Day 44/45

-so I got a text sunday night from my roommate saying that I needed to move out of her place (apparently Mr. Wong (the landlord) is very strict and she would be kicked out if he found out I was living there)
-So now I live in Westwood, New Jersey with my awesome friend Pam and her wonderful grandmother Yita.
-I like it here…reminds me of Texas ;)
-From here on out I will be taking a train or bus (for an hour) into NYC. Then transfer to the path train. Then (at 14th street) take the the f train up to 2nd avenue. then walk 3 blocks to work.
