I had the opportunity to take a sunset cruise around Manhattan last night so I thought I would share some of the photos. I've just wrapped up week number 2 at NYU. We are just one week away from the student staff arriving and 2 weeks from all residents. Hope everyone is doing well.

Sunset cruise

Week one

My first week at NYU has just wrapped up with a HUGE free dinner and open bar at a local restaurant. I have learned so much and still have SO much more to learn. The staff is amazing. Incredibly welcoming and offer lots of assistance. I think I'm going to love it here for a long time to come.

Next week should be fun because we find out which VIP residents will live in the building. It is the most sought after for 1st year students. In the past 2 years, Denzel Washington and Bono's children have lived here (haley joel osmont of the "sixth sense" also dated a resident). I had an opportunity to go to dinner with one of my faculty as well. He runs the French program here and consults for our program in Paris too. He is awesome and has great plans for the building this year. There has been lots of talk about all the things we get to do here with Broadway shows, going behind the scenes, taking ski trips, etc. I'm incredibly fortunate and will continue to share the excitement in words and pictures.

I must also give thanks to Rick, Cherie, Bridget and Mike for housing me on my adventure up here. Also, Bridget and Brittany for letting us join them for brunch on Sunday.

Lastly, thank you so much to mom and dad who helped make this home. It was really nice to come home from the first 2 days of crazy training to see my parents. Continue to take care of my little girl too. I miss her greatly.

Hope everyone is doing well.
