Friday Night

Friday night we rode the subway to Time Square and then stopped at Star Bucks before heading home.

New York's Finest


Mennonite girls saving money.


When Anthony and I rode the subway back, we got a little lost.
Letter "A" in the middle is where we started
and letter "B" on the far left is where we ended
and the blue is where we walked.
GOOD TIMES!

Anthony Mast

This is the guy I'm sharing my room with and probably a lot of time for the next 2 years.

The Average Day

Last night we had bible study. Afterward we went to White Castle for a snack and when we were leaving a guy asked for spare change so we bought him supper.

Here is a picture of our classroom.

This is where we spend most of our time during the day.

This is the schedule we stick to most days.

Target

Last evening we went to Target. The building looked like a stadium on the outside and a shopping center on the inside. It had a parking garage on the outer edge and we parked on the top. When we came out the sun was setting and even New York City looked beautiful.
Take a look.

Arriving in NYC

Yesterday afternoon my parents unloaded me in NYC! Just left me here (J.K.)! I will be living here for 5 weeks in a basement of 221 Ridgewood Ave. in Brooklyn. Here are some pics of my lodging. I share the lodging with a guy my age and a 50ish couple.

View from the bed facing the "door" (which is a sheet)

View of the living room.

You might not see it in the pictures but all the ceilings are kinda low, So I gotta watch my head :)
