Every day my dad sends me an email consisting of a "Thought for the Day". I almost laughed when I opened the email today because it reminded me so much of why I am here and the infamous Jay Z song poped in my head. Speaking of Jay Z, what was he and Beyonce thinking by naming their baby Blue Ivy?
Anyway, thanks dad. I've been dreaming of living in NYC since I can remember, and I finally found a way to make it a reality.

I spent the day at Student Teaching Orientation, which made this whole experience seem all more real. It was from 10-3 and entailed hearing all the rules and regs of the program, meeting our supervisors, and seeing the other 80 kids in the program.
All the students from SUNY Cortland (including me obvs) have an amazing supervisor. Her name is Deborah a.k.a. Deb, Debbie, or our NYC Mom. She gave us her home and cell number and told us a million times to call her anytime of day or night. She said if we are sick at 3 in the morning, stressed, upset, or about to get raped, to call her. I love my NYC Mom so much already! She said she doesn't want us to ever feel stressed or overwhelmed. It's great to hear that from the lady that is going to be observing our lessons and grading us! Especially after I heard that other students have intimidating and scary supervisors. I think we got really lucky.
Below are my roommates. The first picture shows me, Celia is in the middle and Kelly on the right. We three are all from SUNY Cortland. They are both Special Education majors. Jesselyn aka Jess (brown hair in the second picture) is who I share a room with and she is from SUNY Oneonta. Jess and I are both 5th year seniors, Childhood Education majors who started college in Fashion Merchandising, and are transfer students to the college we are graduating from. It's crazy how similar our college experience has been and I couldn't ask for a more perfect fit for a roomie.
