Dear Boston 2 - "OMG. ITS BLUE & CREAM FROM NYC PREP!!!!"

Dear Boston,
So its day four in Dobbs Ferry and I’m not sure what to expect. I’m still trying to be social but I’m not sure if its completely working. Either I’m doing it and its not working or its just not working. At this point, I don’t care and I should let things go with the flow. I have such a strong fear of not getting to know anyone that I’m freaking out which I shouldn’t do.

Did I tell you that the food here is iffy/good? When I mean iffy/good I mean its good but sometimes its iffy. Kinda an improvement to Nobles but that’s probs I’m in a new environment. Also, we go out a lot to go eat so that plays into it. Every morning I get a bagel (anything that isn’t plain) with cream cheese with chives and SALMON. Isnt that crazy? Definitely a step up than Nobles. My friend, Oliver, said, “Well at least they’re feeding you well.” Which is true. I feel fat though when I go out to eat at the Master’s dining hall because I always get a plate of the hot meal and a plate of salad where as everyone just gets one plate of something.

ALSO, the check-in time is a huge difference than Nobles. We have to be in the building at 10PM opposed to 9PM. And we can walk around Dobbs Ferry all by ourselves if we want to. I’ve done it (emo as that seems) but I went to go get stamps to mail post cards to my friends. Kinda crazy. And we don’t have a formal bedtime. Its pretty chill here which I’m not sure about since I like structure but I have to take it since college will be sorta similar.

Just got a text that our morning meeting at 10:30 is now moved to 4:30. Grr because I would’ve slept until 11. Whatever.
Theres a dog walk which I’m still iffy on because walking yesterday was a paaaaain in the butt. Actually. We walked around the city which was fine but then when we got back to Dobbs Ferry and had to walk up a ton of hills, ugghhh…kill me. Not to mention I hate walking through the Masters campus because its huge and I get lost so easily. But since I forgot my running sneakers and cant go to the gym, I should take the offer on the walk. More exercise for me…. :/

OH YEA. I have so much to write. So if you don’t want to read, don’t. Yesterday was our first day into the city and we had a scavenger hunt based on the book we read, Ragtime. It was so cool because we explored many neighborhoods and landmarks like the Lower East Side and the Pierpoint Morgan Library. As the huge Gossip Girl and NYC Prep fan that I am, I freaked when I saw show land marks like Grand Central Station (Serena in Season 1), Columbus Circle (when PC apologized to Jessie after throwing the water bottle at her), and Blue & Cream (when Jessie got pissed when PC was late to meeting up with her). CRAZY CRAZY. :) I took a ton of pics but I left my memory card reader at home so I think I'm going to ask someone if they have one.

Anyways, I have homework to since I’m already awake.
