Diane’s World

Thursday was a good day.

We had our last class with Nancy Pearcey, and we chose our topics for the 2000-3000 word paper we have to write.

I chose the topic of a Christian’s view of postmodern art.

She told me she is currently writing a book on the topic. She is eager to find out what I write.

Maybe I’ll get mentioned in her book… maybe? (Crossing my fingers right now…)

Later that day, two of my roommates and I along with three of the guys went to starbucks. We were planning to study, but we ended up chatting.

I’ve never had so many intellegent conversations in my life. The students here are very intellegent and our conversations are full of substance. I’m loving it.

Friday our class was with Mira Lowe, a recruiter for Newsday. She taught us how to write a resume, cover letter, and how to answer interview questions.

Our assigment was to actually create our resume. She liked mine.

That night we had a huge group of people, but eventually me, my two roommates, alison and Jason ended up breaking off and finding a diner.

Then we went to KB toystore, where Jason and I bought a My Little Pony (personal Joke).

And we walked through times square, trying to look local. We are doing a good job of it.

Then Jason, Max and Alison came by late at night and had Coffee and hot chocolate.

The city has too many people.

I miss Iowa where you can see a horizon line.

But New York is going well.

Want pictures?

We get four to six free newspapers every day. These guys didn’t pose for this newspaper (this is in our room when we had everybody over for dinner)

Party in my room! It went very well.

Me reading the newspaper on my favorite window sill. It’s so fun to listen to Simon and Garfunkel while reading the New York times and watching people walk down the street. Nothing beats that feeling.

This is in a HUGE KB toys store - there is a merry-go-round, and one of the cars is my little ponies. Jason and I have a personal joke about my little ponies, so we had to get a picture

(rachel, Jason is a sober version of Drew G. - I am NOT kidding.)

Well that’s all for now. We are about to head out to Soho and the grocery store.

Tonight it looks like we might to go a Julliard’s recital (free!)

And I have so much homework. But it’s fun homework - a few essays and a really good book.

Mom feel free to call me whenever.

Postal Service needs to make more music. They are quality stuff.

Love you all! Diane
