-My four-leg-each-way journey would make for a fantastic RNC speech.
-The train I take to get me in on time gets me in early. Early enough to get a chocolate croissant and iced coffee at the place near the building.
-Whoa, I'm in New York! Not sure if this counts as pro or con, but I'm well-situated to replace some of last year's dog-walk-through-mud clothes with ones appropriate for such things as teaching, being part of the world of non-stay-at-home-poodle-mom-dissertaters. Given that this means stuff like a $40 blazer from Zara Boys, and not going around in stained, ragged tank tops, I'm thinking "pro."
-Dos Toros!!!
Cons:
-Spent a good amount of my time in the city attempting to prove to the university that I'm still on the very same health insurance as since forever. Some kind of computer issues, but they don't recognize the grad students as having insurance for the time being.
-Credit card declined at two different NJ Transit machines, due - I now know - not to any problem with my card, but with the machines themselves.
-NJ Transit is the most expensive thing ever, thanks to Chris "my mom took three buses to work" Christie. Well done, dude!
-The gastrointestinal difficulties of the man who seemed to be not-so-surreptitiously taking pictures of me with his phone, diagonally across from me.
