I spent Monday morning in a cafe on Broadway (a few bus stops down the road) reading texts for my upcoming classes. Afterward, i ventured into a variety of green grocers and small ethnic supermarkets scattered along the street. I was delighted to find a Greek/ish/etc. food market with olives and feta by weight, and lovely homemade baklava.
This week I've been busy with Regent's orientation program- I can't imagine starting classes this coming Monday without having had time over the holidays to get situated here. I'm grateful for these last two and a half weeks (how has it been that long?!) to settle in, explore, and find my feet. Its a nice stable place (and a sweet one, thanks to the baklava) from which to launch into this season.
