East Side Hello Oregon from the East SIDE!!!! I am able to write from you beacuase i am not yet in the city but rather in a part of Connecticut at a cousin of Andrea's house. It is amazingly beautiful here. The trees are awe inspiring and everyone is so friendly. I cant wait to experience the different kind of people in new york. I have been doing the usual, hot-tubing, jetskiing, eating, basking in a boat in the middle of a most beautiful lake, and sleeping the most deepest of sleeps. Today was a day full of relaxing a planning. We are just about to be leaving for the city and shopping. Andrea nad i are composing a list of groceried for the week and will go purchase all pof them befor getting into the city. There we will meet Rosemary (the owner of the apartment where i am staying) and walk around our blocke so we can know all the landmarks and such. The rest of the night is up for grabs, probably unpacking, eating some more, and mentally/physically preparing for dance bright and eatrly in the morning. I know to most of you it may mnot sound exciting, but it is pure heaven. The only way it could be better to be here were if the ones i loved were here. Already i have glanced at andrea today and n oted whom we missed and reminiced in the memories. Its weird to think that i am 3000 miles away from my home, but yet just a phone call away. Every city in the world contains its own lives and this is a seperate one i am eager to live. I have to go load up the car. Tomarrows a huge day and i hope i can continue to write but that all depends on computer availability. Missing you, later  ¶ 1:58 PM
