Today in the city...

I used a public restroom (that is a single room) and discovered the lock was broken. Not knowing what to do, I shrugged my shoulders and used the bathroom anyway. I felt very brave considering I'm in NYC and when in public can't seem to stop thinking about dirt and germs and all the negative toxins I am breathing into my body...

I was mistaken for a Swedish person but discovered this made me happy. I regretted having to explain, "No, I'm not from Sweden..."

I used the Subway on my own and I didn't get lost or end up back home in Michigan. I consider this a small victory.

I overheard a rather amusing conversation between two girls in Central Park. Here is the conversation:

Girl #1: I'm not going to think about it. Thinking about it just drives me crazy.

Girl #2: I know! Don't think about it!

Girl #1: I know, I shouldn't think about it. (Pause) I'm still thinking about it! UGH!

I was reminded of the website, Overheard in New York.

Also, I've taken a ridiculous amount of photos thus far and am in the process of uploading them onto flickr. Here is the start.

I am really enjoying NYC.
