Brooklyn, baby!
After three weeks of searching and trying to find a place to call my own in New York City, I have finally found a place - in Williamsburg, Brooklyn! I was looking all over, but was most drawn to Brooklyn as a creative and collaborative place.

Of the day.
I have recently begun the transition from living at home to living in The City. The City is what those in the tri-state area call New York City. I have no idea what I am doing, all I know is that I got on a train on Tuesday morning as a random waiter in New Jersey. Then, that very same afternoon after taking a meeting with an NYU grad student, I was a newbie New York production co-ordinator on...
