look at this awesome app that i got for free! it's just a map of new york's subway system, but can i tell you how helpful it has been? especially because...
...you can zoom in on any part you want! here's how i was able to find out that if i'm taking the 3 train uptown (it's express) my last chance to transfer to the 1 and thus make my stop at 116th street is: 96th street. YOU ARE SO HELPFUL, MAP.
this was all very helpful yesterday when i was exploring the city.
today i had orientation until just a couple minutes ago...lots of people talking about relatively mundane things, but the kind of relatively mundane things that are necessary on the first day of school.
tonight is my first class: law and educational policy. okay, story time:
when i came to TC (teachers college - get the lingo, people) in april for admitted students' weekend, another admitted student to my program WENT TO MY HIGH SCHOOL, though she graduated 3 years before me. small world, especially since there are only 30 people in this program this year! she's very nice, and we talked about growing up in rural north carolina, etc.
fast forward to today. i see her again, and she says "i have to tell you this. i was reading on our law teacher's bio that he taught high school english in rural north carolina, and i had to email him to ask WHERE in rural north carolina. he emailed me back to say north wilkesboro! i knew you would be amused by that."
north wilkesboro!!
OMG i am so amused. i can't wait to find out where he taught, and what he thought of my little hometown. SMALL WORLD MOMENTS EVERYWHERE, PEOPLE.
