The Cathedral of St. John the Divine

So, I was on my way home the other day and went one subway stop too far so I had to walk, but I was glad I did, because on the way home I discovered this AWESOME cathedral!

So then I turned the corner to get a better look and discovered that it was only a side building to a much bigger cathedral
It’s called the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine. Luckily I had my camera on me, and I was able to join all the Asian tourists in some picture-taking.
Also, I’m pretty sure that’s George Washington in the middle of this door:
In the back they had this really cool sculpture garden, the most awesome of which was this epic sculpture of St. John:
I’m pretty sure St. John is holding a giraffe. Don’t ask me why. Here’s a more epic picture:

Where I Live

I finally have pictures!

It’s Sunday so I’m going to try to catch up on all the things I meant to blog about. Anyway, I’m all settled in now and I snapped a few pictures. This is where I live:

And this is where I work:

This is my room:

The furniture, most of the decorations, and even the bedspread belongs to the girl I’m subletting from. The Beatles poster is -- of course -- mine. It’s the only decoration I brought with me.

Here’s the outside of my building. I’m on the top floor.

Here’s the view! Lovely lovely.

More posts coming; I did some cool stuff this weekend.

NEW YORK!

I'm here! It's very surreal, actually. Every time I get on a subway I feel like I'm secretly in a movie.

I don't have a lot of pictures yet (it turns out I brought the camera without the memory card. Fail.) but needless to say, it's awesome! I walked past the Empire State Building on my way to work this morning and nearly wet my pants. Also, my apartment is across the street from Central Park. Literally across the street.

Work is good so far. Everyone is really friendly, and the projects they're working on sound really exciting! My boss actually gave me and the other intern tickets to the Yankees game today, which was pretty awesome (the Yankees won). Anyway, kind of a short random update.
