Welcome to New York!

I know that sounds like a strange title but that was the song that was playing when I landed at Gatwick. The flight itself was just fine. I met a lovely Greek girl who sat next to me and the food was good. I arrived right on time but the border line was miserable. My cousin was great, he picked me up, drove me to Cambridge, and took me out to lunch. I got to the lovely house where I'm living fairly easily. Getting my bag up the stairs to my room on the fourth floor was not so easy. Despite the distance to the bathroom three flights down, I like my room which is large and has a pleasant view. I am all checked in now and I've met some very nice people. I've even gone on an adventure to find a store that was open after five on a Sunday. I'm now quite exhausted and I am going to try and get some sleep before a busy day of orientation. I mentioned to another girl that I feel rather like the freshmen I so recently encountered at Mount Orientation. I am so excited to be here and I'm so glad to have gotten here without serious trouble.

In a move very unlike myself I have neglected to take pictures of everything I've seen so please enjoy the only picture from today - it is a view from inside Pembroke College.
