I've Arrived!

Well I had a fairly uneventful flight up to LaGuardia today—though when I sat down with my salad for a late lunch, I failed to cut a dense piece of lettuce with my fork. The result was that my fork snapped in half and my salad flew everywhere. Probably one of the more embarrassing moments of my life. I feared it was a sign of things to come, but a friend of mine reassured me that it was only a sign that I should've gotten a pizza or a hamburger. So I went to Arby's and got a roast beef sandwich and some curly fries.

But after two painless legs of flying—Birmingham to BWI to LaGuardia—I have finally arrived in the City (my brother, who is also going to be one of my roommates, said we can only refer to it as the City now—that may take some getting used to). Brother, as I will henceforth refer to him as in this blog, had a productive day on the apartment hunt and may have found us a winner. But, get this, the apartment might be in Brooklyn!! After all this build up of dread about waking up in Brooklyn, I very well may be waking up every morning in Brooklyn (gasp!). "Waking Up in the Bronx" doesn't quite have the same ring to it, and I don't think it's possible for one to be "Waking Up in Staten Island"—unless I were to sleep walk onto the ferry. So alas, my blog's name may be taking on a more literal tone.

Tomorrow, I begin my weeklong orientation for the DGA training program. I'm excited to meet my fellow trainees and get a better idea of what to expect over the next two years. I'm also excited to see the training program's office—which, according to my highly scientific Google maps searching, seems to be in the same building as the Late Show with David Letterman. I have no idea what to expect, but I am fully prepared to dive headfirst into whatever tasks I'm given (So I will beat on, my boat against the current...or something like that). Stay tuned...
