New-Ark

My last post was about the beauty of Nevis rain, written a year ago. Now, I'm sitting in a small rectangular room. The walls are painted a deep salmon. Heavy dark chocolate drapes cover the window. I've piled the small twin sized bed with pillows of various sizes. Overtaking the whole bedroom is a giant student desk, sitting akwardly in front of the window. It tries to blend in, the soft brown pine doesn't particularly clash with anything. There sheer size of it deems it the elephant in the room. and this elephant softly whispers 'study' 'step one' 'deadline' and sometimes hiccups "STEP!!!". It's the last thing I see before I sleep, and one of the first in the morning. and what a morning. I've been having to wake up at 6:30 am to catch a train to newark where the kaplan classes are being held for a 7 week prep. the classes are good, but being in the real world, in a real city with people and stores and fashion and experiences to be had, is whats really fun. I'll try to keep us all posted on here. for now though, this is it.
