Dear World,

I am not dead.  I am back, and ready as ever.  I finally figured out how to turn my phone into a hotspot so I can get on a (really slow) internet connection and quickly update the blog!

Obviously, I am now living in New York City.  I am attending AMDA and studying Musical Theatre, and it has been the best decision I have ever made.

So far.  It has only been three weeks, after all.

Life here in NYC is everything I ever imagined it could be.  I finally have the independence I’ve always wanted, the experiences I’ve always desired, and the key to my future right at my fingertips.  All I have to do now is grasp it.

I will tell the stories of my time here up until this point all in due time, my lovelies.  I may have been on a long hiatus, but I have not forgotten about my faithful (currently nonexistence) readers.  I’ve been writing my blog posts, I just haven’t found a convenient way to transfer them to the internet until tonight.

Tomorrow morning, I will be making the journey to Mt. Sinai Hospital to begin my Remicade treatments here in the big city.  I may have to take my first subway journey in the morning, or I might just be wimpy and walk the couple of miles.  With my current horrible, everlasting cold, however, I’m not so sure that’s an awesome idea, so subway it is!

I promise, I’ll write more tomorrow during my first day off since … a very long time.  I’ve gotta catch everybody up!  Until then, here’s a brief overview:

·         I’m doing a lot of exercise:
o       I take four two-hour dance classes a week.
o       Yoga/Pilates is taught in two of my classes (that’s five times a week) and is also offered as an early-morning warm-up.
o       I walk to school and back every day, and twenty-four city blocks and back on Thursdays to my weekly voice lesson.
·         I got a job on the costumes crew with AMDA.  I help people try on clothes and sort costume pieces.  And I get a taste of what showcases will be like during fourth semester, because I’ll be the on-call costume girl for many of the performances.  And I get paid for this!  Life is good.
·         I have a cold that will never go away.  My voice feels like it will no longer be here tomorrow.  Sadness …

Goodnight!

Love,

Little Me.
