I'm not ashamed to admit that I think My Little Pony is the cutest thing ever:

Been here seven days. Had four fire alarms. This better not be like last year. Also, the alarms are so much louder in this building. My ears are literally still ringing from the alarm we had an hour ago.

Musing: If I can prove my hearing has been damaged by the end of the year, can I sue Rowan?

I'm all moved in back at school, and now that I finally have electricity (both at my dorm and it came on at home this morning too, exactly one week after it went off), I'll update on some things, in no particular order:

I went into NYC with my brother on Friday. I'd like to mention that I successfully navigated the subway and all the streets on my own for the very first time ever. I feel proud of myself. We wandered all over. South Street Seaport, walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, the new World Trade Center building, Time Square, Bryant Park, Rockefeller Center, The Met, Central Park, Museum of Natural History... It was a tiring day, but we had fun. Maybe I'll post some pictures in a bit, if I don't feel lazy.

MY DORM BEDROOM IS AMAZING. And it's all mine. All. mine. No roommates this year, just suitemates. The room is huge. And the door is so incredibly thick, when I close it, it blocks out every. single. noise. Yessss. I'll take some pictures or make a video once I finish setting it up.

Checked how many Japanese flashcards I have to do since my computer hasn't had power this entire week: over seven hundred. This will be fun to catch up with.

This song:

Six. days.

Got a call from JCP&L this morning: "We're calling to confirm that your power has been restored!" *clicks light switch* Nope, still not on. Sigh.

Still no lights

Five days without electricity. Really, Jersey Central Power & Light? We got a call from them today: "Your power will probably be restored by tomorrow [Friday] night. If not by then, then most likely over the weekend." So basically, that phone call told us nothing.
