than any adult i have ever seen. i think that coming home in may will be a huge relief, and i won't have to tote hand sanitizer with me wherever i go.
