Moving Day

Yesterday was rather busy. We arrived safely in New York via the New Jersey Transit train, and then walked to the Vogue from Penn Station, not more than half a mile. No sooner had we arrived at the Vogue when 5-8 King's students and staff mobbed us, taking my bags, sending me up to check-in, and so forth. Then, since we were the first to arrive at the apartment, I quickly selected a bottom bunk, as recommended by our House Chamberlain. Dad swept the floor while I unpacked - then the remaining three roomates showed up -- all within ten mintues of each other. The situation quickly became chaotic.
On a side note, our apartments were much more spacious that I was expecting. We have a small kitchen/kitchenette, a rather spacious living room, four large closets (about twice as much as I was expecting), a linen closet, a coat closet, a cramped bathroom (to be expected), and a good-sized bedroom (with two bunk beds). We also have a balcony -- but no view whatsoever. Air conditioning, high-speed Internet, even a dishwasher ... better than home! I may post some pictures on Flickr.
The rest of the day was spent unpacking - I brought the least amount of stuff, by volume, but I don't know how much more is being shipped. There is still plenty of room regardless. In the evening, we had no pressing committments except to attend a student reception at 9 PM in the Student Lounge. We played an icebreaker game (called "Bunkbeds") and mingled for a while. After they kicked us out, twenty or thirty students were assembled on the roof of the Vogue, so I joined them with some of my roommates. I took an early night around 12:30 PM.
Church today, and free time later. We might go to Costco - there's some stuff we need to get.
